Offshore/subsea systems
This paper reviews the motivation and development of response-based forecasting from the perspective of the authors, reviewing examples and processes that have served as validation and led to modeling refinement.
This paper compares traditional welded techniques, such as above-water repair methods and underwater hyperbaric welding, with the novel options offered by subsea connectors purposely developed for corrosion-resistant-alloy-clad pipelines.
This paper introduces a technology for offshore pipeline inspection centered on an autonomous robotic system equipped with underwater computer vision and edge-computing capabilities.

Shell reported that most of its production was back online, but some facilities will remain shut-in until the end of the year. -
The authors write of an efficiency-optimization effort in the planning and construction of a West African breakwater for LNG service that resulted in increased financial and environmental benefits.
-
The complete paper discusses structural assessments for gravity-based structures, a topic that the authors write is underrepresented in the literature.
-
The paper focuses on a process developed to identify, evaluate, and eliminate interdependent bottlenecks on the Constitution platform and its flowline network.

After more than 2 decades of talk, multiple millions of dollars in investments, and a decade’s worth of joint industry projects, operators are starting to get on board with electrification as the base case for subsea solutions.
-
Contractor, operators will work to bring thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) flowline and riser technology to market.
-
This years’ Offshore Technology Conference is full of people working on ways to diversify away from just oil and gas.
-
The authors present a monoethylene-glycol-sensing system and validate it in a specially constructed flow loop.
-
The paper highlights key learnings in well and reservoir surveillance analysis and optimization that have been developed using early production data from the Wheatstone project offshore Australia.

Flow assurance in subsea oil and gas fields often presents significant challenges. Every field has its own combination of difficulties, and no universal process or system can be used to mitigate these. Detailed knowledge across a broad range of competencies, therefore, is required to find solutions that can minimize the risk of not getting the hydrocarbons safely to t…
