APPLICATION OF TRACER TECHNOLOGY ON THE PRIRAZLOMNOYE OIL FIELD FOR IMPROVING THE FIELD PRODUCTION.
(Master thesis, 2021)Prirazlomnoye oil field is the only field on the Arctic shelf of Russia, where oil production has already begun. Oil production at this field is complicated by both weather and marine production conditions. Oil production ... -
Applications of condition monitoring for the subsea industry
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)With the increased interest in developing offshore fields by subsea completions, also comes the need for minimizing the non-productive time of these systems caused by unexpected failures and lengthy repairs. Maintenance ... -
Applying a machine learning method for cumulative fatigue damage estimation of the IEA 15MW wind turbine with monopile support structures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Offshore support structures are critical for offshore bottom-fixed wind turbines, as they bear nearly all the mass and loading of wind turbine systems. In addition, the support structures are generally subjected to a harsh ... -
Appraisal of riser concepts for FPSO in Deepwater
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-30)With oil and gas reserves moving into deeper waters Floating Production Units (FPUs) have been widely used for production purpose. Selection of FPU for deepwater field development is a complicated task is mainly governed ... -
An Approach to Determine Optimal Bow Configuration of Polar Ships under Combined Ice and Calm-Water Conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06)Selecting an optimal bow configuration is critical to the preliminary design of polar ships. This paper proposes an approach to determine the optimal bow of polar ships based on present numerical simulation and available ... -
Arctic supply chain reliability in Baffin Bay and Greenland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Despite the obvious economic advantages of utilising supply chains across the northern routes, there are significant challenges to their reliability. Every year an increasing number of ships venture into the region to ... -
Artificial island concept – specifics of construction and usage in the Caspian Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The Northern Caspian Sea is considered to be a very perspective region for oil and gas production growth. However, the challenges encountered in the Northern Caspian Sea are not usually met in such combination in another ... -
Artificial lift – electrical submerged pump, best practice and future demands within subsea applications
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)One form for artificial lift that has been used for decades is Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP). Since the birth of ESP in 1926 has the technology evolved slowly and ESP used today has a lot of similarities with the ... -
Assessing slamming loads from breaking waves
(Master thesis, 2014-06-27)Recent studies show that, the load from breaking waves gives largest impact on the platform columns. If these impacts not carefully estimated and designed, they can cause a severe damage to the platform structures. The ... -
Assessing the Technical Specifications of Predictive Maintenance: A Case Study of Centrifugal Compressor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02)Dependability analyses in the design phase are common in IEC 60300 standards to assess the reliability, risk, maintainability, and maintenance supportability of specific physical assets. Reliability and risk assessment ... -
