A technique was developed for transmitting underwater information by means of digital acoustic telemetry between a transmitter and receiver which determine by signal and feedback the optimum frequency, data rate, and power level.
To quantify the effects of whole drilling muds on corals and the extent and chemical make-up of mud plumes.
To study the formation of overpressured marine sediments to predict their occurrence during drilling operations.
The objective was a technology assessment and identification of research needed to prevent, suppress, and fight enclosed and open fires on offshore platforms.
Assess the status of technology and identify needed research and development for outer continental shelf operations in the ice-covered Arctic Ocean.
Develop technology for sensing hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbon gas on an offshore structure by means of a fluidic gas concentration sensor.
Develop technology for using fluidic controlled flow for mud pulse telemetry. Mud pulse telemetry is a system of obtaining downhole digitized data while drilling by pulsing through the drill mud.
To develop procedures for inspecting production systems.
Evaluated the ability of four designs of ultrasonic flowmeters to detect leaks in pipelines. Calibrated the meters at the Exxon clean crude facility at Baytown, Louisiana and then at the raw crude terminal at Grand Isle, Louisiana.
