The Objective of this study is to conduct full-scale tests of recovered oil/emulsion/water separation rates at OHMSETT in order to predict the optimum time for decanting separated water in temporary storage devices.
The project is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) sponsored by an international partnership of state and federal agencies and private industry which include: Minerals Management Service, Environment Canada, Texas General Land Office, Norwegian Pollution Control Authority, Exxon Research and Engineering Co., Imperial Oil Resources Ltd., U.K. Marine Pollution Control Unit, Swedish Rescue Service and the Canadian Coast Guard.
This is a Cooperative Agreement. A workshop will be held as part of the Joint Symposium of the 13th International Okhotsk Sea and Sea Ice Symposium and Ice Scour and Arctic Marine Pipelines Workshop in Mombetsu, Hokkaido, Japan. The workshop will be held from February 1-5, 1998.
This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to establish a guideline for engineers using non-linear analysis methods in documentation of ultimate limit states for offshore structures. This will be done by establishing procedures suitable for the practicing engineer; showing that non-linear analysis methods will give reliable predictions of ultimate capacity fore offshore structures; establishing requirements of the non-linear analysis software. The guideline will cover all aspects from the requirements of software through modeling if loads and geometry to reporting of details.
This is a Joint Industry Project to re- engineer an existing, stainless steel fire boom. The new boom design is reduced in size, weight, and cost. It is compatible with existing fire booms and be used to form a burn pocket, inserted between refractory fabric fire boom 'arms.' This will extend the life of the fabric boom and make the stainless steel boom easier to handle.
This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) with MMS, Environment Canada, Canadian Coast Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard. Several United States and Canadian government organizations have conducted research on the environmental effects of burning oil in situ. Laboratory experiments have been conducted and models developed to predict heat transfer, pollutant generation, and field effectiveness. A number of large scale burns were conducted to confirm these data and to provide information on operational aspects.
This is a cooperative agreement. To organize, conduct, and document results from an international workshop on Pipelines Safety Assessment and Risk Management Methods. The workshop will bring together pipeline operators, contractors, inspectors, engineers, managers, analysts, researchers, and regulatory agency personnel from around the world to define discuss, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the various methods and approaches that have been and are being developed for pipeline safety assessment and risk management.
This conference will provide a form for researchers and engineers from petroleum companies, platform operators, engineering service industry, material suppliers, manufacturers, regulatory and certification agencies, and academic institutions to:
1. report and review major worldwide, state-of- the-art
developments on composites offshore;
2. identify and forecast new opportunities of utilizing
composites in the petroleum industry to save cost
and provide enabling capabilities;
This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) on the reliability of corroded pipelines. This project sought to develop reliability methods for the assessment of pipeline corrosion, considering the uncertainties of inspections and estimation of burst strength and corrosion-rate. This project was designed for the development of pipeline design rules and pipeline operation and maintenance.
The purpose of this project was to develop the Banff/97 Workshop, which was held in Banff Canada. This was the fourth in a series of workshops that Natural Resources Canada (NRC) organized to address new pipeline technology. The workshop reviewed the progress achieved since the 1995 workshop and carried out intensive group discussions on such topics as risk assessment/risk management, stress-corrosion cracking, operations and maintenance, abandonment issues, and in-line inspections.
