UWA Engineers Supporting Worley's Enhanced Subsea Gas Tieback Project
;Over the past decade, UWA has established itself as a world leader in characterizing and predicting complex flow behaviors, with industry-focussed laboratory and pilot-scale experimental facilities,” Dr Norris said.“Through our partnerships with leading providers of industry-standard simulation tools – used for both engineering design and real-time management – the University has a track record of delivering unique extension capabilities to help manage operating risks and improve the reliability of energy assets.”The subsea system, a pseudo dry gas (PDG) liquid removal
U.S. DOE Grants $21M for Offshore Wind Tech Projects
on a full-scale floating offshore wind turbine as part of the New England Aqua Ventus I project.Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution of Massachusetts will collect high-quality offshore wind resource data off the coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, then use the data to improve atmosphere-ocean simulation tools and reduce uncertainty in offshore wind resource assessment and forecasting."Each project will leverage cost-shared funding from research partners. By providing funding, technical assistance, and government-led coordination, DOE can increase confidence in pre-commercial technologies and
Reducing the Costs of Port and Terminal Ops
new Investment There are also cases where, with careful examination, it may be possible to avoid or reduce investment in new structurers or dredging and still permit larger vessel to access a port or terminal. This could be through close examination of vessel arrival and departure navigation, using simulation tools. Alternatively, it may be possible to demonstrate that a layer of fluid mud would not in fact impede safe access to a terminal. The Authors Tom Matthewson is a Technical Director and Business Manager at HR Wallingford, leading the development and delivery of multidisciplinary marine
Makai Upgrades Cable Installation Simulation Software
ship plan, installation notes and more) is passed onto MakaiLay, which is installed on the cable ship. This smooth and hassle-free transition from planning to installation minimizes the chance of errors, by totally eliminating the need to use a host of individual Excel spreadsheets, databases, and simulation tools that were not designed specifically for subsea cable lays
OPTION Attracts New Partner for Oil Recovery
OPTION (Optimizing Oil Production by Novel Technology Integration) aims to significantly improve simulation tools for the prediction and control of the flow between the horizontal wells and the reservoir – with a focus on enhancing oil recovery. As part of their investment in the project, DONG Energy will contribute with the complete subsurface dataset from the Siri and Stine fields, located in the Danish sector of the North Sea. Dr Michael Kragh Engkilde, Subsurface Manager of Siri Asset at DONG Energy says: “With our ambition to extend the life of the Siri Area, we are
Submarine Maneuvering Simulation Technology
. Conclusions Good qualitative agreement has been shown between predictions and measurements for the studied maneuvers. The results obtained demonstrate the suitability of the present methodology for the simulation of submarine maneuvers and motion of similar underwater autonomous vehicles. CFD simulation tools will help engineers to optimize the design and analysis process and improve the maneuvering capabilities, survivability and cost of submarines.
