UWA Engineers Supporting Worley's Enhanced Subsea Gas Tieback Project
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 system, separates natural gas from the condensate and water in the
Technology Advances Fisheries Management
Real or near-real time management of Pacific purse seine tuna fisheries is now possible for the first time in history, changing the game for fisheries management. Observer electronic reporting tools – through the new Observer eReporting App –will now be used to help reduce illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and bolster supply chain transparency and traceability in the Western and Central Pacific tuna fisheries. A 2016 analysis conducted by the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) showed that nonreporting, misreporting and underreporting represented
Teledyne CARIS Launches HIPS Essential
provides the tools to extract contours, soundings and bathymetric surfaces for downstream product creation. It also includes the powerful CUBE surface-cleaning tool to further reduce the data processing timeline. End-to-end process automation can be achieved with the new Process Designer, maximizing time management and user reducing subjectivity. "We have spent 25 years producing HIPS and SIPS software with a huge number of tools and possibilities. We felt it was time to release a lightweight version to address the specific needs of those tasked with straight forward bathymetry surveys while at
Teledyne CARIS Unveils HIPS and SIPS 10
. The Process Designer allows users to create customized workflows directly tailored for needs to save, share and execute automatically. This addition offers users complete end-to-end control of processing through automation, thus minimizing the chance of erroneous steps and maximizing time management. The drag and drop concept, which is the basis of the Process Designer, acts as a graphical interface for users. This creates the ability to build pre-defined and parallel workflows for the first time. Defined workflows will drive consistency through your organization
New Drones Are Being Developed for the French Navy
VTOL drone system. DCNS will design and develop the solutions for the ship-based operation and integration of the drone, including the specification and validation of the payloads and mission data links. DCNS will also produce the drone’s mission system, which will enable real-time management of its operations and allow its payloads to be controlled through the combat management system. Over the last 10 years, DCNS has overseen the French armaments procurement agency (DGA) and French Navy’s main aerial drone study and trial programs, operating both on its own and in
