Inhibitors for steel implements
Abstract: Oil and gas industries use corrosion inhibitors made of active inhibitor intermediate, carboxylic acid, demulsifier and surfactant in aromatic solvent, and alcohol. High pressure and high temperature oil well flow lines are made of steel pipes. These pipes are prone to corrosion from gaseous contamination, oil quality, flow rate, developed shear stress of turbulence, pump spar techniques, etc. Carbon dioxide to carbolic acid conversion at below 100oC temperature appears to …

Effect of Oil Spills on Marine life
Abstract: Oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially marine areas due to human activities and is a form of pollution. Oil spill pollution can have multiple causes both of natural and anthropogenic origin. The major oil spills of the world include Exxon Valdez oil spill, Arabian Gulf spill, Deepwater Horizon spill and Mumbai oil spill. Oil spills have negative impact on marine ecosystem which …

Seasonal Variation in the Weibull Parameters from In Situ Measurements and Model: A Case Study in the Bay of Bengal
Abstract: Seasonal variation of wind speed (U10) and its distribution are essential for the design of wind energy converters (WEC). In this study, year-round wind speed observations from a deepwater moored buoy at a location in the Bay of Bengal are used to assess the potential for wind power generation and are used to validate the ERA5 model. Model-U10 distribution is confined to low wind speeds with high occurrence in the …

Role of Satellite Data Assimilation on ERA-Interim and ERA5 Wave Parameter Ratios – A Case Study based on Year-long In-Situ Observations in the Bay of Bengal
Abstract: The rapid decline in the energy resources forced mankind to tap other forms of natural energy resources in the light of exponential increase in the demand due to over-population. The energy from ocean waves is one of the cleanest sources of energy available perennially that changes seasonally and is site-specific. To assess the wave power potential at any site, knowledge of the wave parameters such as wave height, period and …

Embracing Health, Safety, and a Greener Environment in the Construction of Offshore Structures
Abstract: Offshore infrastructure (oil and gas platforms, offshore wind farms, subsea cables, ports, and associated works) plays a vital role in energy, communications, and trade. However, construction activities offshore create complex safety, public health and environmental risks from worker injuries and exposure to hazardous substances, to marine pollution and ecosystem damage with downstream human health effects. This paper reviews the hazards, regulatory and management frameworks, lessons from major incidents, and practical …

Managed Pressure Drilling for Improved Well Control: A Cross-Case Comparative Study (2015–2025)
Abstract: Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) has matured over the past decade from a specialist technique applied to challenging wells into a mainstream drilling capability spanning ultra-HPHT exploration, deepwater development, unconventional tight-gas multi-well campaigns, and naturally fractured sour-gas reservoirs. Despite this maturation, the operational question of which MPD variant should be applied to a given well has been addressed in the literature case-by-case rather than through structured comparative synthesis. This paper presents …

ASSESSING RISKS OF FIRE ITS CONSEQUENCE MODELLING AND DETECTION SYSTEMS FOR OFFSHORE INDUSTRIES
Abstract: Offshore industries are well recognized all over the world for its complex conditions, geometry, robustness, and rigidness. A small mistake can immediately escalate to catastrophe, of all the accidents reported till date fire is the most frequently reported one. Major accidents like the Deepwater Horizon, piper alpha has taught entire crude industry a lesson on how important it is to prevent fire occurrence. therefore, it is necessary to study fire …
