The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is the most active deepwater region in the world and provides some of the greatest challenges in scope and opportunity for the oil and gas industry. The complex geologic settings and significant water and reservoir depths necessitate high development costs, in addition to requiring innovating technology. The investment costs are substantial: because of the extreme water...

The pulp and paper industry, which is closely related to national economic and social development, is an important industry but also contributes high carbon emissions. Therefore, with the advent of the low-carbon economic era, ways to reduce the carbon emissions and to bring about a low-carbon industrial transition of the pulp and paper industry is becoming one of the important academic project...

OBJECTIVE To determine if any excess of childhood leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was associated with certain striking examples of population mixing in rural Scotland produced by the North Sea oil industry. DESIGN Details were traced for over 30,000 workers involved in the construction of the large oil terminals in the Shetland and Orkney islands in northern Scotland or employed offshore...

For liquid leak detection in machines and industry systems the non-contact laser triangulation can be applied successfully. The refraction of laser ray emitted by sensor head while entering the liquid is used. Experimental tests were carried out for machine oil. Obtained results confirm the possibility to detect oil layers with high accuracy in micrometers. In the paper the idea of a measuremen...

Sustainability is a critical issue for resource-rich countries encountering environmental and social problems in remote regions struggling to overcome the national economy’s reliance on oil gas industry. We explore, through case study of Russian oil-producing regions, interdependency economic, issues by analysing trade-offs between need adopt new technology combat flaring demand socio-economic ...

OBJECTIVES There are no recognized analytical methods for measuring oil mist and vapours arising from drilling fluids used in offshore petroleum drilling industry. To inform the future development of improved methods of analysis for oil mist and vapours this study assessed the inter- and intra-laboratory variability in oil mist and vapour analysis. In addition, sample losses during transportati...

Oil & Gas industry relies on automated, mission–critical equipment and complex systems built upon their interaction and cooperation. To assure continuous operation and avoid any supervision, architects embed Distributed Control Systems (DCS), a.k.a. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, on top of their equipment to generate data, monitor state and make critical online & offl...
