This paper empirically explores the concept of co-materialization to explain the digital innovation dynamics in offshore petroleum production. The central insight developed is that the very nature of subsurface processes and phenomena that may be monitored and controlled is transformed as offshore petroleum production is digitalized. The paper shows how digital technologies are intrinsic to thi...

Recent years, offshore outsourcing has received large amount of attention from both industry and academia because of its attractive advantages such as cost reduction, talent access. As an alternative way to implement information systems in operation management, offshore insourcing has been greatly overlooked. Though organizations shun from the contractual obligations in offshore insourcing, the...

PURPOSE: An analytical model to predict the response of mounds placed in the offshore is presented, with the overall aim of providing a technique for the preliminary design of mounds subjected mainly to cross-shore sediment-transport processes induced by non-breaking waves. For example, offshore mounds created from dredged material can be used to protect sandy beaches by dissipating wave energy...

Offshore aquaculture is increasingly viewed as a mechanism to meet growing protein demand for seafood, while minimizing adverse consequences on the environment and other uses in the oceans. However, despite growing interest in offshore aquaculture, there appears to be no consensus as to what measures commonly define an offshore site or how effects of offshore aquaculture—relative to more nearsh...

In the background of the offshore wind turbine monitoring applications, we analyzed the characteristics of the offshore wind turbine monitor and gave the architecture of the offshore wind turbine monitor system. We designed the system model of blade wear and vibration in offshore wind turbine, and combined with energy efficient data aggregation algorithm based on the specific application to mon...

PROBLEM Tragic marine and offshore accidents have caused serious consequences including loss of lives, loss of property, and damage of the environment. METHOD A proactive, risk-based "goal setting" regime is introduced to the marine and offshore industries to increase the level of safety. DISCUSSION To maximize marine and offshore safety, risks need to be modeled and safety-based decisions ...

This paper describes application areas for mobile service robots in offshore oil and gas producing environments, requirements and restrictions for the use of the robots together with a first prototype and its evaluation in a field test. The field of offshore oil and gas production is analyzed in the first part to identify possible application scenarios for mobile automation. It shows that there...

This paper examines liquidity premium focusing on the difference between offshore and onshore hedge funds. Due to tax provisions and regulatory concerns, offshore and onshore hedge funds have different legal structures, which lead to differences in share restrictions such as a lockup provision. We find that offshore investors collect higher illiquidity premium when their investment has the same...

This paper investigates the effect of moisture content on interface shear strength between offshore clay and steel plate. Although, sensitive and high plasticity offshore clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and many other countries in the world, and steel is a vital construction material for many structures, research works on interaction between offshore clay and steel surface are ...
