Establishing a reliable value for the axial pipe-soil interface resistance is critical for the design of offshore pipelines. Over the last few years, several independent research groups have modified existing methodologies or devised new testing setups to ...
Ecological awareness, pressing climate considerations and rising need for soil stabilization push forward the quest for alternative solutions in geotechnical engineering such as Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP). Precipitated crystals serv ...

Offshore pipelines that transport hydrocarbons under high pressure and high temperature are usually thermally insulated to maintain an elevated temperature and prevent any heat loss to the surroundings. However, the temperatures at the outer-wall of the pi ...

Even though advanced power generation systems offer higher efficiencies than simpler gas turbines, severe area and weight restrictions keep on impeding their widespread implementation in offshore petroleum industry. If those restrictions could be resolved, ...

Geomechanical stability issues may arise due to induced thermal stresses because CO2 will generally reach the storage formation at a temperature lower than that of the reservoir. Cold injection will form a cold region around the injection well, which will ...

Macroscale and mesoscale simulations of hyper-concentrated sediment-laden flows rely on robust couplings of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the shear-stress transport k-ω turbulence model. Also other closure laws for model ...

Pressure changes in the above zone, i.e., the overlying aquifer of an injection zone separated by a sealing caprock, are usually attributed to leakage through wells. However, pressure changes can be induced geomechanically due to rock deformation without a ...
Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate gyres within open lacustrine embayments subjected to parallel-to-shore currents. In such embayments, gyre formation occurs due to flow separation at the embayment’s upstream edge. High momentum fluid fr ...
