Advanced geotechnical engineering applications, such as shale gas extraction, CO2 geological sequestration, and geological radioactive waste storage, often involve various types of shales located at significant depths. Shales exhibit mechanical properties ...
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 ...
Offshore oil and natural gas production is an energy-intensive activity and is responsible for the emission of significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The main emitting source is the simple-cycle gas turbines (SCGT) of the utility system ...
Due to restricted weight and space budget on floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO), the offshore utility systems have been limited to low-efficiency energy technologies. Moreover, owing to time-varying energy demands of the FPSOs, the ex ...
On conventional offshore petroleum platforms, the combined heat and power production (CHP) currently depends on simple cycle gas turbine systems (SCGT) that operate at lower efficiency and increased environmental impact compared to modern onshore thermoele ...

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 ...
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 ...
