Abstract: The vital role of logistic support for maintaining uninterrupted drilling operations is well known to offshore petroleum engineers. Moreover, its importance is growing as exploration and production ...

Abstract: The background knowledge of jackup structures, current methods and procedures for moving and positioning of jackups practiced by the industry and related safety performance (analysis of accident ...

Abstract: A methodology is proposed to carry out elastic-plastic fracture analysis of through-wall cracked ductile pipe weldments subjected to pure bending loads. It is based on deformation theory of ...

Abstract: This is the second in series of two papers generated from a recent study on risk-based analysis for developing strategies to ensure pipeline integrity. This paper (Part II—Applications) focuses ...

Abstract: As pipelines age, a flaw population that varies initially along the pipeline can advance in size and number. Analysis of the serviceability of pipelines based on either inline inspection or ...

Abstract: A principal source of vibration in permanent magnet motors and generators is the induced stress from the rotating permanent magnets. The harmonic content of this forcing function may excite ...

Abstract: A principal source of vibration in permanent magnet motors and generators is the induced travelling forces from the rotating permanent magnets acting on the stator. The form of the magnetic ...

Abstract: In chemically active rocks, pore pressure and stress state are not the only parameters that are governed by hydromechanical processes. Chemical osmosis is also responsible for changes in the effective stress caused by the ...

Abstract: During drilling operations, the mud filtrate interacts with the pore fluid around the wellbore and changes pore pressure by capillary and chemical potential effects. Thus the change in pore ...
