Improved Constraints on Andean Glaciations From the Lake Titicaca Continental Drilling Record

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Long sedimentary records from tropical lakes provide crucial archives for reconstructing the timing and extent of tropical alpine glaciations, yet robust chronologies beyond the radiocarbon limit (ca. 50 ka) remain scarce. Here, we refine the ca. 350 kyr chronology for Lake Titicaca (Peru‐Bolivia) using radiocarbon dating, optically stimulated

Prediction and risk assessment of natural gas hydrate formation in deepwater wellbores

open access: yesYou-qi chuyun, 2020
Hydrate formed in the wellbore during deepwater shallow drilling will affect the operation safety, so it is necessary to predict and analyze the hydrate formation range and degree in the wellbore annulus.

Precursor Analysis for Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling: From Prescriptive to Risk-Informed Regulation [PDF]

open access: yes
The Oil Spill Commission’s chartered mission—to “develop options to guard against … any oil spills associated with offshore drilling in the future” (National Commission 2010)—presents a major challenge: how to reduce the risk of low-frequency oil spill ...

Real – Time Geomechanics: Applications to Deepwater Drilling

open access: yes, 2010
Lithologies under deepwater conditions usually show relatively reduced effective stress, due to the reduced lithostatic column. This translates into relatively narrow mud weight windows, driven mainly by shear failure or pore pressure in overpressured ...

Texas deepwater port: The Texas offshore crude oil unloading facility.

open access: yes, 1979
16 p.This brochure will acquaint you with the deepwater oil port to be built off the coast of Texas. The port is obviously not the answer to our nation's evergy problems, but it will provide a technically proven facility for offloading supertankers ...

Study on Drill String Fatigue Life in Deepwater Drilling

open access: yesShiyou jixie, 2016
Dynamic response of the deepwater drilling platform increases alternating loads of the drilling string.As a consequence,the calculation of drill string fatigue life becomes more complicated.By using the numerical simulation method,a method for studying ...

Interference analysis and operability envelopes design for deepwater parallel strings

open access: yesOil & Gas Science and Technology, 2019
Dual derrick operations are widely used for field development during offshore drilling. During this process, complex operations and complicated hydrodynamic interaction may contribute to the interference collisions of parallel strings.

Optimising deepwater drilling safety and efficiency in Australia with closed-loop circulation drilling systems

open access: yes, 2012
Closed-loop circulation drilling (CLCD) systems provide an increasingly viable alternative to open-to-the-atmosphere conventional drilling systems by emphasising the use of closed and pressurisable systems to allow a scalable approach that produces a ...
