New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.Apatite fission‐track and (U‐Th)/He data indicate rapid exhumation of northern Victoria Land at 40–30 Ma, correlating with opening of Adare Trough at 43–28 Ma. Exhumation was greatest close to the Ross Sea, consistent with other regions of the Transantarctic Mountains.

Risk-based Reliability Assessment of Subsea Control module for Offshore Oil and Gas production [PDF]
, 2014 Offshore oil and gas exploitation is principally conducted using dry or wet tree systems, otherwise called the subsea Xmas tree system. Due to the shift to deeper waters, subsea production system (SPS) has come to be a preferred technology with ...

Salt-Resistant Lubricant for Deep Water Drilling Fluids
Zuanjingye yu wanjingyeIn deepwater drilling, drilling fluids are affected by seawater, highly mineralized brine, and polyvalent metal ions. Conventional lubricants such as mineral oils, vegetable oils, and fatty acids often exhibit poor dispersion and incompatibility in high ...

State of the Practice − Sub‐Aqueous In‐Situ Solidification for Contaminated Sediment Remediation
Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 4, Autumn 2026.ABSTRACT In‐situ solidification (ISS) has emerged as a cost‐effective and versatile technology for sediment remediation, particularly for addressing contamination at greater sediment depths. This paper evaluates ISS in the context of conventional sediment remediation approaches, highlighting its advantages, design and implementation considerations, and

Real – Time Geomechanics: Applications to Deepwater Drilling
, 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 ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the NE Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was the largest accidental spill globally. During and after the spill, oil was incorporated into marine snow (marine‐oil‐snow or MOS) and sedimented to the seafloor, accounting for ∼21% of the oil released.
