Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2017 The offshore wind industry is building and planning new wind farms further offshore due to increasing demand on sustainable energy production and already occupied prime resource locations closer to shore. Costs of operation and maintenance, transport and

Offshore Drilling and Energy Conservation: The Relative Impact on Gas Prices [PDF]
, 2008 This issue brief compares projected savings from drilling in presently restricted offshore zones and savings if the nation had continued adjusting fuel efficiency standards at 1980-1985 rates.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Excessive water production in mature oil fields necessitates robust shut‐off treatments, yet conventional polymer gels often fail under high‐temperature and high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to enhance gel thermal stability and mechanical strength by incorporating selenium‐doped Ag/AgO–ZnO nanocomposites synthesized via a novel green ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Failure Rates of Offshore Wind Transmission Systems
Energies, 2019 In the offshore wind industry, failures are often costlier than those experienced onshore. Through examination of the literature, it is clear that failures occurring in offshore transmission systems are not well documented.

The Governance of the Black Holes of the World Economy: Shadow Banking and Offshore Finance [PDF]
, 2013 This paper focuses on regulatory challenges posed by the two interconnected structures of the global financial system – the economy of tax havens (or offshore financial centres), and the shadow banking system. The financial crisis of 2007-09 has revealed

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Probabilistic evaluation of dynamic positioning operability with a Quasi-Monte Carlo approach
BrodogradnjaDuring the design phase of an offshore unit, estimating the station-keeping capabilities of the dynamic positioning (DP) system is mandatory. This means, in conventional offshore applications, to determine the maximum sustainable wind speed as a function

Modelling sea breeze climatologies and interactions on coasts in the southern North Sea: Implications for offshore wind energy [PDF]
, 2015 Current understanding of the behaviour of sea breezes in the offshore environment is limited but rapidly requires improvement due, not least, to the expansion of the offshore wind energy industry.
