As they are the sole conduit for the hydrocarbons their stability and integrity are of critical economic and environmental importance. More than 80 per cent of Australia’s gas resources exist in deep, remote, offshore areas and being able to realise the full potential of these remote resources relies on the development of economically viable transportation solutions. Technical solutions for Australia’s offshore pipelines must maintain structural integrity and continuous supply of products across hundreds of kilometres of seabed. Such technology is also vital to Australia achieving the vision of “platform free fields”, a CSIRO Wealth from Oceans Flagship initiative. Platform free fields research investigates ways to replace traditional oil and gas platforms with subsea technologies for production of gas resources which may lie as far as 300 km offshore, at a depth greater than 1 km.

  • Method of Determining
    Hydrotransport 19 Conference, Sept 24-26, 2014, Denver, USA Options for fixed mechanical sand bypassing at river entrances N.T. Cowper1, L. Nankervis2 and A.D. Thomas3 Slurry Systems Pty Limited, Sydney, Australia 1, [email protected] 2, [email protected] 3 [email protected] ABSTRACT Littoral drift of sand along coastlines can result in sand bars forming off ocean entrances causing navigational problems. Conventional management of these sand bars involves regular dredging. Two alternative fixed sand bypassing technologies are considered. The world’s first large scale fixed bypass system at Nerang, Queensland, Australia, is described. Since 1986 it has bypassed around 17 million m3 of sand. The system consists of 10 jet pumps mounted along an offshore jetty. An alternative option, not requiring a jetty, is to use a Submarine Sand Shifter (SSS) buried beneath the sand. The development, pilot plant testing, and operational experience of the Sand Shifter is described. 1. INTRODUCTION Littoral drift is a natural process due to sand being suspended by the energy dissipated in breaking waves. The resulting sand movement is predominantly towards the beach shore. However, when waves strike the beach at an oblique angle there is a shore parallel component of sand movement, or littoral drift. The quantity of littoral drift sand varies depending on wave climate. Depending on the prevailing wave direction, sand bars may build up across river entrances, inhibiting navigation. The conventional solution involves regular dredging of the entrance. A fixed sand bypassing system can provide a more economical alternative. Fixed sand bypassing involves a system to intercept the littoral drift sand before it reaches the entrance and pump it ashore to an on-shore pump station.

  • Hydrodynamic Forces on Subsea Pipes Due to Orbital Wave Effects
    Hydrodynamic Forces on Subsea Pipes due to Orbital Wave Effects Lisa King Jeremy Leggoe1, Liang Cheng2 1School of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering 2School of Civil and Resource Engineering CEED Client: Woodside Energy Ltd Abstract Pipeline stability design relies on an accurate prediction of the hydrodynamic forces induced by wave and current motion. The motion of wind generated waves is generally orbital, and the orbit paths flatten to an ellipsoid with depth. This leads to the assumption in deepwater that the vertical components of the wave motion tend to zero near the seabed. Due to this simplification wave motion is often modelled as rectilinear for the purposes of analysing on-bottom pipeline stability. This simplification predicts that the magnitudes of the hydrodynamic forces are equal on the forward and reverse half wave cycle. In computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling results have shown the drag force exerted on an on-bottom pipeline was 7% higher than expected on the forward half wave cycle, and 5% lower on the reverse half-wave cycle when waves were modelled as orbital rather than rectilinear. This paper describes CFD modelling to be conducted to investigate this phenomenon and verify the validity of this result. 1. Introduction Pipeline stability is an integral part of the offshore oil and gas industry and in particular is a major challenge for pipeline operators in the Australian North West Shelf (NWS). Due to the severity of the environmental conditions in the NWS, pipeline stabilisation can be a significant project cost, contributing up to 30% of the capital expenditure (Zeitoun et al.

  • Shedding Damage Detection of Metal Underwater Pipeline External Anticorrosive Coating by Ultrasonic Imaging Based on HOG + SVM
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Shedding Damage Detection of Metal Underwater Pipeline External Anticorrosive Coating by Ultrasonic Imaging Based on HOG + SVM Xiaobin Hong, Liuwei Huang , Shifeng Gong and Guoquan Xiao * School of Mechanical & Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510641, China; [email protected] (X.H.); [email protected] (L.H.); [email protected] (S.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Underwater pipelines are the channels for oil transportation in the sea. In the course of pipeline operation, leakage accidents occur from time to time for natural and man-made reasons which result in economic losses and environmental pollution. To avoid economic losses and environ- mental pollution, damage detection of underwater pipelines must be carried out. In this paper, based on the histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) and support vector machine (SVM), a non-contact ultrasonic imaging method is proposed to detect the shedding damage of the metal underwater pipeline external anti-corrosion layer. Firstly, the principle of acoustic scattering characteristics for de- tecting the metal underwater pipelines is introduced. Following this, a HOG+SVM image-extracting algorithm is used to extract the pipeline area from the underwater ultrasonic image. According to the difference of mean gray value in the horizontal direction of the pipeline project area, the shedding Citation: Hong, X.; Huang, L.; Gong, damage parts are identified. Subsequently, taking the metal underwater pipelines with three layers S.; Xiao, G. Shedding Damage of polyethylene outer anti-corrosive coatings as the detection object, an Autonomous Surface Vehicle Detection of Metal Underwater (ASV) for underwater pipelines defect detection is developed to verify the detection effect of the Pipeline External Anticorrosive method.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ASIAN STUDIES INCIDENTS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA: EXPLORING THE CHINESE PERSPECTIVE OF THE DISPUTES BENJAMIN BLACK SPRING 2018 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in International Affairs and Asian Studies with honors in Asian Studies Reviewed and approved* by the following: Gretchen Casper Associate Professor of Political Science and Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Jessamyn Abel Assistant Professor of Asian Studies and History Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i Abstract Incidents in the South China Sea have increased in frequency over the past decade, leading to an increased need for an informed policy response. Despite the prevalence of the South China Sea disputes in policymaking and scholarly discourse, empirical work to understand the driving forces behind China's actions in the region has not been undertaken with a Chinese perspective, leaving policymakers without crucial information and an incomplete understanding of Chinese actions in the region. International Maritime Law is understood to be the framework for peace in the region, but this paper suggests that the Law of the Sea has ceased to be effective because China has ceased to abide by it. Furthermore, alternative avenues to peace and stability must include the Chinese perspective and a better understanding of the reasons for increased Chinese action and incidents in the region. This paper seeks to analyze the driving forces behind China’s actions in two models. First, through an original coding of two Chinese-language newspapers from 1970-2015 to test for the presence of nationalistic terms.
