In addition to these great achievements, the company has reached another milestone. The VSTEP team has been acknowledged by DNV GL with the ISO 9001:2015 certification! “A great compliment to the team, because this shows how much we grew as a company over the years!” – complimented VSTEP’s CEO, Henk van den Berg. “Every day I see the tremendous effort our people put into the Distribution : daily to 38.150+ active addresses 10 -12-2017 Page 2 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2017 – 346 development of our products and to realize that we get better every day. Of course, some days are better than others, but this is a part of innovating and being in the forefront of maritime simulation. We prove by working hard, together in teams and with a smile this can be definitely done. Karin Reichardt, Internal Operations Manager said : Developments are coherent for VSTEP, but the ISO 90001:2015 Certificate is proof that we can develop as a company and maintain the VSTEP quality.” The certification is a great deal in VSTEP’s focus on being the leader in maritime simulation and virtual training. These procedures are essential for the company to sustain the quality it aims for in the products and the solution it wants to be for the customers of VSTEP. The Damen shipyards Group Vietnam built JAWAR UM QASR commenced yard trials in Halong Bay Photo: A.Nonymous DNV GL presents GTT and TECHNOLOG with GASA statement for exoskeleton LNG tanks At the Marintec China trade fair yesterday, classification society DNV GL presented GTT, together with its partner TECHNOLOG, a General Approval for Ship Application (GASA) statement for the retrofit of very large container vessels (VLCVs) with exoskeleton membrane LNG tankLNG membrane tanks will generally offer more efficient space utilisation for cargo storage and as fuel tanks. Season's Greetings from AMSOL The exoskeleton concept offered by GTT, and developed in partnership with TECHNOLOG, consists of a structure that can be prebuilt on the dock and then installed as a complete unit in the hull of the vessel. This greatly reduces the con struction time of the ship at the yard and eliminates the necessity to go into dry dock. DNV GL presented GTT and TECHNOLOG with a GASA statement for the retrofit of very large container vessels (VLCVs) with exoskeleton membrane LNG tanks. From left to right: Helmut Radebold, TECHNOLOG, Geoffroy Beutter, GTT, Henning Pewe, DNV GL – Maritime, Gerd-Michael Würsig, DNV GL – Maritime, Hans- Jürgen Voigt, TECHNOLOG. The solution has been developed for VLCVs with a capacity of 14,000 to 18,000 TEU and offers a Distribution : daily to 38.150+ active addresses 10 -12-2017 Page 3 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2017 – 346 new possibility for owners to more easily refit existing vessels with an LNG fuel system. Switching to using LNG as a ship fuel will mean a vessel will comply with incoming restrictions on the use of high sulphurs fuels “The GASA approval issued by DNV GL is very important for us, as it shows that the new solution can be ordered and retrofitted today,” says Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT. “It will allow interested shipowners to get ahead of the IMO’s 2020 Global Sulphur Cap regulations, giving customers and charterers greater certainty as we head to this significant regulatory change. By bringing this solution to market, GTT reaffirms its position as an innovative provider for the industry, continually working to optimize our customer’s operational performance.” “This advanced technology is a milestone for cost-effective LNG retrofit and newbuilding solutions for larger vessels. With introduction of LNG as ship fuel there are immediate benefits to ship owners related to a reduced carbon dioxide footprint (EEDI) as well as all other harmful exhaust emissions,” said Hans-Jürgen Voigt, Shareholder and Managing Director of TECHNOLOG. “We congratulate GTT and TECHNOLOG on achieving this milestone,” says Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO DNV GL – Maritime. “This innovative new solution offers forward thinking shipowners another option when they are considering LNG as a ship fuel and will help to continue the development of this important technology. We look forward to building on this excellent cooperation with GTT and TECHNOLOG in the future.” A General Approval for Ship Application (GASA) is a full approval of the technology under consideration, according to the DNV GL Rules for Classification, which examines a typical installation of the technology in a vessel.

KG another shareholder. In the future, the already very extensive service portfolio for the construction and operation of offshore wind farms of the WINDEA Group will be supplemented by the terminals and logistics services of the Buss Group. Distribution : daily to 38.150+ active addresses 10 -12-2017 Page 4 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2017 – 346 The WINDEA shareholders Bernhard Schulte Offshore, EMS Maritime Offshore and SSC Wind EMEA, who founded WINDEA in May 2011 as a joint service platform for their offshore wind activities, recently reached an agreement with Buss Offshore Solutions on the details of the transaction and signed the relevant agreements. From Gibraltar FRANCIS FERRO wishes all readers MERRY CHRISTMAS and a prosperous 2018 "We are pleased about Buss Offshore Solutions as a further shareholder," says WINDEA CEO Caspar Spreter von Kreudenstein and adds: "Buss does not only operate the important offshore terminals in Eemshaven and Sassnitz, but furthermore brings an extensive knowledge, relevant experience and an excellent reputation in project management, terminal logistics and component consolidation. Such is an ideal complement to our existing service portfolio. In future, we will be able to offer our customers comprehensive solutions for the construction and maintenance of their projects, including the space required and the expertise for large component logistics and warehousing. "Throughout the past six years, WINDEA Offshore developed into an established brand within the offshore wind industry andelaborated in close cooperation with the shareholdersa comprehensive reference list. As a core business, WINDEA offers marine services with its own vessel fleet, other maritime and nautical services, wind technology, port and logistics services, and integrated medical care in offshore wind farms.Buss Offshore Solutions already managed several major projects in offshore wind logistics and has proven to be a reliable service provider in the field of port project logistics with a focus on heavy, demanding cargo. Buss Offshore Solutions offers tailor-made logistics solutions both on its own terminals as well as on terminals of third-party companies, if required. In search of strong partners for the future challenges in the offshore segment, we have found the right companies for long-term cooperation with WINDEA and its shareholders," advisesBuss Offshore Solutions Managing Director Martin Schulz, adding: "By joining WINDEA, we expect an enormous sales power but furthermore a gain in the area of comprehensive product development. In the past WINDEA has shown that the specificcombination of different disciplines in a synergy center results in asignificant added value to both shareholders and customers. In future, we would liketo addour part as much as benefit ourselves at the same time."In view of the newly acquired partner, WINDEA will concentrate even more on the targeted development and implementation of holistic installation and maintenance concepts for German and international offshore wind projects. Already today there are points of contact in Eemshaven between the future WINDEA partners. SSC Wind collaborated closely with Buss Offshore Solutions on the Orange Blue Terminal (OBT) in Eemshaven during the construction of the offshore wind project “Nordsee One”. EMS Maritime Offshore operates its own offshore wind service base in the immediate vicinity of the OBT. In addition to the warehouse and office complex built for Siemens in 2016, a comparable building is currently being built for the offshore wind farm “Merkur Offshore”, whereBuss Offshore Solutions will again be responsible for the base port logistics during the installation phase. Bernhard Schulte Offshore operates the Service Operation Vessel WINDEA LaCour, which is used as a walk-to-work vessel in the "Gemini" offshore wind farm and is supplied by EMS Maritime Offshore as a port logistics service provider in the base port of Eemshaven.

  • Does Oil Emplacement Stop Diagenesis and Quartz Cementation in Deeply Buried Sandstone Reservoirs
    Does oil emplacement stop diagenesis and quartz cementation in deeply buried sandstone reservoirs Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Mohammed Bukar January 2013 i Abstract Reservoir quality relates to the presence of porosity and the connectivity of the pores of the reservoir rock which controls permeability. Deeply buried sandstones in sedimentary basins lose their reservoir quality due to compaction and cementation. Quartz cement is the most volumetrically important porosity occluding cement in sandstones buried to depths greater than about 3000m. Precipitation of quartz cement requires a source of silica, transportation of the silica in solution from source to the point of precipitation and clean grain surfaces to grow on. For these processes to take place water is required to dissolve the mineral grains that provide the source of silica, to provide aqueous fluid pathway from the site of mineral dissolution to the site of precipitation and water is required at the site of mineral precipitation to enable mineral growth. In oil or gas fields, displacing the aqueous pore fluid by petroleum disrupts the pathway between the reactants and points of precipitation. If the oil saturation becomes high; (i) the residual (irreducible) water becomes isolated within a continuous hydrocarbon phase or (ii) the aqueous pathway becomes tortuous and diffusion becomes slow or (iii) grain surfaces become coated by oil if the sandstone is oil wet. However, over the years a controversy has developed as to whether oil emplacement into reservoir stops quartz cementation and preserves porosity at depth.
