Researching Subsea Equipment for Lab Testing and Plume Migration

The project will research software and models of plume migration for subsea oil and

gas productions. Plume migration is important because when a leak takes place

subsea it needs to set off a sensor, and to do that for point sensors, the product must

come near the sensor. Knowing how oil will move under water will help the placement

of sensors and improve the overall leak detection of the system for any given

environment. Another aspect of the project is to develop a lab model for testing leak

detection technologies. Instead of testing products in the ocean, or as a software

simulation, a lab could be setup to model the near conditions of the ocean. This will

allow the best testing of subsea leak technologies without deploying them in the field.
