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 […]

Many of the pipelines either offshore or onshore are nearing the end of their design life. Some of the pipelines show signs of deterioration and ageing as a result of corrosion and fatigue. There are situation where the operators desire to extend the life of an ageing pipeline beyond its life expectancy due to increased […]

The first objective of this internship is testing and validation of recently customised RISKWISE software for subsea pipeline application using a case study. Second objective is to develop a user manual for the software for future reference. Testing and validation of the software would help provide reliability and confidence in the tool usage that will […]

Integrated integrity management is essential for subsea pipeline failure prevention, predictive maintenance and life extension campaign. Without managing integrity adequately, the condition of subsea pipeline would continue to deteriorate until premature failure. Real-time Condition Monitoring (CM) is a sensor-based monitoring technique aimed at enhancing the productivity of pipeline operation. The main intent of condition monitoring […]

Large amounts of crude oil and natural gas are located beneath Canada’s ocean floors. Currently, the offshore oil and gas industry makes a significant contribution to the Canadian economy. Although it is not visible as onshore landslides, numerous underwater landslides occur where huge amount of seabed sediment might displace and could result in tsunami in […]
