Geophysical, geological and geotechnical data play a vital role in deepwater/ultra-deepwater site characterizations for subsea structures sitting on/below the seabed. From the engineering perspective, considering the risk of subsea development and the capital investment, the integration of the above three sets of data are paramount, especially during the planning phase of the project for...
Successful installation and operation of complex systems in the deep ocean requires a comprehensive approach to managing risk throughout the entire project. Equipment installed in the deep ocean is exposed to extreme pressure, a highly corrosive environment, and can only be installed and maintained with advanced robotic tools and specialized vessels. From the concept stage through prototype...
