Corrosion detector using an array of planar Cu electrodes is demonstrated. The planar Cu electrodes are patterned from commercially available single-sided printed circuit board (PCB). The ten electrodes exhibit anodic and cathodic characteristics by…
In connection with extensive world-wide development of transporting gas networks the problem of the gas leakage detection on the underwater gas pipes becomes rather actual. The present paper is devoted to the solution of the problem of underwater gas…
As a potential strategic resource in the future, natural gas hydrates has been highly appreciated by governments and scientists all over the world. The Marine Controlled Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) method has become one of the high techniques to…
Jumper tubes are widely used in the field of ocean engineering as a key component of oil and gas transportations. In order to improve the mixing conditions in the offshore pipelines, a blind tee is usually installed upstream of the measuring…
Coastal ports play a pivotal role in ensuring the healthy development of China's national economy and society and the smooth flow of global supply chain. The novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic is impacting the global supply chain system. In this…
At present, there is no unified standard for the relative safe distance between the anchorage outside the harbor and other offshore structures, shoals, reefs, etc., and there is no specific reference conclusion in the existing research results, which…
In the underwater crude oil storage system which adopts oil-water separation method, in order to keep the oil fluid, make the oil storage and transport running smoothly, the oil temperature control becomes a crucial consideration. Measuring…
Direct electrical heating (DEH) has shown to be a very promising method to prevent wax and hydrate formation in subsea pipelines in the North Sea. In this system the heated pipeline is an active conductor in a single-phase AC electric circuit,…
The Northern Tier Pipeline Company proposes to locate a major crude oil transfer facility along the Strait of Juan de Fuca at or west of Port Angeles, Washington. The facility would receive tankers carrying primarily Alaska North Slope crude oil and…
