Bücher der Reihe Advances in Underwater Technology, Ocean Science and Offshore Engineering

The concept of using flexible, reelable pipe to transport liquids, gases, and vapours is not a new one.

Falling oil prices and smaller offshore fields, especially in the UK sector of the North Sea, have produced a resurgence of interest in subsea developments. One of the largest offshore construction projects on the UK Continental Shelf in recent years is the cross-channel link where power cables have been laid between the UK and France.

Up to about 30 years' ago diving activity was centred primarily on the naval services, who provided a lead in the development of equipment, techniques and procedures.

Addresses two main areas of offshore activity: Site investigation on assessment; and Applications and foundation engineering. This book illustrates the developments in data acquisition techniques through case histories in the section on Geotechnical Sampling and Testing.

Seismic acquisition data quality is fundamental in achieving this objective as both the data processing methods and interpretation accuracy are subject to the quality of the data obtained.

Papers Presented at Aspect '90, a Conference organized by the Society for Underwater Technology and held on May 30-31, 1990, Aberdeen, Scotland

To maintain quality in research output, providing the necessary new knowledge for our developing industries must be of prime importance to our community.

Subsea Control and Data Acquisition is vital reading for all subsea control system designers, manufacturers and operators, equipment consultants, application engineers, academics in the subsea engineering field, and all subsea engineers.

Deepwater pipelines, long distance pipelines and complex systems transporting hydrocarbons and fluids to and from marginal field subsea wellheads and templates are all being implemented without significant problems.

Proceedings of an international conference [see title] organized by The Society for Underwater Technology and held in London, February 1989. Thirteen papers on topics such as deepwater drilling, well testing and production, subsea valves, seismic profiling, remotely operated coring, deepwater hydroc

Proceedings of an international conference (Subsea International DEGREES89) held in London, UK. Subsea production systems are now accepted by the industry and are indispensable for developing small satellite fields in particular. The second generation emphasis is on extending the horizontal distance

SUBTECH '93 features subjects as varied as contracting strategies through to hearing loss in divers. The latest developments in underwater intervention technology include presentation on remotely operated vehicles, manned submersible operations and a record-breaking simulated deep dive.

The biennial conferences of the Society for Underwater Technology have achieved an excellent reputation for the quality of their presentations, which cover topics of the most acute current interest, as well as those at the forefront of review and development. The 1994 conference on Subsea Control and Data Acquisition formed no exception, since it covers subjects at the cutting edge of modern technology. It is a matter of increasing concern that products are becoming overspecified, resulting in excessive costs and longer development schedules, while not conferring an equivalent benefit in reliability of the finished product. Subsea Control and Data Acquisition is vital reading for all subsea control system designers, manufacturers and operators, equipment consultants, application engineers, academics in the subsea engineering field, and all subsea engineers.

The conference, organized jointly by the International Association of Underwater Engineering Contractors and the Society for Underwater Technology, was held in November 1989. The three sessions cover changing requirements for underwater inspection and maintenance; developments in remotely controlled
