One of the forms in service innovation for universities in Taiwan is to develop transnational education such as offshore programs where the existent programs were re-innovated by providing new service processes including improved delivery or distribution methods. This study examined how the universities adopted this form of innovation and examined how they productize their offshore programs, corresponding to the four productization practices: specifying, tangibilizing, systemizing and standardizing, in terms of program design, curriculum design, teaching and learning, assessment, and administration. By these productization practices, students and partner universities can have a clearer picture and better understanding of the programs, and the host universities can cut down the administration cost and achieve better efficiency and cost-benefit. This study can be seen as a pioneering study which applies the service science philosophy to redefine higher education and reformulate the process of the service innovation such as offshore program implementation by the productization practices.

Offshore structures exist in a variety of forms, and they are used for a variety of functions in varied sea depths. These structures are tailored for certain environments and sea depths. Different actions for suitable equipment selection, platform type design, and drilling/production processes are required for the applications of these offshore structures, as given in Part I. This paper is the second part, which outlines various processes, loads, design approaches and project management of offshore platforms. To achieve these, proper planning must be conducted for lifting, transportation, installation, design, fabrication, and commissioning of these offshore platforms. Some historical developments of some offshore structures are presented, and some project planning routines are undertaken in this research. The ultimate goal is to provide a general overview of the many processes of offshore platform design, construction, loadout, transportation, and installation. Some discussions on the design parameters such as water depth and environmental conditions were presented. It also lists various software programs used in engineering designs covering software programs for structural analysis, 3D rendering, computer-aided design (CAD), hydrodynamic design, oceanic flow analysis, offshore structures analysis, mathematical modelling, coding/algorithm development software, and programming software to aid analytical calculations. The review also includes information on cutting-edge offshore platforms and industry advancements. Ultimately, for long-term operations, various types of offshore platforms for specific seawater depths are available.

In 2008, the IRS initiated efforts to curb the use of offshore accounts to evade taxes. This paper uses administrative microdata to examine the impact of enforcement efforts on taxpayers’ reporting of offshore accounts and income. We find that enforcement caused approximately 50,000 individuals to disclose offshore accounts with a combined value of about $100 billion. Most disclosures happened outside offshore voluntary disclosure programs by individuals who never admitted prior noncompliance. Disclosed accounts were concentrated in countries often characterized as tax havens. Enforcement-driven disclosures increased annual reported capital income by $2–$4 billion, corresponding to $0.6–$1.2 billion in additional tax revenue. (JEL H24, H26, K34)

Основные запасы российской нефти расположены на арктическом и дальневосточном шельфе. Добыча шельфовой нефти помимо естественных причин - климатических, природных, слаборазвитой инфраструктуры, с 2014 года и особенно после 2022 года встречается с технологическими вызовами, уходом западных компаний из своих проектов, ограничения доступа к технологиям оборудованию. В качестве реакции российским государством и бизнесом предпринимается комплекс мер по повышению конкурентоспособности шельфовой добычи нефти, включая развитие программ импортозамещения, развитие танкерного и ледокольного флота. Реализация программ развития Арктики, развитие инфраструктуры, привлечение инвесторов, привлечение специалистов, создание кадрового потенциала повышает перспективы повышения конкурентоспособности шельфовой добычи нефти. The main reserves of Russian oil are located on the Arctic and Far Eastern shelves. The production of offshore oil, in addition to natural reasons - climatic, natural, underdeveloped infrastructure, since 2014 and especially after 2022, has been encountering technological challenges, the withdrawal of Western companies from their projects, and limited access to technology and equipment. In response, the Russian government and business are taking a set of measures to increase the competitiveness of offshore oil production, including the development of import substitution programs and the development of a tanker and icebreaker fleet. The implementation of Arctic development programs, infrastructure development, attracting investors, attracting specialists, and creating human resources increases the prospects for increasing the competitiveness of offshore oil production.

The increase in demand for waterfront living has led to the development of large-scale offshore reclamation projects - The Palm Jumeirah, The World etc., rapidly transforming the coastal zone of Dubai. Development of such offshore islands have interfered with the coastal processes causing reorientation of shorelines at several stretches of Dubai coast (Mangor et al 2008). Regular beach nourishment programs to maintain the required minimum beach width for recreational activities was found to be ineffective due to non-availability of beach quality sand and environmental impacts of dredging and sand shifting operations.

Offshore wind energy development is rapidly advancing in United States waters to meet state and federal renewable energy goals. With a diverse suite of endangered large whale species and a multitude of other protected marine species inhabiting these same waters, understanding the potential consequences of construction and operation activities is essential to advancing responsible offshore wind development. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) represents a newer technology that has become one of several methods of choice for monitoring trends in the soundscape, presence of species, mitigating risk, and monitoring potential behavioral and distributional changes resulting from offshore wind activities. Federal and State regulators, the offshore wind industry, and environmental advocates require detailed information on PAM capabilities and techniques needed to promote efficient, consistent, and meaningful data collection efforts on local and regional scales. We provide capabilities and suggested applications of archival and real-time PAM systems, PAM study design considerations, and data management needs. We also provide key considerations for long-term baseline monitoring and vessel strike risk reduction using PAM. These recommendations provide an initial guide for stakeholders seeking to use PAM systems associated with the rapid expansion of offshore wind development in the United States.

Australia’s marine economy is worth over $70 billion a year, of which offshore oil and gas is a big contributor. Operating safely and in an environmentally sustainable way is vital to the long-term success of Australia’s offshore petroleum sector. Making good risk management decisions depends on a sound understanding of the complex marine environments in which they operate. Key emerging challenges include the effects of noise on marine life, decommissioning of offshore infrastructure, and the unprecedented rate of change in natural marine systems. The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) undertakes research that helps industry, regulators, government and the wider community to make informed decisions about the management of Australia’s marine estate. Working closely with industry and government partners, AIMS has established some of the world’s longest running and most comprehensive tropical marine monitoring programs. The regional baseline datasets span the subtropics of Western Australia, the North West and North Marine Regions, through to the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea Marine Region. This unique repository of data and environmental intelligence allows quantification of system changes, modelling of anticipated future trends and impacts of development, and the development and testing of risk mitigation measures. Examples of research specifically tailored to meet the needs of the offshore oil and gas industry include recent projects in noise management, eco-toxicity and machine learning/automation. In each case, AIMS and its science partners worked with industry to develop research programs designed to help manage specific risks, or conduct work more efficiently and safely.

Offshore wind farms represent a significant source of renewable energy, but their operation poses unique health and safety challenges due to the harsh marine environment and remote locations. This review explores the implementation of health and safety standards in offshore wind farms, highlighting key challenges and proposing solutions to mitigate risks. The offshore environment presents numerous hazards to workers, including adverse weather conditions, rough seas, and complex machinery. Ensuring the health and safety of personnel working in such environments requires comprehensive risk assessments, stringent safety protocols, and robust emergency response plans. However, the remote nature of offshore wind farms complicates rescue and evacuation procedures, necessitating specialized training and equipment for personnel. One of the primary challenges in implementing health and safety standards is the dynamic nature of offshore operations, which demand continuous monitoring and adaptation to changing conditions. Furthermore, the integration of multiple stakeholders, including project developers, contractors, and regulatory bodies, requires effective communication and collaboration to ensure compliance with safety regulations. To address these challenges, innovative technologies such as remote monitoring systems and predictive analytics can enhance safety performance by providing real-time data on environmental conditions and equipment status. Additionally, the development of standardized safety protocols and training programs tailored to the offshore wind industry can improve the competence and readiness of personnel in emergency situations. Implementing health and safety standards in offshore wind farms is crucial for safeguarding the well-being of workers and minimizing operational risks. By addressing the unique challenges of the offshore environment and adopting proactive safety measures, the industry can ensure sustainable growth while prioritizing the health and safety of its workforce.

Offshore wind power generation is recognized as an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy source, rapidly advancing with governmental support in many countries such as Denmark, China, Germany, and across Europe due to its high energy stability, potential, and economic benefits. South Korea has set a target of 17.7GW for wind power generation through its Renewable Energy 3020 Implementation Plan, aiming to supply 12GW of offshore wind power by 2030. However, Korea faces slower development compared to overseas counterparts due to various obstacles including lack of community acceptance, low business feasibility, complex approval processes, and insufficient supply chain. This study identifies fundamental reasons behind Korea's sluggish growth in offshore wind power generation and proposes the following solutions through comparison with leading international cases. 1) Strengthening positive communication with residents by clearly articulating the value and benefits of offshore wind power projects to address community acceptance issues. 2) Resolving low business feasibility issues through the establishment of government-led incentive programs and support measures. 3) Streamlining approval processes to mitigate delays and cancellations in project implementation. 4) Expanding domestic market size and enhancing efficient power interconnection to address supply chain deficiencies.

The relationship between strength and fatigue reliability of an offshore platform is an important aspect in the setting of appropriate structural inspection programs, as well as providing valuable information when considering the life extension of ageing offshore structures. This paper uses the example of a braced monopod to examine the interaction between strength and fatigue reliability for shallow-water platforms subjected to wave climates typical of the North West Shelf of Australia. The central role played by the local wave climate in both the strength and fatigue response of the structure is investigated. The probability of fatigue failure at the critical location was found to be approximately three orders of magnitude less than the overall probability of storm overload failure. This inequity between strength and fatigue reliability raises the possibility of redirecting inspection effort toward higher-risk threats such as accidental damage and corrosion. The potential for further optimizing the total life-cycle costs of new offshore structures is also briefly discussed.

The national model of legalization of offshore business operations requires active actions of the state and close cooperation with international regulators to create a common legislative framework and harmonize the tax system, use the international experience of deoffshoring the economy to improve the investment climate and reduce the process of national capital outflow to offshore jurisdictions. Controlling acts as an effective tool for assessment, monitoring, forecasting and regulation of any processes in the field of offshore business activities, as well as it is an actual mechanism for business de-offshorization. The main goal of the article is both to research the existing toolset of controlling measures in the field of deoffshoring of business activities, and to evaluate the international experience and effectiveness of its application and modern conditions of development and transformation of the global business environment. The authors summarized the modern practice of applying controlling deoffshoring measures, identified the main directions of building a compiler regulatory policy, singled out several effective mechanisms of business de-offshoring. The positive experience of using certain tools by the regulatory institutions of the USA, EU countries, Hong Kong, and other countries, as well as the practice of implementing the ATAD, BEPS, FATF, FSB programs is currently useful material for building a national model of anti-offshore regulation.

The offshore environment is a high-risk and demanding workplace exposing crew members to various physical and psychological stressors. Health and safety programs are implemented to prevent accidents and promote well-being among personnel. This study aims to determine the association between vital exhaustion and psychosocial health among offshore workers in the Philippines. Quantitative non-experimental descriptive correlational design was used and standardized questionnaires namely: Maastricht Vital Exhaustion (MVEQ) and Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaires (COPSOQ III) were utilized to gather data from fifty-five respondents (54 male; Mage = 42.69). Majority of them are assigned in the maintenance and marine departments with an average offshore experience of 11.69 years. Offshore workers have low vital exhaustion (VE) levels and good psychosocial health (PH) scores. Highest recorded scores for PH fall under Influence and Development, Outcome Scales and Interpersonal relations and leadership. Lower mean scores in Further Parameters and Demands at work also translate to favourable PH. There was a significant relationship among four PH scales and VE levels of respondents. There was also a significant relationship between VE and the demographic profile of offshore workers in terms of job assignment and work type however there was no significant association between PH and all demographic variables considered in the study. Majority of the participants claimed that environmental conditions are well-designed and safety concerns are managed appropriately in the workplace. The responses from offshore personnel provide a clear picture of their overall health. The resilience and camaraderie among the all-Filipino crew played a major role in keeping their VE levels low and promoting good PH scores.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Over the last three decades organic metamorphism (coalification), as indicated by changes in vitrinite reflectivity, has been regarded as a function of both temperature and heating duration. This temperature- time concept of coalification has been developed into sophisticated computer programs to model the palaeo- geothermal history of sedimentary basins. However, several papers, published over the last six years, have presented evidence to support the view that, for heating times in excess of 0.001- 1 Ma, vitrinite reflectivity constitutes an absolute palaeogeothermometer. This proposition is broadly supported by a comparison between corrected bottom- hole temperature (BHT) and vitrinite reflectivity data from offshore petroleum exploration wells drilled in Tasmanian waters. Most of the corrected BHT/vitrinite reflectivity data pairs plot on, adjacent to or between two of the published vitrinite temperature/reflectance trends. Although these data indicate that some formations are at, or near, maximum palaeotemperature, there is clear evidence to suggest that many samples, in particular those from formations in the deeper well sections, have cooled significantly below maximum palaeotemperature. It appears that present- day geothermal gradients for some of the wells, based on corrected BHT data, are much less than maximum palaeogeothermal gradients inferred from the vitrinite depth/reflectance relationship.

Over the recent years, following the very rapid increase in the construction and installation of offshore structures, there has been a considerable growth of interest in the assessment of the probabilities and consequences of collision and damage of such structures. This is reflected by the very large number of papers published over the last 15 yr and the multitude of conferences and meetings held on the subject. Many research programs have been completed or are in progress at many centers and institutions over the world. Accidental loading and damage are now accepted design parameters recommended for consideration in a number of Codes for the design in offshore structures. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art with respect to the probabilities and consequences of collisions and accidental loading in general, and methods for the assessment of the design of steel offshore structures against damage. Most of the available information in the field of offshore collisions and accidental loading emanates from research and experience related to ship safety. However, in this paper emphasis is placed on research activity and available information concerned with offshore structures, such as platforms, semisubmersibles, etc. There is a considerable amount of information available on methods for evaluating the extent and effects on damage of these structures and in estimating their residual strength in the damaged condition. As this is an area currently of major interest in the offshore industry, the paper presents comprehensive information and some new results relating to all major structural components. The state-of-the-art with regards to methods and principles for design against damage is also reviewed and commented upon. The paper concludes with general recommendations and indications of areas where future research could be most usefully directed.

Contemporaneous seismic data acquisition in the Santos and Campos Basins offshore Brazil have focused on image characterization of deepwater and ultra-deepwater reservoirs and their relationship with hydrocarbons originating from synrift source rocks. Our interpretation has mapped the stratigraphy of postsalt turbidite reservoirs, and, on the presalt lithology, it has uncovered the underlying synrift sequences that embrace oil-bearing source rocks and the prolific, recently discovered, microbialite carbonate reservoirs. The new phase in geophysical data acquisition and offshore drilling that started in 1999 bolstered the Brazilian offshore petroleum production to record levels. The new, massive, nonexclusive, speculative 2D and 3D data acquisition surveys conducted offshore the Brazilian coast far exceed the amount of all existing cumulative vintage data. Deepwater drilling programs probed the interpreted new prospects. As whole, the modern geophysics data libraries offshore Brazil brought in the technology era to seismic interpretation, reservoir characterization, and geosteering operations in deepwater development drilling. Still, regional interpretation mapping of the outer shelf, slope, deepwater and ultra-deepwater provinces of the Santos and Campos Basins indicates plenty of prospective future drilling in the salt locked minibasins of the ultra-deepwater provinces. Salt tectonics shapes the architecture of these basins; hence, postsalt deepwater turbidite plays were readily interpreted from seismic amplitudes of the modern data that also allow for resolution images of the synrift source rocks, salt architecture, migration paths through faulting and salt windows, reservoir characterization, and regional seal mapping. The new techniques of prestack depth migration have enabled uncovering the imaging structure of the synrift that led to characterization of the presalt carbonate reservoirs and discovery of giant accumulations. Future offshore exploration will continue aiming at postsalt deepwater and ultra-deepwater minibasins plus presalt plays under the massive salt walls, still an underexplored frontier.

The advantages of offshore floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) production include reduced environmental footprints and potential reduced costs for remote and marginal field development. Moving a conventional land-based LNG plant offshore, however, does not come without its fair share of challenges. Ensuring operability—and hence availability—is one of those challenges. While offshore natural gas process technology selection is largely dictated by limited deck space and high safety focus, a crucial aspect in the design and operation of any of the equipment onboard an FLNG facility is the motion characteristics of the hull in the metocean environment. In fact, hull motions affect the performance of the LNG storage tanks, cargo offloading systems, module structural connections, and nearly every single piece of topsides equipment. Determining the required performance of the hull, however, involves an iterative process between the design of topsides equipment and the configuration of the hull. On one hand, the hull is optimised to minimise its responses to the operating environment and to best suit any operational limitations of process systems and equipment. On the other hand, the process systems and equipment are modified to perform under greater hull motions. The cryogenic transfer of LNG between an offshore floating production facility and its designated LNG carriers is one of the weakest links in the total chain of offshore floating LNG development. It involves two floating systems, working in close proximity, in the dynamic offshore environment. The operability of this greatly affects the availability for LNG offloading and overall delivery. The purpose of this paper is to review the operability aspects of an FLNG project, particularly those affected by hull motions.

According to the updated Norwegian maritime strategy, its further economic growth will be closely linked with the maritime industry development, which is focused on satisfying the world economy's growing demand for food, energy, and transportation services. Along with supporting the traditional sectors of its maritime industry (offshore hydrocarbon production, fishing, coastal aquaculture, shipping, etc.), Oslo plans to develop some innovative areas of the industry, such as offshore aquaculture, offshore renewable energy and “green” shipping, which are the main research objects of this work. The author presents an analysis of the main innovative projects implemented by Norway in various sectors of its maritime economy. Amid the international community's concern over the global environmental situation, Oslo is actively developing and implementing advanced technological solutions in its maritime industry, which can not only reduce the level of negative impact on the environment, but also significantly improve its economic performance. A key feature of Norway's maritime industry development is the deepening of intersectoral collaboration, which enabled it to implement oil and gas technologies into offshore aquaculture and offshore wind energy, as well as traditional net-pen aquaculture technologies into offshore solar energy projects. Particular attention in the article is paid to the digitalization of Norway's maritime industry, aimed at ensuring automation or, in some projects, complete autonomy of the utilization of different floating and fixed maritime constructions (vessels, offshore fish farms and power plants).Moreover, the author assesses the Norwegian government's efforts in facilitating further maritime industry development, which includes educating specialists in information and communication technologies, expanding international cooperation, implementing public-private partnership programs, searching for new sales markets and revising the state investment system. In conclusion, the author suggests that in the future the global demand for environmentally friendly innovative technologies produced by Norway will increase, thereby providing for new employment opportunities, development of the national maritime industry and, as a result, the country's sustainable economic growth.

Environmental impact from offshore oil and gas exploration and production is likely to arise from five main sources—produced formation water, drilling fluids and cuttiftgs, industrial chemicals used in production activities, accidental oil spills and the physical disruption of the marine environment by coastal and offshore engineering works. The principle task of environmental managers is to evaluate the risk of impact on the marine environment from their company's activities and to formulate and implement company policy and procedures aimed at minimising this risk. Of critical importance is the determination of the extent and scope of the environmental program designed to control and monitor impacts.The development of environmental management programs in the oil and gas industry involves two main processes—ecological risk assessment and formulation of a monitoring program. This review outlines the steps involved in ecological risk assessment with specific reference to the offshore oil and gas industry. Information is presented on the basic principles involved in risk assessment, the main source of environmental impact from offshore oil and gas exploration and production and the different approaches that can be used to predict and monitor impacts. Approaches for improving the cost efficiency of ecotoxicological testing are discussed. Results of recent ecotoxicological studies on a biocide preparation and two corrosion inhibitors used in oil and gas production activities on the North West Shelf are also presented.

AbstractThe extended downturn experienced by the oil and gas industry has forced operators and service companies to look at new ways to operate more efficiently. Reductions in personnel and assets have led to a rethink of how operations are conducted to support operations offshore. A newer concept of resident vehicle operations is changing the way the industry approaches the inspection, maintenance, and repair market. The resulting technology advances to support the enablement of resident vehicle programs are expected to change the planning, staging, and deployment of personnel and equipment to support offshore operations. How companies interact with these advanced remote systems is migrating field planning back toward a centralized command and control feature set. This allows for shared resources to be used for multiple activities, thereby reducing costs and enabling more efficient operations.

Australia has continued its recent run of exploration success by yielding a series of impressive discoveries in 2019, despite a contraction in exploration activity. In 2019, Australian explorers were rewarded with six conventional onshore discoveries and three offshore discoveries, while only drilling 20 exploration wells. The exploration drilling highlights were the discoveries in the Vulcan Sub-basin (Bratwurst and Orchid) and the North Perth Basin (Beharra Springs Deep and West Erregulla). 2019 also saw successful appraisal drilling on the Dorado and Corvus discoveries as well as renewed exploration efforts in the Beetaloo Sub-basin unconventional plays. The exploration farm-in deals of note were Santos farming into Armour’s South Nicholson Basin acreage and Conoco farming into 3D Oil’s Otway Basin acreage. Australia is set for an exciting year of exploration with further drilling planned in the North Perth Basin and other high impact exploration wells on the North West Shelf. In a positive sign for future exploration, 13 new offshore permits were awarded with committed work programs or cash bids totalling AU$223 million. This is the first uptick in offshore permit awards since 2010.

The acquisition of geophysical data, in particular conventional marine seismic, in areas of shallow water (<20 m) has always been challenging in terms of cost, quality and permitting. A heightened sensitivity about the possible environmental impact of conventional marine seismic has made achieving environmental approval of marine seismic activity in water depths up to 60 m challenging in Australia. In this paper, a suggestion is made to re-frame permit work programs around in-permit mobilisations where impact to the exploration assessment is maximised, and environmental disturbance is minimised. This approach will be illustrated through a discussion of (1) recent approved Australian environmental plans and water depth issues and a good practice approach to permitting of shallow water seismic acquisition using the Zenaide 3D and Bethany 3D as examples, and (2) alternatives to conventional marine seismic acquisition, including an articulation of the technical strengths and weaknesses alongside a consideration of alternative approaches from an environmental, work program and regulatory point of view.

In 2016, explorers in Australia were called upon to demonstrate realistic optimism. The year clearly demonstrated that during an industry contraction, such as that seen by the upstream oil and gas industry since the oil price crash of late 2014, near field conventional exploration still produces discoveries. These include Shefu, Muruk, Davis, Outtrim and Spartan. Amungee NW demonstrated unconventional gas flows in the Beetaloo Basin. As usual, new reservoirs were discovered in appraisal programs such as at Roc and Phoenix South. Exploration lows, however, were the general mood with the inevitable unsuccessful wells, decreases in permit awards and associated work programs, the general low level of drilling activity both offshore and onshore, frustrations at approval delays and constraints and the still contracting business environment. This Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia review looks in detail at the trends and highlights for oil and gas exploration both onshore and offshore Australia during 2016; not just outcomes with the drill bit, but also leading industry health indicators such as drilling, seismic data acquisition and permit awards. It also seeks to be insightful and to make conclusions about the condition of oil and gas exploration in Australia, as well as comment on future implications for the industry.

AbstractThis paper assesses the reliability of data reception of the offshore moored Indian meteorological buoys equipped with INSAT telemetry and used for monitoring the Indian seas. Based on 11,952 data transmissions spanning 4.2 buoy-years, the data reception performance of the INSAT-based telemetry system is found to be 98.74%, with a corresponding data “mean time to failure” (MTTF) of 51 h. It is also identified that the moored buoy telemetry hardware conforms to an IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Level 4. The identified reliability results serve as a guideline for offshore system designers using INSAT telemetry. Meteorological data buoys with INSAT telemetry shall provide an opportunity for collecting extensive and cost-effective oceanographic data, which are used for improving the effectiveness of the Indian Ocean monitoring programs and for cost-effective integrity management of critical systems used for tsunami early warnings.

Federal government mapping of the offshore areas of the United States in support of the development of oil and gas resources began in 1954. The first mapping system utilized a network of rectangular blocks defined by State Plane coordinates which was later revised to utilize the Universal Transverse Mercator grid. Creation of offshore boundaries directed by the Submerged Lands Act and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act were mathematically determined using early computer programs that performed the required computations, but required many steps. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has revised these antiquated methods using GIS technology which provide the required accuracy and produce the mapping products needed for leasing of energy resources, including renewable energy projects, on the outer continental shelf.

Globally, 2015 had the lowest addition of new oil reserves in more than 60 years, reflecting both reduced activity and fewer oil opportunities, although significant gas discoveries were made. In Australia, the underlying theme for the year was one of adapting to low oil prices and learning to operate prudently with a lower price outlook. The cautious approach of 2014 persisted, with exploration activity at reduced levels. Offshore seismic recording maintained its recent high activity levels with a total of 45,563 km2 of mainly regional 3D seismic recorded, but onshore seismic recorded was at historically low levels. Nine exploration wells were spudded offshore with limited success (two gas and condensate discoveries at Auriga West–1 in the Browse Basin and Roc–1 in the Roebuck Basin). Onshore, however, the 38 non-CSG exploration wells drilled had a high success rate although discoveries were small. A highlight onshore was Origin Energy reporting encouraging results from the McArthur Basin for its Proterozoic mid-Velkerri Formation shales gas exploration program. Caution also extended to permit activity, where offshore relinquishments exceeded the number of permits granted, and onshore international companies withdrew from their unconventional farmin programs. For permits granted offshore, lower expectations of prospectivity resulted in only one well being committed in the primary term work program. Community pressure continued to play a significant role in the lack of CSG and other exploration drilling in NSW and onshore Victoria.

Being strategic, the Arctic shelf is a region with an extremely low level of exploration. The undiscovered hydrocarbon resources on the Russian Arctic shelf exceed 90%. The long-term development of strategic programs and projects for the development of gas production on the shelf are constrained by insufficient technical accessibility of industrial development, as well as the difficulty of assessing the actual volume of initial potential oil and gas resources. The reproduction of free gas reserves has been assessed, the level of parity between production and growth of explored reserves has been determined. The state of the gas resources of the Arctic shelf was studied taking into account localization in oil and gas regions, which allowed to make a conclusion about the degree of exploration of the resource base and to identify the basis for the gas potential. The factors restraining the development of offshore projects were identified and analyzed. It was determined that offshore projects should be presented to investors with more attractive operational, technological and economic indicators than alternative onshore projects. The lack of tested methods for the development of hydrocarbons at superdeep depths under severe ice conditions does not allow to fully assessing the economic efficiency of offshore gas projects in the Arctic. It is concluded that within the resource base of Arctic offshore fields, it is necessary to allocate the static (probabilistic) potential of hydrocarbon resources of the Arctic region. The need to transform the Arctic foreign policy is identified.

Although the safety performance of the Australian offshore oil and gas industry is best performing in Australia, evidence shows that it performs lower than the oil and gas industries in other parts of the world. In addition, there has been a huge intake of new and inexperienced workers—often from other Australian industry sectors with worse safety performances—particularly in the high-risk offshore construction sector. This industry has also experienced unprecedented growth in recent times. These challenges, combined with a strong commitment from the industry's CEOs to relentlessly pursue continual improvement, provided a compelling case for change. Everyone, from the frontline to the boardroom, plays a critical role in improving safety performance. A range of CEO-safety leadership programs, including the Common Safety Training Program (CSTP) targeted at new entrants to the oil and gas industry, address safety performance. Supervisors are major leaders in workplaces; they are often selected based on technical skills and experience, not always on their people and leadership skills. Before becoming supervisors, many do not receive any related training and/or development, particularly in the offshore construction sector where high turnover and constant change are typical. The solution was seen to be a standard approach to supervisor competence, commonly recognised by all industry players. The Safe Supervisors Competence Program (SSCP) was launched in early March 2011. SSCP is a new industry initiative focused on safety leadership. The program provides supervisors with the skills and behaviours to ensure the safety of individuals and workplace teams and the ability to influence safe behaviours. This extended abstract addresses the SSCP: The problems that promoted its development. How the industry views it as a key solution to those problems. Its philosophy and approach to learning Its differences compared with other programs. Visual testimonials and footage of its participants. Its future and why it is now with APPEA.

Offshore pipelines transporting hydrocarbon fluids have to be operated with great care to avoid problems related to flow assurance. Of these possible problems, gas hydrate is dreaded as it poses the greatest risk of plugging offshore pipelines and other production systems. As the search for oil and natural gas goes into deeper and colder offshore fields, the strategies for gas hydrate mitigation are evolving to the management of hydrate risks rather than costly complete prevention. CSIRO has been developing technologies that will facilitate the production of Australian deepwater gas reserves. One of its research programs is a recently commissioned investigation into the dynamic behaviour of gas hydrates in gas pipelines using a pilot-scale 1 inch and 40 m long flow loop. This work will provide experimental results conducted in the flow loop, designed to investigate the hydrate formation characteristics in steady state and transient flow. For a given hydrodynamic condition in steady state flow, the formation and subsequent agglomeration and deposition of hydrate particles appear to occur more severely as the subcooling condition is increasing. Transient flow during a shut-in and restart operation represents a more complex scenario for hydrate formation. Although hydrates develop as a thin layer on the surface of water during the shut-in period, most of the water is quickly converted to hydrate upon restart, forming hydrate laden slurry that is transported through the pipeline by the gas flow. These results could provide valuable insights into the present operation of offshore gas pipelines.

Petroleum exploration expenditure in 2023 increased modestly over that of 2022, but remains well below expenditure highs of a decade ago which were dominated by offshore activity. Exploration is dominant in onshore state jurisdictions and has been since 2019, and will continue to be with no Federal offshore petroleum exploration acreage release rounds or exploration permit awards in 2023. Despite the modest increase in exploration expenditure there were 38 exploration wells drilled in 2023, an increase from the 26 wells drilled in 2022. Three of these 2023 wells were located offshore, targeting prospective resources in the vicinity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) project upstream gas fields. Thirty-four conventional onshore exploration wells were drilled in 2023 compared to 18 in 2022, a significant increase. The Cooper–Eromanga Basin was the focus of onshore exploration drilling with 21 exploration wells, compared to 13 in 2022, which yielded six discoveries. The onshore Northern Perth Basin continues to be an exploration hot spot with five wells drilled in 2023, compared to four in 2022. The Permian Kingia Sandstone exploration play continues to deliver exploration success, with discoveries at North Erregulla Deep-1, Trigg Northwest-1, South Erregulla-3 and Tarantula Deep-1. Five exploration permits were awarded in onshore Western Australia and two in Queensland. These permits were awarded with modest exploration work programs. The interest in carbon capture and storage projects and assessment acreage continues with a Federal offshore greenhouse gas (GHG) release round in 2023 and 26 onshore state jurisdiction GHG assessment permits awarded or nominated preferred tender status.

Tax is one of the major source of Indonesia state revenue to develop the country but the realization of tax revenues has not reached the target. One of the efforts made by the government in increasing tax revenues through tax amnesty programs. For example, Taxpayer A (individual tax payer) follows tax amnesty because there are still unreported assets that are found inside and outside the country by redemption payment. The benefits of following tax annesty programs are to mitigate tax risk by obtaining a remission of taxes, could eliminate tax penalties, and not being subject to criminal sanctions in the taxation. Taxpayers A (individual tax payer) has the obligation to declare of their offshore assets periodically for three years since the Statement Letter on tax amnesty issued.

Environmentally safe management of hydrocarbon exploration and production activities is becoming increasingly important, particularly in sensitive marine areas. LeProvost Environmental Consultants have been working closely with Hadson Energy Limited, Western Mining Corporation Ltd and West Australian Petroleum Pty Ltd to produce environmental impact assessments, environmental management plans and monitoring programs for oilfields recently developed on the North West Shelf. Many of the well sites are located in areas with sensitive ecological habitats, including coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangroves and prawn spawning and fishing grounds. Consequently, operators in these areas have been required to produce comprehensive Environmental Management Plans and Oil Spill Contingency Plans, to gain development and operating approvals from the Western Australian Government.Formulation of these plans begins with baseline surveys of the biological, physical and social characteristics of the study area. Hydrodynamic modelling of the metocean conditions produces oil spill prediction envelopes to highlight the areas that may potentially be affected by an oil spill, if one should occur. Site-specific oil spill response procedures are then designed to cater for the sensitive marine habitats of the area, using the resources that are available in the region to deal with an oil spill.Results to date from the Marine Biological Monitoring Programs for three oilfields have supported predictions that no significant adverse impacts on the environment would result from the development and operation of the oilfields.

Towing the ultra large ships without power is one of the difficult and high-risk navigation operations in the Yangtze River and coastal waters, where the ship flow is large and navigation environment is complex. For towing operations, the environmental, hydrological and meteorological factors should be taken into consideration. Firstly, making detailed towing programs is essential. The towing programs include the towing routes choice, the arrangement of tugboats and ropes. Then the towing experiment on the ultra-deep drilling platform Sevan Driller are carried out, and the security measures and urgent arrangements in the special environment are analyzed in detail. Through the towing work of the ultra large cylindrical offshore drilling platform with unpowered devices, experience and guidance could be provided for the same types of ships in the future.

This study determines the energy usage pattern for Penghu, which is an island in the Taiwan Strait, for which electricity is the major energy source. There is an increase in electricity consumption as the number of inhabitants and tourists increases. Water supply from desalination plants represents another major electricity demand. To reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, subsidy programs are used to encourage the use of LED lighting and energy-efficient appliances (air conditioners and refrigerators), but not for common appliances, such as chest freezers. Abundant solar radiation in summer and the northeast monsoon in autumn/winter make Penghu an ideal location to take advantage of solar energy and wind power. An undersea cable between Penghu and Taiwan is now available and can be used to stabilize the isolated grid system in Penghu. The target for a low-carbon island can be achieved by installing PV systems and onshore and offshore wind turbines to fulfill the energy demand for the tourism industry.

The ocean resources have been rapidly depleted in the recent decade, and the complementary role of aquaculture to food security has become more critical than ever before. Water quality is one of the key factors in determining the success of aquaculture and real-time water quality monitoring is an important process for aquaculture. This paper proposes a low-cost and easy-to-build artificial intelligence (AI) buoy system that autonomously measures the related water quality data and instantly forwards them via wireless channels to the shore server. Furthermore, the data provide aquaculture staff with real-time water quality information and also assists server-side AI programs in implementing machine learning techniques to further provide short-term water quality predictions. In particular, we aim to provide a low-cost design by combining simple electronic devices and server-side AI programs for the proposed buoy system to measure water velocity. As a result, the cost for the practical implementation is approximately USD 2015 only to facilitate the proposed AI buoy system to measure the real-time data of dissolved oxygen, salinity, water temperature, and velocity. In addition, the AI buoy system also offers short-term estimations of water temperature and velocity, with mean square errors of 0.021 °C and 0.92 cm/s, respectively. Furthermore, we replaced the use of expensive current meters with a flow sensor tube of only USD 100 to measure water velocity.

This paper describes a variety of programs specifically designed for the determination of sea ice and iceberg loads on Arctic offshore and nearshore structures. As any ice load is a function of the interaction between ice feature and structure, the design of arctic structures is very much an interactive process. Many other factors determining the overall loads and local pressures are functions jointly of ice feature and structural characteristics. For example, the ice strain rate which is a primary determinant of ice strength and failure behaviour may be determined from ice velocity and structure size.The paper details the development of a number of programs directed at the evaluation of quasi-static ice loads, dynamic ice loads, and corresponding local pressures between ice and structure. Examples are provided of the use of the various programs, including the data required and the type of outputs resulting.As a number of the programs incorporate quite extensive theoretical developments or, in one case, a large number of discrete interactions, full description of each program is beyond the scope of this paper. The reader is directed to the listed references for full developments of the various programs and algorithms. Key words: sea ice, iceberg, global ice load, local ice pressure, finite element, ice/structure interaction, probabilistic analysis, ice failure mode.
