• Decision-Making Support for Reeled Pipeline Installation Using a Machine Learning Based Method 

      Døskeland, Øystein Husevåg; Gao, Zhen; Novoseltsev, Yury; Holguin, Nicolas Fredhall (Chapter, 2023)
      Installation of subsea pipelines used for transportation of hydrocarbons, water, or CO2, is carried out by ship-type installation vessels, which are highly sensitive to wave conditions. The prediction of installation loads ...
    • Testing and Modelling of a Wax Control System for Cold Flow Transport of Waxy Oil 

      Novoseltsev, Yury (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:294, Doctoral thesis, 2022)
      There are no economical ways to tie back subsea waxy oil fields with distances to shore more than 50 km without treating the fluid on a platform or FPSO. For more considerable distances, solutions like heating could be too ...
    • Wax Deposition as a Function of Flow Regimes 

      Døble, Kristian (Master thesis, 2018)
      As petroleum fluids flow in subsea pipelines, the fluids are cooled by the surrounding water. Many crude oils contain substantial amounts of wax molecules, and if the temperature of the fluids drops below the Wax Appearance ...
