A substantial escape of hydrocarbons occurred on the Ula field in the Norwegian North Sea on 12 September. The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) has decide to investigate this incident. No people were injured and no damage caused to the installation beyond the equipment directly involved. But
A new concept in skid design from Saab Seaeye adds a powerful tooling capability to their technologically advanced Cougar XTi ROV. It means that for Christmas tree installation and other work tasks a small electric ROV can be deployed in the support role rather than a large hydraulic work class vehi
James Fisher and Sons plc group companies Fendercare and Strainstall Marine have received excellent results following work with subsea and offshore development experts Submarine Technology Ltd (STL) to test and validate their new Vessel Motion Monitoring System (VMMS). The VMMS™ was tested on STL’s
In remote and ultra-deep waters, power generation for large field developments is demanding. By centralizing and sharing the power generation between several production units, the new DNV concept can reduce both emissions and costs. Depending on how it is implemented, the cost saving may also be com

A study has been conducted in cooperation between Nord Stream, the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and the Swedish Nature Protection Agency, in order to establish the underwater noise levels in the sea close to the Natura 2000 area at Norra Midsjöbanken, to the south of Gotland. Noise emanatin
This month MBARI researchers are conducting a two-week-long, in-depth oceanographic experiment to track the nutrients that fertilize algal blooms off the coast of Central California. This research is part of MBARI’s ongoing CANON (Controlled, Agile, and Novel Observing Network) initiative, a project

Subsea activity is the very lifeblood of the commercial marine, renewable energy and marine civils sectors. The DiveWork Pavilion and quayside Dive Tank at Seawork offer companies involved in underwater services, products and technologies the opportunity to exhibit in a dedicated area designed to ap
EU-funded, SPC Deep Sea Minerals (DSM) Project recently held a deep-sea minerals training workshop in Nadi, Fiji. According to Thejetnewspaper.com, the workshop addressed the issues associated with deep-sea minerals and mining. Among the attendees were numerous scientists from the United States, Kor
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a new technique for magnetically separating oil and water that could be used to clean up oil spills. They believe that, with their technique, the oil could be recovered for use, offsetting much of the cost of cleanup. The researc
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies deployed a data buoy off the coast of Block Island, Rhode Island, three years ago to gather information on wave action for a Corps study and the scientific instrument has been providing useful information to scientists, mariners and the general pub
