The objective of PRAI is to develop a hybrid VIV response prediction model combined of physics-based numerical models and data-driven machine learning methods.
Produced water (PW) from the oil and gas industry represents the largest direct discharge of effluent into the marine environment worldwide. Approximately 130 million m3 PW is released on the Norwegian continental shelf annually from offshore...
Solving engineering challenges in global response analysis of subsea pipelines, umbilicals and power cables.
The GASVESSEL project provides a novel efficient and flexible method for transporting Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). It introduces an innovative solution for manufacturing pressure cylinders that are 70% lighter than state-of-the-art alternatives.
SINTEF has been a participant in the Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry (SFI Centre), along with central partners in the petroleum sector.Ongoing for seven years the research program ended on 31.12.2014.
Helicopter manufacturer AgustaWestland has been carrying out model tests in our ship-model tank in order to study emergency landings on water and helicopters’ subsequent seaworthiness. Very few test facilities anywhere in the world perform tests of...
SINTEF has been working for the past several years in research on the manoeuvring characteristics of submarines.
In its quest to meet the growing demand for energy, the offshore industry is moving into ever deeper waters, and resources are being exploited in more and more demanding ocean environments. FPSOs, or Floating Production, Storage and Offloading...
In collaboration with Statoil and TNO - Netherlands, SINTEF has developed and validated a novel methodology for determining the operational limits of free-fall lifeboats.
Much of Norway's production of crude oil is transported by ship. Particularly during loading, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released from the ship's cargo tanks to the atmosphere.
