Pluspetrol uses an "offshore inland" method for developing the field, as if the forest were an ocean.
Because the country's landfill on the main island has been exhausted and currently there is only one offshore landfill, new methods to manage and dispose of waste have to be devised.
In addition to the technical issues concerning the construction of offshore platforms, the method of transmitting efficiently large-scale offshore wind power to onshore power grids is a vital subject.
We showed that, by comparing offshore waveforms, our method can select appropriate tsunami scenarios whose maximum coastal tsunami height distributions are close to those of the pseudo-observation scenario.
For offshore structures, one simplified method is the environmental contour method (ECM), which uses the short-term extreme probability distribution of important environmental conditions selected on the contour surface with the relevant return periods.
In recent years, some operating companies started to seriously consider EOR methods for offshore fields (Bondor et al. 2005).
We discuss the methods for offshore cultivation, harvesting, and conversion of macroalgae biomass into liquid transportation biofuels.
In offshore areas, some investigation methods are impossible or often not employed, so that the conventional exploration model involved entails mainly extensive use of seismic methods, before drilling exploration wells.
However, in general, their commercial application is still incipient, since they generally require acquisition equipment that renders their surveys relatively expensive in relation to seismic methods, especially offshore, where seismic acquisition is relatively competitive.
So-called roadless oil extraction, in which oil companies use offshore exploration and production methods and leave less of an imprint on the area being drilled, is a viable alternative, argue Swing and others associated with Scientists Concerned for Yasuni, a network of independent researchers that first came together in 2004 to stop a proposed road project inside the park.
