Project reports

The petroleum industry is becoming increasingly dependent on digital systems, and the companies have ambitious plans to increase the use of digital technology – along the entire value chain.

The project is intended to provide an overview of risk factors, uncertainties and knowledge gaps linked to the structural safety of semi-submersible facilities and ship facilities when used in areas open for petroleum activities in the Barents Sea.

Deficient ignition source control has been a contributory cause of a number of serious incidents in international petroleum activities. This report summarises a knowledge acquisition project that SINTEF conducted on behalf of the PSA on the topic of contr

A study of gas detectors was prepared by asking questions about the functionality of optical gas detectors during a number of serious incidents.

The project is to help develop knowledge of working environment risk for employees on facilities in the High North.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a challenge for many facilities and onshore installations. A report provides an overview of different insulation solutions used in the Norwegian petroleum industry since 1970 and of safety challenges associated with CUI

The project is a continuation of the knowledge development and results from previous work relating to gas leaks and explosion pressure in enclosed areas.

The project acquires knowledge of special challenges associated with shallow reservoirs in the Barents Sea.

The aim is to acquire knowledge of special challenges linked to uncertainty about measurement while drilling (MWD) in the Barents Sea.

The report is a feasibility study to provide a foundation for investigating the effect of coordinating drilling operations in the opened areas of the Barents Sea.
