The current exploration, development, and mining technologies are already perfect. However, the offshore oil and gas facilities in the world's major offshore oil-producing countries face serious aging challenges and many are overdue for service. Moreover, many oil and gas platforms are in urgent need of decommissioning. The cost of decommissioning is one of the most concerning issues for energy companies and governments. This study compared two different approaches to cost assessment models built by using United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) decommissioned platforms: a model constructed using a popular top-down approach, and one created by a novel bottom-up approach. Both models use the completed decommissioning projects in the UKCS area as research and verification resources. According to the results, although the cost assessment model constructed using the bottom-up method is challenging, it has higher accuracy and more robust versatility. The top-down approach model is more suitable for governments and energy companies to make rough assessments of the market and projects. The bottom-up approach model is more suitable for a more detailed cost assessment of the decommissioning of individual facilities and can be integrated with results from other assessment models (such as risk and impact assessment models) to obtain more accurate cost assessment results. Both approaches have great room for improvement at present, and further integration of disciplines may be the key to breakthroughs in this field.","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to identify the parameters of the series, the paper employs the Levenberg-Marquardt method of nonlinear regression. A finite element model is established to verify the accuracy of the parameter identification method. Subsequently, the paper establishes a two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element model of the sealing system in the end fitting, while taking into account fluid pressure inside the pipeline using a pressure penetration method. The impact of stress relaxation on the sealing performance is then discussed. Finally, the paper alters the coefficients of the Prony series to explore their significance on the sealing performance of the sealing system.","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, traditional static risk assessment approaches are not able to take the dynamic nature of these new risks into account. This article proposes a dynamic quantitative risk assessment (DQRA) methodology based on the Bayesian network (BN) to develop better understanding of dynamic risks of LNG bunkering SIMOPs. The methodology is demonstrated and evaluated through a truck-to-ship LNG bunkering case study. The results and discussion of the case study validate the utility of the proposed methodology and demonstrate that BNs are efficient in performing the probability calculations and are flexible in conducting causal diagnosis.

The calculation of this factor requires robust models to predict the residual tensile strength of GFRP bars. Therefore, three robust metaheuristic algorithms, namely particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), and support vector machine (SVM), were deployed in this study for achieving the best hyperparameters in the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in order to obtain more accurate prediction model. Various optimized models were developed to predict the tensile strength retention (TSR) of degraded GFRP rebars in typical alkaline environments (e.g., seawater sea sand concrete (SWSSC) environment in this study). The study also proposed more reliable model to predict the TSR of GFRP bars exposed to alkaline environmental conditions under accelerating laboratory aging. A total number of 715 experimental laboratory samples were collected in a form of extensive database to be trained. K-fold cross-validation was used to assess the reliability of the developed models by dividing the dataset into five equal folds. In order to analyze the efficiency of the metaheuristic algorithms, multiple statistical tests were performed. It was concluded that the ANFIS-SVM-based model is robust and accurate in predicting the TSR of conditioned GFRP bars. In the meantime, the ANFIS-PSO model also yielded reasonable results concerning the prediction of the tensile strength of GFRP bars in alkaline concrete environment. The sensitivity analysis revealed GFRP bar size, volume fraction of fibers, and pH of solution were the most influential parameters of TSR.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48369029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
