  • Patent number: 8960305
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a subsea pipeline system connecting one or more wells to a floating production system, wherein the pipeline system is at least partially flexible, the method comprises installing a continuous optical fiber distributed sensor as part of the pipeline system, the sensor capable of providing a distributed measurement of temperature, vibration, pressure or strain, or any combination thereof; using the sensor to obtain a distributed measurement of temperature, vibration, pressure and/or strain along at least part of the pipeline system indexed to a length thereof; and using the distributed measurement to predict the actual condition of the fluid, the pipeline system and/or the adjacent sea water using a model.

  • Publication number: 20110071875
    Abstract: A system and method for executing an oilfield operation at a wellsite is provided. The system comprises a project execution unit, an employee assessment unit and a matrix execution unit. The project execution unit is configured to quantify a plurality of project parameters for executed projects, wherein a first project parameter is a success rate of the executed projects, and a second project parameter is a required project team member competency for the executed projects. The employee assessment unit is configured to assess a level of expertise obtained by each of the employees for a plurality of skill sets. The matrix execution unit is configured to compare to the required project team member competency to the level of expertise of each of the employees in each of the plurality of skill sets in order to select a group of employees to be used to complete the project team.
