Abstract: A method of redatuming geophysical data, wherein there is provided multi-component geophysical data, and the method includes obtaining at least one focussing function and/or at least one Green's function from the multi-component geophysical data.

Abstract: A process for generating power using a gas turbine, comprising the steps of: (i) vaporising and pre-heating liquid ammonia to produce pre-heated ammonia gas; (ii) introducing the pre-heated ammonia gas into an ammonia-cracking device suitable for converting ammonia gas into a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen; (iii) converting the pre-heated ammonia gas into a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen in the device; (iv) cooling the mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen to give a cooled hydrogen and nitrogen mixture; (v) introducing the cooled hydrogen and nitrogen mixture into a gas turbine; and (vi) combusting the cooled hydrogen and nitrogen mixture in the gas turbine to generate power.

Abstract: A method of installing a subsea pipeline having a direct tie-in to a subsea structure includes landing an end of a pipeline onto a pipeline landing frame, the pipeline landing frame being on a surface of a subsea structure, the pipeline landing frame providing a location for landing the end of the pipeline before connection to a connection point of the subsea structure; subsequently lowering the pipeline end; and connecting the pipeline end to a connection point of the subsea structure. A pipeline landing frame for implementing the method is also described.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of at least one ARN acid or salt thereof comprising: (I) allowing at least one ARN acid salt to form during the production of crude oil in the presence of water; (II) removing at least 5 wt % of the formed at least one ARN acid salt, e.g. from the oil water interface; and optionally (III) converting said salt into an acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the removal of polyvalent cations, in particular divalent cations, from mono ethylene glycol. Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is used to prevent hydrate formation in pipelines transporting gas, condensate and water. It may also contribute to pipeline corrosion control.
