Welcome

Welcome from the Conference Chairs

Several years ago when we decided to propose Brazil as the venue for OMAE 2012, offshore oil production was high and steady due to both Petrobras´ entrepreneurship and the keen technical and scientific support from Brazilian academia. Brazil had just become self sufficient, balancing energy production with energy consumption. International recognition of economic growth and improvements in social development was positive. The OOAE Division and various committees and individuals who review and approve the destination for the OMAE conference recognized these achievements and awarded OMAE 2012 to Brazil!

What no one knew then, but we all applaud now, is the discovery of the Pre-Salt fields in 2009. A new era has begun that may recognize Brazil not only as a high ranking oil producer, but also as an innovative player in deepwater technology to deal with a very challenging environment as far as depth and distance from the coast are concerned. The technological challenges and opportunities posed by the Pre-Salt fields are attracting international companies, who are employing Brazilian engineers and other professionals. This ripple effect is positively impacting the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, which is responding to the demand for qualified personnel, especially since several of the international companies are investing in R&D facilities.

There is an old song in Brazil that ironically states “Yes, we have bananas”. We may need to update that song’s lyrics to “Yes, we have offshore technology!” We are proud to affirm that due to continuous efforts

over more than 30 years, Brazil is pursuing excellence in sophisticated technologies to produce oil and gas in the deepest productive regions of the ocean.

Progressively new procedures and high tech equipment have been incorporated into the offshore oil and gas industry to guarantee reliable and safe operations. One of the roles of OMAE 2012 is to promote these advances and help them to reach those in the industry who need them.

We acknowledge the outstanding support from our sponsors, in particular Petrobras, the Super Platinum Sponsor, who organized the “Workshop on Pre-Salt Technologies” in conjunction with COPPE/UFRJ

It has been eleven years since OMAE was last in Rio. We are happy to welcome all the attendees of OMAE 2012 to the “Marvelous City”. We sincerely believe you will enjoy the fantastic scenery and friendly people in Rio de Janeiro.

Welcome

Welcome from the Technical Program Chair

As the OMAE 2012 Technical Program Chair, I am honored and proud of the technical program for the 31st International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering. We are presenting more than 700 reviewed papers that reflect the state-of-the-art in ocean, offshore and arctic engineering. Rio de Janeiro is the backdrop to exciting presentations and networking opportunities between researchers, engineers, managers, technicians and students from scientific and industrial communities from around the world who are exchanging ideas and experiences whilst promoting technological progress and its application in industry.

I am pleased that we were able to re-initiate the Petroleum Technology Symposium within OMAE, because this completion makes OMAE the international technical conference in ocean, offshore and arctic engineering. In total, we have twelve symposia for you to attend:1. Offshore Technology2. Structures, Safety and Reliability3. Materials Technology4. Pipeline and Riser Technology5. Ocean Space Utilization6. Ocean Engineering7. Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology8. CFD and VIV9. Ocean Renewable Energy10. Offshore Geotechnics11. Petroleum Technology Symposium12. The Ronald W. Yeung Honoring Symposium on

Offshore and Ship HydrodynamicsI am also very proud that we have the largest

special symposium, ever, honoring the contributions of Professor Ronald W. Yeung to offshore research. The Ronald W. Yeung Honoring Symposium on Offshore and Ship Hydrodynamics with more than 70 papers illustrates the outstanding contribution of Professor Yeung to offshore research.

Besides the 12 symposia, we have a special workshop dealing with “Pre-Salt Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities”.

On Sunday, July 1, we are offering two ASME certified short courses for:•Marine Renewable Energy, and•Subsea Equipment.

The Outreach for Engineers Specialty Forum continues to focus on drawing students, who are the next generation, into the fold.

I would like to thank the Local Organizing Committee, led by Antonio Fernandes and Segen F. Estefen, both from COPPE/UFRJ, Brazil, for the outstanding work they have done in organizing such a wonderful conference. As well, I would like to thank the Symposium Coordinators and Session Chairs for their excellent work. But most of all I would like to thank and congratulate all the authors and reviewers of OMAE 2012 for their valuable contributions and efforts to make OMAE 2012 a big success and a memorable event.

Enjoy the conference and have some fun!—Walter L. Kuehnlein

Technical Program Chair, OMAE 2012Managing Director, SEA2ICE LTD. & CO. KG

Welcome


Welcome to the 31st International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2012) and the vibrant and beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. The entire Extended Executive Committee (EEC) of the Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OOAE) Division welcomes you to OMAE 2012 and thanks all authors and participants for helping make the OMAE Conference be recognized as the primary international forum in this area.

Members of industry, academia and government agencies from over 40 countries meet at the OMAE Conference to discuss new state-of-the–art technologies and share fundamental knowledge related to the ocean environment. The goal of the OOAE Division always remains the development of novel concepts, better understanding of the environmental forces, and safer operation of structures in the often harsh ocean environment. This year’s conference has 13 technical symposia: nine of our long-established regular symposia plus our two newest symposiums on Offshore Geotechnics and Petroleum Technology, and a special symposium honoring our esteemed colleague, Ronald W. Yeung. This honorary symposium on Offshore and Ship Hydrodynamics has attracted over 70 special papers.

As we all know, Brazil has experienced tremendous growth over the past several years. I am certain that those of you who visited OMAE 2001 can attain to this fact. Much of this growth is due to the remarkable hydrocarbon reserves found in the deep waters surrounding Brazil. It is especially relevant that OMAE 2012 will feature the “Workshop on Pre-Salt Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities” as the thirteenth symposium. It is sure to attract tremendous interest.

The “Outreach for Engineers Program” continues to grow in popularity with a record number of well qualified applicants this year. It is vital that we continue to attract students and young professionals to our OMAE Conference.

On behalf of the entire EEC of the OOAE Division of ASME, I would like to thank all the sponsors for their financial support. It is important to acknowledge all the dedicated volunteers who worked very hard to make this Conference a success. Special thanks to our Conference Chairs, Dr. Antonio C. Fernandes and Prof. Segen F. Estefen, both from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, for all their work in making OMAE 2012 a success. Special thanks as well to the Technical Program Chair, Dr. Walter L. Kuehnlein of SEA2ICE Ltd., for overseeing an excellent program. Thank you to the all the Local Organizing Committee members , the International Advisory Committee, Symposium Coordinators, Session Organizers, authors, reviewers, and the staff of Sea to Sky Meeting Management, C & M Congresses and Meetings, JAX Tours, and the International Petroleum Technology Institute. The hard work and dedication of everyone makes the conference a success.

It is with this in mind that I once again thank the organizers and welcome you all to the OMAE 2012 Conference. Have an enjoyable and rewarding experience in beautiful Rio.

Professor Ronald W. Yeung received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1973 and taught at MIT’s Ocean Engineering Department from 1973 to 1982. Prior to his doctoral studies, he staffed at Litton Ship Systems, Culver City, California and was involved in the design of several classes of naval vessels. He joined the Faculty of UC Berkeley in 1982 and has been a Distinguished Professor of Hydromechanics and Ocean Engineering since 1996. An elected Fellow of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) in 1998, he has contributed, in influential ways, to a broad spectrum of research topics in marine hydromechanics. Among these are: computational methods for free-surface flows, ship-to-shore interaction modeling, tank-wall effects, bow-waves breaking, vortex-induced vibration, finned-body fluid dynamics, two-layer stratified flow, multi-hull wave resistance and ocean renewable energy. Foremost, he is known for his works in free-surface flow modeling and in viscosity effects on floating-body hydrodynamics. A selected list of his publications is available under ‘Ronald W. Yeung’ in Wikipedia. Among the major awards he has received are: three Best-Paper Awards from ASME-OMAE Conferences from 1991 to 2009; Fulbright-Hays Senior Scholar of the Australian-American Education Foundation in 1981; Distinguished U.S. Scientist of the von Humboldt Foundation of Germany in 1988 and 1998; and the prestigious 2002-2003 Georg Weinblum Lecturership sponsored by the Schiffbaugesellschaft of Germany and U.S. Naval Studies Board. In 2004, he was awarded the SNAME Kenneth Davidson Gold

Medal for Outstanding Scientific Accomplishments in Ship Research. He received “The International Researcher Award” of the Brazilian Society of Marine Engineers (SOBENA) in 2008 and holds an Honorary Professorship at Harbin Engineering University, China. On April 16, 2012, Professor Yeung was appointed the Inaugural Faculty Holder of the American Bureau of Shipping Endowed Chair in Ocean Engineering at UC Berkeley. A dedicated educator and researcher, he has mentored over 100 graduate students and visiting scholars; many of them are actively involved in the ocean field worldwide. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation for his dedication, contribution and service in ocean engineering over 38 years and the years to come.

The Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) has recently published a special report on the role of Renewable Energies in future climate change mitigation (SRREN). The findings from the ocean energy chapter of that report will be presented outlining the potential deployment, the current state of development and the future economic activity around this new technological industry. There are a number of Government initiatives under way to support the development of this nascent industry and these will be described for Europe, North America, South America and Asia. The particular strategy that has been developed in Ireland will be described as a case study as will the steps that the Government is taking to implement these technology developments. This will be contrasted with some other development options being initiated by other European countries. A number of open sea test sites are being developed in Europe and the characteristics of selected examples will be given. Information about the characteristics of these sites has been assembled by the IEA-OES and the results will be presented. In order for the device developers to progress on the path towards commercial implementation a sequence of development at different technology readiness levels is required. These will be outlined and some of the research questions that need to be addressed will also be presented.

Anthony Lewis is a Professor of Energy Engineering at University College Cork, and is the Academic Director of the Hydraulics and Maritime Research Centre. Prof. Lewis has special competence in ocean energy development, maritime civil engineering and field measurements in the marine environment. These are demonstrated by various positions he has held. For example, he has overall academic responsibility for the Programmes in Energy Engineering in the School of Engineering at University College, Cork, Ireland. He was Coordinating Lead Author (CLA) for the Ocean Energy Chapter (6) in Special Report on Renewable Energy for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2011), and has been an Alternate Delegate for Ireland to the Ocean Energy Implementing Agreement under the auspices of the International Energy Agency (IEA), since 2003. In addition, he is a Founding Board Member of the European Ocean Energy Association, and was a Member of the External Advisory Group to European Commission for Energy Research in FP5 programme (2003-2005). He is also currently the Principal Investigator in the SFI Charles Parsons Research Programme – Ocean Energy Systems, due to be completed in 2015.

The development of heavy oil fields has gained momentum in the recent years boosted by favorable market conditions. Statoil’s international growth strategy is based on the company’s technological edge and one of its pillars is heavy oil. The company holds strategic positions in Venezuela, Canada and Brazil, with interests in the Orinoco belt, Oil Sands and offshore Campos Basin, where Statoil is the operator of the Peregrino field in partnership with Sinochem. Peregrino is the largest Statoil international operatorship and delivered first oil in April 2011. The technical and technological challenges associated with the development of these fields should not be underestimated. Low reservoir pressure and GOR, high viscosity and water production, among others, impact well design, flow assurance and the processing plant and are some of the issues that need to be addressed when designing and operating the system.

André Leite started his career in 1983 as a naval architect / marine engineer in Denmark, working in structural design and construction until 1986 after which he took several positions in Brazilian shipping companies and shipyards. In 1989, Mr. Leite joined Petrobras, working in Corporate E&P. He worked in several positions, including Project Coordinator for P-51, P-52 and P-56 during conceptual and execution phases. In 2006, Mr. Leite moved to Hydro which later merged with Statoil. At Statoil, he is responsible for new developments from early phase to first oil, bringing them through four phases: feasibility, concept selection, definition and execution, at which point the development is handed over to operations. In addition, Mr. Leite is responsible for Partner Operated Licenses, technology management and industrial development. Mr. Leite graduated as a Naval Architect / Marine Engineer and has a Masters degree in Ocean Engineering, both from Escola Politécnica USP, Brazil.
