The Subsea industry needs:
- Research with a long term view
- The best innovative solutions
- Step change impact on performance
NSRI Flagship Themes
Reliability & Integrity
AutonomousSystems
Near SeabedCivil Engineering & Fluid Dynamics
Near SurfaceFloating Systems& Hydrodynamics
The Field of the Future?
But different choices for different locations
Deeper water
Further offshore
No direct human interface (?)
Broadband control & communications
Locally generated power
Passive/active & dynamically re-configurable
Security
Safety and Environmental protection
Installation
Production Control
Chemical Inhibition
Separation & Re-injection
Monitoring & Inspection
Isolation & Intervention
