Development of a Decision Support to Aid Iceberg Management Operations

摘要

Icebergs present a significant design challenge for oil and gas operations on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Icebergs present a risk to surface piercing structures, such as production platforms or moored offshore drilling units, as well as subsea infrastructure, such as pipelines and wellheads. The use of iceberg management (iceberg towing, in particular) significantly reduces the risk of iceberg impacts with offshore structures.
