Record 3 2011-08-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Ships and Boats
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
DEF

A tanker carrying oil from offshore fields to terminals.

CONT

The role of shuttle oil tanker... is to transport crude oil that has been initially treated above the well site. Initial treatment consists of removing contaminants from the crude, thus readying it for transport to onshore terminals. The hulls of these tankers are double-lined to prevent leakage.

CONT

A shuttle tanker is a ship designed for oil transport from an off-shore oil field. It is equipped with off-loading equipment compatible with the oil field in question. This normally consists of a taut hawser arrangement or dynamic positioning to maintain the position relative to the field, an off-loading arrangement of pipes, and redundant safety systems to ensure that the potentially flammable crude oil is handled safely in a harsh environment.

PHR

Crude oil shuttle tanker.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Types de bateaux
  • Transport du pétrole et du gaz naturel
DEF

Navire comprenant des réservoirs dans la coque et servant à transporter du pétrole ou de l’eau en va-et-vient sur de courtes distances.

CONT

Des pétroliers-navettes serviront à l'exportation de ce pétrole vers les marchés de l'est de l'Amérique du Nord, de la côte du Golfe du Mexique, vers d'autres destinations internationales ainsi qu'à une installation de transbordement [...] Selon la distance à parcourir et les volumes de pétrole brut à transporter, on utilisera de un à trois pétroliers. Il s'agira de navires à double coque dont la taille sera choisie en fonction des volumes à transporter.

CONT

[...] les navires-citernes navettes [...] transportent du pétrole brut provenant du champ pétrolifère des Grands Bancs vers le terminal de transbordement de Whiffen Head [...]

CONT

Le pétrole produit est acheminé sur 2 km par tube flexible, jusqu'à une bouée d'amarrage et à un navire citerne-navette.

OBS

Au sens strict des mots, le navire-citerne peut transporter n'importe quel liquide en vrac et le pétrolier est défini comme un navire-citerne transportant du pétrole. Le terme «oil shuttle tanker» correspond donc au français «pétrolier (-)navette» et «shuttle tanker» correspond à «navire citerne navette». En contexte cependant, lorsqu'il est implicite que le «shuttle tanker» transporte du pétrole, il n'y a qu'un pas à franchir pour parler d'un pétrolier.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Technology - Equipment
  • Photoelectricity and Electron Optics
CONT

Production optimization solutions consisting of well-site computer hardware, desktop analysis software, fiber-optic intelligent-well technology used in the oil and gas industry to remotely monitor and optimize downhole conditions and well production.

CONT

eProduction Solutions, Inc. is the world leader in production optimization solutions for flowing wells and all forms of artificial lift. The company provides advanced fiber optic intelligent well technology with well site and desktop intelligence as well as control systems for onshore and offshore production. eP provides hardware and software solutions for comprehensive production operations optimization including real-time monitoring, controlling, designing, and analyzing production oil and gas wells and facilities.

OBS

intelligent well technology: Technology that combines sensors and remote control to detect production problems and solve them without costly well intervention.

OBS

Optimizing reservoir performance with intelligent well technology. ... IWT is a key building block of real time reservoir management. By placing sensors and control valves at the reservoir face, teams of petroleum engineers can monitor reservoir and well performance in real time, analyze data, make decisions and modify the completion without physical intervention, to optimize asset performance.

OBS

... with advancements in material science, electronics, and data acquisition and processing, we have seen the use of sensors in oil well production turn in to what is now being referred to as "smart-well technology." With sensors located downhole (below ground), above ground, in the storage tanks, and even on the pump motors to detect low frequency vibrations that can indicate potential wear, "smart" is exactly what these wells are becoming. ... There are a variety of sensors currently used for downhole monitoring ranging from fiber optic to acoustic to quartz crystal sensors.

OBS

De nouvelles méthodes géophysiques et analytiques seront testées : [...] capteur à fibre optique pour l'enregistrement des déformations dans le forage; contrôle permanent des fluides chimiques dans les puits et diverses sources; réseau permanent d'électrodes dans les puits cimentés pour la surveillance de l'écoulement des fluides [...]

OBS

Les chercheurs d'ISIS utilisent un matériau plus solide et doté d'une durée de vie plus longue que les matériaux conventionnels pour la construction d'infrastructures. À ce matériau, ils ajoutent des réseaux de capteurs à fibres optiques et des faisceaux laser ce qui leur permet de surveiller en tout temps les tensions et les contraintes exercées sur les structures [...] La technologie «intelligente» d'ISIS peut également servir à recouvrir ou à rapiécer les structures de béton existante afin d'améliorer leur rendement et leur durabilité.
