Offshore wind power projects are increasingly attractive in many regions even though
capacity is impacted by intermittency as it is with other renewable power sources. We …

Model Uncertainties in Foundation Design is unique in the compilation of the largest and the
most diverse load test databases to date, covering many foundation types (shallow …

This paper presents the development of a rule-based energy management control strategy
suitable for isolated diesel power-plants equipped with a battery energy storage system for …

Deep drilling operations are typically needed when producing deep wells for hydrocarbon
exploitation or geothermal energy applications. Since a notable portion of existing deep …

We examine the largest cost component in offshore development projects, rig rates. High rig
rates in recent years have restricted development of new oil and gas fields, as well as IOR …

We analyze rig rate formation of floaters operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. We
first develop a simple bargaining model for rig markets. Then we examine empirically the …

How efficiently do markets reallocate capital in booms and busts? Using a novel dataset of
offshore drilling contracts I examine the role of matching in shaping industry reallocation. Oil …

This paper presents a single-step automatic tuning procedure and an estimator of key
parameters of the drill-string system used in deep drilling applications. It is aimed at precise …

This paper presents the design and detailed experimental verification of oil drilling
automation systems, which included draw-works hoist-based Weight-on-Bit/Rate-of …

Sažetak This paper presents a control system design methodology for the drill-string rotary
drive and draw-works hoist system aimed at mature drilling rig retrofitting. The rotary drive is …
