A methodology for identification of suitable drilling waste handling systems in the Arctic region
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016)
As the demands to reduce the environmental impact of oil and gas operations increase in the Arctic region, the need to identify suitable waste handling systems become more essential. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for identifying suitable drilling waste handling system, by considering the distinctive operating condition of the Arctic region. The proposed methodology can help the ...
Bioremediation Treatment of Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Arctic Soils: Influencing Parameters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
An expert-based approach to production performance analysis of oil and gas facilities considering time-independent Arctic operating conditions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-03)
The availability and throughput of offshore oil and gas plants operating in the Arctic are
adversely influenced by the harsh environmental conditions. One of the major challenges in
quantifying such effects is lack of adequate life data. The data collected in normal-climate
regions cannot effectively reflect the negative effects of harsh Arctic operating conditions on
the reliability, availability, ...
Dynamic spare parts transportation model for Arctic production facility
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-14)
Timely delivery of the required spare parts plays an important role in meeting the
availability target and reducing the downtime of production facilities. Spare parts logistics is
affected in complex ways while operating in the Arctic, since the area is sparsely populated and
has insufficient infrastructure. It is also greatly affected by the distinctive operational
environment of the region, ...
Road Transportation Challenges in the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
Despite all efforts to mitigate global warming, its rate and magnitude are still rising where transportation is considered to be an important contributor. In the Arctic regions however, unstable weather conditions, strong seasonal variations, and long harsh winters result in additional challenges to transportation in different ways such as those related to environment, human health, safety, and ...
Observed and unobserved heterogeneity in failure data analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-08)
In reality, failure data are often collected under diffract operational conditions (covariates), leading to heterogeneity among the data. Heterogeneity can be classified as observed and unobserved heterogeneity. Un-observed heterogeneity is the effect of unknown, unrecorded, or missing covariates. In most reliability studies, the effect of unobserved covariates is neglected. This may lead to inaccurate ...
Sea-spray measurement tools and technique employed in marine icing field expeditions: A critical literature review and assessment using CFD simulations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-24)
Sea-spray icing resulting from sea spray droplets accreting on exposed surfaces poses a significant safety concern
for vessels and marine structures operating in cold climate regions. One of the key parameters determining the
amount of ice accretion is the quantity of incoming sea spray, which eventually comes in contact with the
structure in the presence of brine film freezing temperature. Hence, ...

Climate Change Impacts on Mining Value Chain: A Systematic Literature Review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-01)
Mining is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change (CC). The consequences of changing weather patterns, such as extreme weather events that can damage equipment, infrastructure, mining facilities, and operation interruption, are the source of the vulnerability. The new demand initiated by governments and international agreements put extra pressure on mining industries to ...
