Projects - Oil and Gas Sakhalin Ice Measurement Program, 2006-2008 Elvary Neftegaz has contracted ASL through Metocean Engineers, to conduct 3 years of measurements at 3 sites for the Sakhalin Ice Measurement Program in the Northern Sakhalin 5 area. The first site deployment was in December 2005, then sites 2 and 3 were in March 2006 from a helicopter through thin sea ice and included 2 Ice Profilers with 2 ADCP Sentinal Workhorses. Each mooring contained one Ice Profiler and one ADCP with tandem ORE Cart releases. This is ASL's first project for Elvary Neftegaz.   Cook Inlet, Alaska ASL has completed a project that provided winter ice draft and ice velocity data in Cook Inlet, Alaska. These data are used to calibrate computer models of ice loads on multi-legged offshore oil platforms and these models are then used for studies of more severe ice environments. Because of high tidal currents (up to 6 knots), ASL designed a low profile bottom frame to incorporate the Ice Profilerä, ADCP, and other instruments. The instruments were deployed at a depth of 29 meters in December 2003 and recovered in the summer of 2004. ASL has provided detailed analyses of the data collected for input to the computer models. Printable Version Real time ADCP for oil rig off Trinidad ASL was contracted to install a real-time ADCP system from an oil rig for a drilling program off Trinidad and Tobago, January - April, 2006.  Current profile data was displayed in real-time on the rig and was also used for current predictions.  Following completion of the program a report has been prepared that included tidal analyses.  Printable Version Metocean Study for Block O, Equatorial Guinea A year-long program of current profile, water level and temperature measurements are being carried out in the vicinity of exploratory offshore drilling in the area northeast of Equatorial Guinea. Meteorological data (winds, air temperature, and humidity) are being measured concurrently from a weather station installed on the drilling platform. The year-long data sets will be analyzed to provide input to developing a production system for this area.  Printable version Innovative Solutions for Offshore Exploration and Production
