    Marine hydrological information plays a significant role in development and exploration of marine resources. Temperature, salinity and depth are fundamental elements of marine hydrology. Monitoring of marine temperature, salinity and depth data plays an important role in the development and utilization of marine resources. The conductivity temperature depth profiler (CTD) is the main instrument for observing seawater temperature and salinity profiles. By using CTD sensors, parameters such as temperature and conductivity of seawater at different depths can be measured. In recent years, flexible electronic sensors have demonstrated great potential for application due to their excellent stretchability and easy attachment, which not only achieve the sensing performance of traditional rigid sensors to a certain extent, but also compensate for the shortcomings of traditional sensors such as large volume and weight. This review introduces the research progress of flexible ocean CTD sensors in recent years, mainly including the working mechanism and classification, common materials, manufacturing processes of flexible sensors, and analyzes the structure, performance, and application platform of existing flexible ocean CTD sensors. Finally, the development of flexible ocean CTD sensors is prospected.

    In recent years, the global offshore wind power has developed rapidly. As nearshore resources become increasingly scarce, offshore wind power has gradually moved to the deeper sea. To accommodate the dynamic characteristics of floating wind turbines, floating platforms must be supported by dynamic cables. This is a comprehensive cable of transmitting electricity and control signals, with constantly changing position and force status, which can withstand the combined effect of wind, wave, current and other natural environment, to ensure the effective transmission of power and monitoring signals. Compared with foreign industries, Chinas dynamic cable industry started later, with the harsh working conditions and the lack of relevant technology. All these factors restrict the progress of the dynamic cable industry. This paper will provide a detailed introduction to the basic principles, current development status, key technologies, and challenges faced by floating wind turbine dynamic cables, summarizing the latest industry information and technology to support the development of Chinas dynamic cable industry.

    Adaptability to various sea conditions is vital to unmanned surface vessels (USVs). This paper aims to reveal influence of sea conditions on tracking performance. The USV controlled by PID tuned for the baseline sea condition is studied. A three degree of freedom dynamic model is built, and a new evaluation index of control energy consumption accounting for propeller propulsion and steering mechanism operation is designed other than the conventional tracking accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate the variation trend of the tracking accuracy and control energy consumption with sea conditions under the typical straight line navigation case. The performance is significantly affected under high sea conditions, with root mean square error increasing 188 times up to 158.207m and control energy consumption increasing 3 times up to 46.916 kWh. The quantification of the tracking accuracy and control energy consumption with sea conditions provides reference for the design and control of USVs.

    Submerged floating tunnels(SFTs) are a new type of transportation structure used to cross deep water. To ensure the dynamic stability of SFTs under wave and current loading, an appropriate mooring system is required. This research focuses on submerged floating tunnels with anchor cables and investigates the impact of different anchor cable layouts on the dynamic response of SFTs. Utilizing OrcaFlex software, finite element models are established to analyze the stiffness of mooring systems under both vertical and inclined layouts. The variations in tunnel displacement, acceleration, and anchor cable tension under regular waves and uniform currents are examined. The results show that the inclined anchor cable layout with an inclination angle of 45° and an installation angle of 45° can effectively suppress the vertical and lateral motion response of the tunnel, ensuring structural stability and preventing anchor cable fatigue damage. Furthermore, this layout is applicable to SFTs of different lengths.

    Autonomous underwater robots (AUVs) can perform tasks such as resource exploration and target search in deep sea areas. At offshore sites, we often face the need to quickly respond to mission deployment and conduct path planning for AUV search and mapping missions. This paper proposes an AUV multi-target search method that clusters first and then searches in the AUV multi-suspect target point search task. It performs K-means clustering on multiple target points in the large-scale sea area to be measured to form multiple target points to be tested. The measurement area reduces the search for non-target areas and ensures higher search efficiency when the AUV carries limited energy; the comb path scheme is implemented in multiple areas to be measured to form an AUV search path in multiple areas. An AUV multi-target clustering search software based on Tkinter was developed to implement the method proposed in this article through visual interactive tools, solving the problems of time-consuming and error-prone manual planning and improving the efficiency of AUV deployment. Finally, We compare the length of AUV paths between different cluster numbers to determine the feasibility and application value of this method.

    Underwater storage facilities, leveraging oil-water displacement technology, serve as independent storage units that provide diversified media storage at sea and are essential for the development and utilization of marine energy. This paper analyzes five potential application scenarios for future underwater storage facilities, including the development of marginal oil fields in shallow waters, underwater energy storage technology, underwater methanol and ammonia storage technology, underwater carbon dioxide storage technology, and the storage and injection technology of chemical reagents on the seabed. In marginal oil fields, a combined approach using an integrated processing platform, underwater storage facilities, and shuttle tankers can enhance cost adaptability and the flexibility of storage capacity customization. Underwater energy storage technology (underwater compressed air energy storage and underwater hydrogen storage) is provided for offshore wind platforms to ensure the stability of power transmission and reduce the limitations of storage space on the platform. Offshore wind power can also be converted into methanol and ammonia, by adopting underwater storage solutions. The storage units on the platform can be canceled, thereby reducing overall investment. By installing LCO2 storage facilities underwater instead of storing it on the injection platform, the efficiency of LCO2 storage and its environmental adaptability can be improved. The use of seabed chemical reagent storage and injection technology significantly enhances the safety, cost-effectiveness, and injection accuracy of the chemical reagent system.

    With the advancement of environmental monitoring technologies, accurately identifying anomalies in data has become a crucial challenge. This study introduces a method combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Random Forest models for predicting and reconstructing environmental feature data, thereby enabling effective anomaly monitoring. Initially, the LSTM model is used to forecast time series data for environmental features such as wind speed and direction. Subsequently, these forecasts are used as inputs to apply a Random Forest model for predicting axial force. The research indicates that by reconstructing features, the accuracy of axial force predictions can be significantly enhanced compared to direct anomaly detection methods. The R2 values, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) for data with reconstructed features surpass those for data with original features. Particularly, the improvement from an R2 value of 0.921 to 0.956 underscores a significant enhancement in the model's data fitting capability.

    As a key equipment in underwater pressurization technology, the underwater helical axial flow mixing pump is widely used in the development of offshore oil and gas fields. How to further enhance its pressurization performance has attracted the attention of researchers. This study adopts a method combining orthogonal experimental design and numerical simulation to optimize 5 key structural parameters of the helical axial flow pump impeller, aiming to improve the pressurization performance of the mixing pump. Using Fluent software and the standard SST k-ω turbulence model, numerical simulations are conducted on a singlestage compression unit of a helical axial flow pump with an impeller shaft diameter of 350 mm. The influence of five different structural parameters of the impeller on the pressurization performance is studied, and the optimal parameter combination is determined. The results show that under the operating conditions of a flow rate of 500 m3/h and a speed of 4500 r/min, the pressurization performance is optimal for a compression unit with three blades, a blade wrap angle of 130°, a blade thickness of 6 mm, and inlet and outlet angles of 6°, achieving 2.02 MPa, which is a 22% improvement in pressurization compared to the initial structure. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out on the optimized threestage mixing pump impeller under different operating conditions to predict the pressurization effect. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the design and optimization of underwater helical axial flow mixing pumps.

    Experimental Study on Platform Vortex Induced Motion Considering Wave Current Coupling Effect
    TANG Qianyu
    Ocean Engineering Equipment and Technology    2024, 11 (4): 75-84.   DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2024.04.12

    In order to further investigate the vortex motion response of the platform under wave-current coupling, this study conducted vortex motion tests of the platform under wave-current coupling for a deepwater semi-submersible production, storage and offloading platform in the Lingshui 17-2 gas field in the northern part of the South China Sea, which is planned to be developed by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). The objective of the study is to characterize and quantify the vortex-excited motion response of the semi-submersible platform under different flow velocities, flow angles, and the presence or absence of wave action, in order to provide design inputs for the fatigue analysis of risers and moorings. We fabricated a 1∶60 scaled-down model of the semi-submersible platform, simulated purely homogeneous flow and wave-coupled environmental conditions through a towed pool, and tested the static stiffness, intrinsic period, and six-degree-of-freedom kinematic response of the platform. The results show that the vortex-excited motions of the semi-submersible platform are mainly characterized by transverse and longitudinal motions in the horizontal plane and first sway, with the transverse motion response being the most significant. Under the effect of uniform flow, the amplitude of transverse motion response at 45° flow angle is larger than that at 0° flow angle, and it reaches the maximum in the interval of folding speed from 5 to 7. The additional damping device effectively reduces the kinematic response, especially at 45° flow angle. The presence of waves has a weakening effect on the vortex-excited motion amplitude, which is especially significant at folding velocities close to 7. In addition, the experiments also observed that the longitudinal and first-swing motions exhibited different characteristics from those under uniform flow. The significance of this study is to provide important engineering data and theoretical support for the design of semi-submersible platforms in deep-sea oil and gas development, which can help to optimize the design of riser and mooring systems and ensure the safe and stable operation of the platforms in complex marine environments.

    In the process of subsea manifold hoisting and lowering, when the ship-cable-body multi-body coupling system moves greatly due to strong nonlinear environmental load, the cables of the hoisting system will change rapidly from slack to tensioning, resulting in the instantaneous surge of mooring impact tension, which may endanger the safe operation of the system. This article simulates the launching process of the underwater data center through fully coupled dynamic time-domain simulation. It considers the motion of ships and the effects of wind, waves, currents, and wave slamming, especially the impact of waves on the underwater data center when it first enters the water. Sensitivity analysis is conducted on the key parameters of wave slamming, accurately predicting the acceleration and six degrees of freedom of the data center when it enters the water, ensuring the smooth and safe entry of the underwater data center into the water. The research results provide certain theoretical and technical references for the design and offshore installation of underwater data centers in the future.

    Chemicals such as methanol and ethylene glycol can prevent the formation of hydrates, waxing and scaling within subsea production systems, playing a crucial role in flow assurance. Subsea Chemical Injection Metering Valve (CIMV) is used to control and measure the injected chemicals into subsea production systems. It aids in achieving precise ondemand injection as well as cost reduction and efficiency increase. The structure and measurement principle of CIMV differ significantly from conventional flow meters, hence rigorous calibration is required to ensure the measurement accuracy meeting the design requirements. Based on the product characteristics of CIMV, this paper introduces the design and construction of the first domestic CIMV calibration loop, and discusses how to use this loop to study and build a selfdeveloped CIMV measurement algorithm model. The measurement accuracy of CIMV is verified on this loop, with results as good as ±3% F.S. (Full Scale). This paper provides a valuable reference for the localization of CIMV.

    Local scour at piles poses a significant threat to the safety of offshore wind power and sea-crossing bridges. Addressing the issue of reducing scour depth is an urgent and pivotal challenge that requires immediate attention. The collar is a disk-like structure that reduces the scour depth by weakening the hydrodynamics around the pile. In this study, numerical experiments on the local scour at composite piles with different collars were conducted. The influence of collar layout position, thickness, width, and attack angle on local flow field, bed shear stress, and scour protection effect were discussed. The results show that the position, width, and attack angle of the collar exert a significant influence on local scour, whereas the thickness of the collar has a negligible impact on its effectiveness in scour protection. The larger the collar width and the negative value of the attack angle, the better the scour protection effect. When the collar is set at the edge of the pile cap foundation, with a width ranging from 1~1.5 times the height of the pile cap foundation and an attack angle of -45°, its scour protection effect on the composite pile is the best. The results can provide references for engineering design of pile foundation scour protection.

    The detection of offshore wind power pile foundation by image sonar is an important means for the healthy operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms. In response to the significant issues of coarseness and discreteness in imaging caused by the sparsity of 3D imaging sonar data, image processing techniques such as SOR filtering and Poisson surface reconstruction are applied to optimize the 3D imaging of Echo Scope sonar. The method involves detecting and removing outliers based on local area definition, statistical information calculation, and threshold selection. By dividing the spatial grid and solving the Poisson equation to extract isosurfaces, the method reconstructs surfaces from discrete data, achieving refined monitoring of underwater pile foundations. Experimental results show that this technique can enhance the density and smoothness of sonar imaging of underwater pile foundations. The integration of elevation information with enhanced display technology differentiates visual ambiguities and significantly improves imaging results.

    Shallow gas geological disasters are very easy to induce shallow drilling accidents, which seriously affect the safety of deep water drilling operations. For some shallow gas reservoirs, active blowout of shallow gas through drilling pilot holes can provide guarantee for deep water economic and efficient drilling. Based on the multiphase flow surface tracking technology and turbulence model, a finite element numerical model of deep-water shallow gas active blowout is constructed. The model considers the influence of the size of the blowout channel and the physical properties of the shallow gas reservoir on the blowout process, which can more accurately simulate the whole process of shallow gas blowout. The simulation results show that the initial gas reservoir pressure increases from 20.2MPa to 20.8MPa, and the shallow gas blowout efficiency increases from 75.4% to 84.9%. The size of the guide hole is increased from 812″ to 1214″, and the release degree of shallow gas is increased from 80.9% to 90.7%. The simulation results are in good agreement with the actual observation data, and the error of the calculated value of the maximum escape height is 2.5%. The research results provide theoretical guidance for similar shallow gas active blowout projects in deep water drilling operations in the future.

    In order to deal with the vibration and stress of key components caused by ship movement when installing wind turbines on double-ship float supports, this paper proposes a rigid-flexible coupling multi-body dynamics analysis method for load transfer during wind turbine installation. A rigid-flexible coupled multi-body dynamic model for the twinbarge float-over wind turbine installation was developed, considering the elastic deformation of key components and its impact on the overall system. Dynamic analysis of the installation and docking process of the wind turbine and foundation was performed, calculating acceleration and stress curves of the wind turbine and key components under various working conditions. The dynamic stress results and vibration characteristics were investigated, revealing that changes in the twin-barge motion period significantly affect the variation pattern of the wind turbine's stress curve. This study provides a theoretical basis for the structural design of the twin-barge float-over wind turbine installation system, contributing to improved stability and safety during the installation process.

    The expendable bathythermograph (XBT) is capable of measuring hydrological data across ocean depth profiles, so the precision of the XBT probe's operational depth is crucial to the system's accuracy. Based on nonlinear hydrodynamic theory and integrated with large-eddy simulation methods, this paper establishes a scaled three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical model and nonlinear hydrodynamic motion equations. Through numerical analysis of the probe's external flow field characteristics, the drag coefficient is extracted and utilized as a boundary condition to solve for the solution which can estimate the motion depth. Experiments conducted to verify the accuracy of the motion depth estimated. The results reveal that the error in the drag coefficient calculated by the numerical model is less than 4.39%. The drag on the XBT probe originates from the stagnation zone at the head and the adverse pressure gradient flow in the middle section. Using the drag coefficient as a boundary condition, the second-order differential motion equation, known as the nonlinear falling equation (FRE), can be derived. The hyperbolic arctangent analytical solution of the FRE exhibits a maximum velocity deviation of 6.2% and a distance deviation of 3.2% compared to experimentally measured values. This methodology provides accurate speed and depth references for the design and engineering application of XBT probes, laying a foundation for the digital integration of this type of product and enhancing the accuracy of depth calibration.

    With the in-depth development of deep-sea oil and gas fields in recent years, there are more and more H2S-containing oil and gas. Considering the requirements of health of production personnel, environmental protection and corrosion protection of facilities, it is imperative to deal with H2S. The relevant system and process have not been used in domestic offshore facilities before, and the reliability and adaptability need to be verified, especially in cylindrical FPSO with random shaking direction. 
    The OR-GREEN sulfur recovery system was used for the first time in a cylindrical FPSO. In the case of strong wind and waves at sea and severe swaying of FPSO, the oil-gas treatment reactor of OR-GREEN sulfur recovery system will also sway, which may cause the gas-liquid two-phase flow bias in the reactor, affect the reaction and mass transfer time, and further affect the effect of natural gas desulfurization treatment. In this paper, the gas-liquid two-phase flow in a reactor under wind and wave conditions is simulated by Ansys Fluent software. Through simulation, it is verified that the designed structure will not affect the normal operation of the system under the once-a-year wind and wave conditions, and the designed OR-GREEN system can resist the once-a-year wind and wave conditions.

    The development trend of jackets toward large scale and deep water is accompanied by higher load-out difficulties, which poses severe challenges to the performance of slide way blocks located at the quay front. The traditional concrete slide way block is difficult to meet the strength demand, and it needs to be replaced by a steel slide way block with better mechanical properties. This paper takes the deep water jacket project “Haiji-1” as an example, systematically expounds the design process of steel skid way blocks for jacket slippage load-out from the aspects of mechanical model, working condition decomposition, strength check and optimization method. The methodology of theoretical calculations combined with numerical simulations is used for the strength check and optimization of the steel slideway blocks in different stress states. The results show that the load-out start state of the jacket is the most dangerous stress state, which needs to be paid more attention to. The pouring of concrete in the cavity at the front of the steel slide way block can effectively reduce the stress concentration of the internal structure and improve the reliability of the structure.

    To tackle the challenges that complex and dynamic environments impose on motion prediction of marine vehicles, an intelligent prediction system integrating cascaded filter with error-triggered support vector regression (ETSVR) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the system employs a moving average filter for preprocessing raw data, effectively eliminating outliers and high-frequency noise to establish a high-quality dataset for the following prediction. Subsequently, a second-order extended Kalman filter is incorporated for precise state estimation, further enhancing the data stability and reliability. Finally, the ETSVR algorithm works on the processed high-quality dataset to build an accurate motion prediction model for marine vehicles, with an error-triggered mechanism designed to improve the system's real-time performance and computational efficiency. Experimental results based on lake tests demonstrate that the proposed intelligent motion prediction system significantly outperforms traditional linear regression (LR) across various error metrics. For instance, in lateral velocity prediction, the mean squared error is reduced by approximately 53.2% compared to LR, while in yaw rate prediction, the maximum error decreases by around 58.2%. These results indicate that the proposed cascaded filter and ETSVR-based prediction system substantially improves the accuracy of motion prediction in complex unknown environments, highlighting its promising potential and significance.

    Based on the background of a reducing subsea pipeline in a gas field located in the South China Sea, a multi-diameter pig with a reducing rate of 59% is designed, and its passing performance, wear resistance and dewatering performance are analyzed. A test pipeline is designed to simulate the actual reducing subsea pipeline system. Based on the test pipeline, using fresh water as the driving medium, the passing performance of the multi-diameter pig in the pipeline with a reducing rate of 59% is verified. The multi-diameter pig has a uniform fold shape on the sealing plate in the 20.32cm pipeline, and its operating pressure is up to 4×105Pa (gauge pressure), which meets the actual use requirements. Using compressed air as the driving medium, the dewatering performance of the multi-diameter pig is studied. The operating pressure of the multi-diameter pig running from an 20.32cm pipeline to a 30.48cm pipeline is higher than that of the pig running from a 30.48cm pipeline to an 20.32cm pipeline, but the dewatering performance in the former case is better than that in the latter case. The multi-diameter pig after simulation test will be applied to the dewatering of a subsea reducing pipeline in a gas field in the South China Sea.

    Natural gas expansion compressor is the key equipment of natural gas terminal expansion refrigeration process, which plays a vital role in the recovery rate of natural gas byproducts. At present, all natural gas processing terminals use imported expansion compressor sets, but the imported compressor sets have large investment and high maintenance and spare parts costs in the later stage due to technical constraints. Two imported expansion compressors (1.2 million cubic meters/day) that have been used for many years and have frequent failures have been reformed domestically in a onshore terminal of Bohai oil and gas field. The localization transformation of expansion compressor rotor assembly mainly includes expansion end impeller, compression end impeller, main shaft, bearing, diaphragm shaft seal, connecting key and other auxiliary parts. For the first time, the rotor assembly of the imported expansion compressor of natural gas onshore terminal in Bohai area was localized, and the spare parts of the unit did not depend on imports, which was completely independently developed and produced in China. The supply channels were smooth, and the required maintenance spare parts could be purchased in the shortest time, and the technical core parameters were controlled to shorten the maintenance cycle, saving the later maintenance time and cost. The comparison results show that the field application effect of domestic unit parts is good, the unit has been running continuously for 78,840 hours without abnormality, and its performance far exceeds the service life of imported parts, which provides a good reference for similar projects of natural gas expansion refrigeration.
