4. Offshore S & T Strategy Themes Ageing facilities Change management Floating systems/new development Revitalising health and safety

5. Extramural R & D Current Portfolio: £1.8 m Pre 02/03: 1 Project 02/03 : 4 Projects 03/04 : 3 Projects 04/05 : 6 Projects O5/06 : 4 Projects 06/07 : 2 Projects

6. Extramural Themes (1) Metocean: ISO validation pilot, UK wave map, airgap Structural Integrity: blast wall strength, corrosion inspection; fatigue HSS Floaters: offloading; Roll JIP; flexible riser JIP Shift workers circadian rhythms Blowouts frequency data collection

7. Extramural Themes (2) Guidelines: avoidance of pipe vibration; elastomer seals in explosive environments; Collaborative work with CAA for heliops Review of practices in shipping industry for managing ships collision

8. HSL Work for OSD 04/05 £687k; 05/06 £555k 105 projects (mainly small) incident related testing and analysis (diving, wire ropes, gas dispersion) aid to development of OSD F & B strategy generic explosion modelling comparisons weathered PFP testing gas detector operability

9. Waiting Extramural (1) £460k estimate 10 Projects Metocean – joint probability calculation of extreme water levels –Public domain hind cast data to assess joint probability of extreme water levels –Calculation of air gap for NS Fixed installations using ISO 19901-1

10. Waiting Extramural (2) Structural Integrity –Residual stress in welded joints –Framework for SI management of fixed jacket structures –Techniques and technologies underpinning management of ageing installations –SI monitoring: review and appraisal of current technologies

11. Waiting Extramural - 3 Performance based explosion resistant design Safety on drill floor – driller’s supervision FPSO failures database

12. Future Ageing Installations: technology underpinning extension; framework for management; monitoring review; foundation safety; explosion resistant design; safety on drill floor ( drilling supervision); carbon sequestration More stakeholder collaboration Tighter Funds For External Resources Cross Sector Cutting Themes
