This book was released on 1967 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of a fifteen man-month conceptual design study for a Manned Underwater Station are presented, conforming to the requirement of a 30-day mission for 5 men at 6000 feet. The station is self-supporting when emplaced by using an isotope heat source with turbo-electric power generation, and a life support system to provide comfortable one-atmosphere environment. The pressure hull is toroidal in shape, forty feet in overall diameter with a 10-foot tube diameter. HY-140 steel is recommended for construction of the internally ring-stiffened hull. The concept provides a stable platform with maximum viewing of the bottom in the limited visibility in the deep ocean. For bottom locations with sufficient bearing strength, the hemispherical foundation and toroidal hull act as a ball-and socket joint with unique leveling capability. Where extremely low bearing strength materials are encountered, modifications are made to distribute the load on the bottom. Additional toroidal modules, mating in a vertical stack, permit expanding the station for larger operational missions. Emergency power and life support provisions are included for a 5-day period beyond the 30-day mission requirement. However, with the recommended power system and the electro-mechanical life support equipment there is no reason why the mission time cannot be extended to 90 days when personnel interchange is undertaken. Crews may be exchanged by using small submersibles which have a mating capability with bottomed submarines. (Author).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The support of subsea oil and gas production operations involves the use of many underwater work systems. Divers can be used for support tasks in water depths to 300 m, but at more extreme depths operations become restrictively expensive and the efficiency of task performance is reduced. Remote controlled unmanned vehicles can replace the diver to a limited extent, performing inspection and maintenance tasks and supporting drilling opera tions. Operations in deepwaters performed by remote controlled vehicles and one man submersible vehicles, such as JIM and WASP, are more cost effective than the use of divers. The areas of operation of the more complex multi-manned submersibles and bells are today generally restricted to their use for diver lock-out operations, manned intervention to subsea enclosures and the deployment of other underwater work systems. Oil and gas exploration activity is being undertaken in progres sively deeper waters. In the North Sea, Shell have discovered a large gas accumulation off the Norwegian coast in 323 m water depth and B. P. have made oil finds West of the Shetlands in 500 m and West of Eire in 450 m. Exploration drilling is today being carried out in many areas of the world in water depths greater than 1000 m, i. e. Western Mediterranean, Offshore Argentina, Offshore Western Australia and in the Niger Basin, West Africa. The existing discoveries of Shell and B. P.

Book excerpt: Large undersea installations with a shirt-sleeve environment have existed under the continental shelves for many decades. The technology now exists, using off-the-shelf petroleum, mining, submarine, and nuclear equipment, to establish permanent manned installations within the sea floor that do not have any air umbilical or other connection with the land or water surface, yet maintain a normal one-atmosphere environment within. This presentation briefly reviews the past and present in-the-sea-floor mineral industry. The methods presently practical for direct access to and from permanent in-the-sea-floor installations are outlined, and the specific operations and types of tools indicated. Initial power requirements and cost estimates are included. (Author).

Book excerpt: This report describes the development of a manned underwater station concept capable of supporting 5 men for 30 days at depths up to 6000 feet in a one atmosphere shirt sleeve environment. Functional requirements for the various subsystems and the overall configuration are established. The rationale for selection of particular systems is presented and the integration of these systems into the station is carried out. (Author).
