The North Sea’s aged offshore oil and gas platforms and pipelines is
approaching a new phase in its operations during which it will be necessary to
decommission some of them, many of which have been producing oil
and gas for over 30 years.
Increasing emerging
economies has resulted in an increase in energy demand, and thus a look into
the Biofuel. Factors such as oil prices, global warming, and explorative access
issues has spurred the development of biofuels.
Biofuels are carbon
neutralizers but issues and challenges such as Fuel vs. Food debate,
life-cycle-environmental impact of biofuels [1] raises question marks over its
development and sustainability to substitute fossil fuels.
I find this article very interesting. ( Published in Nature News by Philip Ball )

sir,
i amhe currently doing project using ansys. i have to model the properties of a gel using viscoelastic properties. there are different viscoelastic models in ansys , i dont know which model should use and how we get the parameters for that model.hope a favourable reply
regards
hello
i simulted impact on ceramic plate but after the impact the element of ceramic didnot erod. i use element deletation=yes, any body know what should i do?
thanks
Like we have established, health, safety and environmental legislation regimes have always been as a result of major accidents. The only time there is the need for new legislation is when there is a major accident. this is rather a faulty pivot for legislation formation because there is no single accident sequence that would ever repeat itself in thesame way. Why is it not possible to achieve a more robust model.

The North Sea is experiencing another wave of technological advancement in the process of extending the life span of Existing pipelines.
A lot of the Pipelines in the North sea have reached or are close to the end of their design life and as usual the business minds who own these assets are taking steps to extend the life of the pipelines instead of just decommisioning, their argument is mainly economic i.e. the CAPEX involved.
Is this not a potential disaster in the making. Can we properly extend the lives of pipelines and still optimize the safety case
