Design features of offshore facilities for South-Western Kara Sea conditions
Master's thesis in Offshore Technology The increasing hydrocarbon deposit depletion degree leads to the necessity to engage new promising territories in field development. In Russia, the depletion of petroleum fields has exceeded 50% of their potential, while even the maximum field development...
