Distinctive booklet 196. Exhumation of the North Atlantic Margin: Timing, Mechanisms and Implications for Petroleum Exploration. Northwest Europe has gone through repeated episode of exhumation (the publicity of previously buried rocks) as a result of such elements as post-orogenic unroofing, rift-shoulder uplift, hotspot job, compressive tectonics, eustatic seal-level swap, glaciation and isostatic re-adjustment.

Offshore Safety Management. Implementing a SEMS Program

2010 was once a defining 12 months for the offshore oil and gasoline within the usa. On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) floating drilling rig suffered a catastrophic explosion and fireplace. 11 males died within the explosion ― 17 others have been injured. the hearth, which burned for an afternoon and a part, finally despatched the full rig to the ground of the ocean.

Designing for Human Reliability: Human Factors Engineering in the Oil, Gas, and Process Industries

Underestimates the level to which behaviour at paintings is stimulated via the layout of the operating surroundings. Designing for Human Reliability argues that larger know-how of the contribution of layout to human blunders can considerably improve HSE functionality and increase go back on funding. Illustrated with many examples, Designing for Human Reliability explores why paintings platforms are designed and carried out such that "design-induced human mistakes" turns into more-or-less inevitable.

Example text

There are now some 27 porphyry copper operations in the southwestern part of the United States alone. In addition, new ore bodies have been discovered and drilled out. They are not in production now because of limited smelter capacity. Consequently, anticipated copper resources, constituting both known reserves and paramarginal and submarginal resources, together with new deposits which will be discovered, should supply a large part of industrial requirements of copper for a long time to come, provided new techniques and methods keep pace with demand.

Using the drill hole data, a contour map of the bottom and top of the ore body can be drawn. With this information, a block cave-in place leach plan can be formulated. The most suitable and economical plan would be lateral transfer by scrapers on the control level with belt conveyor haulage. This system allows the undercut to follow the slope of the ore body. For this study, a lUO foot wide panel system, with 20 foot pillars between panels was selected. Slusher drifts on 30 foot centres and draw raises on 17 1/2 foot centres along the slusher drifts were selected.

For this study, a lUO foot wide panel system, with 20 foot pillars between panels was selected. Slusher drifts on 30 foot centres and draw raises on 17 1/2 foot centres along the slusher drifts were selected. With this system a good draw control is obtained and additional pillars can easily be left. Blocks of 150' x l^O1 comprise a unit within the panel. Figures 1, 2 and 3 give details concerning the operation. 5** per sq. ft. mining cost was calculated (Appendix l). Leaching Test leaching of all the exploratory drill holes, cores and leaching tests of underground work should be made.
