I am looking forward to the upcoming API - American Petroleum Institute Dispersant Workshop at the Ohmsett - The National Oil Spill Response Research & Renewable Energy Test Facility next week. The two-day event will focus on enhancing the understanding of dispersant application as a technique in oil spill response.
The workshop will cover the following:
• Hands-On Demonstrations: observation and discussion around the performance of mechanical recovery equipment, surface and subsea dispersant application in Ohmsett's impressive test tanks.
• In-Depth Discussions: There will be plenty of opportunities to delve into application techniques and decision-making tools to help us choose the best response strategies.
• Regulatory Insights: We’ll cover the latest US regulatory changes to US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Subpart J and discuss what these mean for our work with dispersants.
• Testing Techniques: We’ll discuss the various techniques for dispersant testing.
Future Research: I’m particularly looking forward to discussions on where our research should head next to continue advancing dispersant and application technology.
This event will bring together a diverse and influential group of professionals from industry, governmental organisations, and Oil Spill Response Organisations (OSROs). It's a great chance to connect, share experiences, and learn from each other. I am very much looking forward to this incredible learning opportunity.
See you there!

I would like to share that I am starting a Phd in Petroleum Science and Engineering in the area of Well Safety and Integrity, with an emphasis on CO2 Injectors Wells in CCUS projects (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage), at the educational institution Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP).

I have been delving into the ongoing influence of the petrochemical industry over scientific research for several years.
Recently, I explored newly released court documents about the world’s biggest oil spill : the Deepwater Horizon.
I uncovered a story of how a legal framework intended to foster cooperation between companies and public authorities on damage assessments ended up giving BP significant control over the academic research surrounding oil spills.
My investigation found that some of the BP-sponsored studies downplayed the environmental impact of the spill, in stark contrast with U.S. authorities’ findings. I also found examples of BP-backed authors not adequately disclosing conflicts of interest when publishing studies in academic literature.
This matters. Scientific research has played a crucial role in the legal proceedings stemming from the oil spill, with some cases still ongoing today regarding the long-term effects of the spill on workers.

‘Safety first’ matters more than ever now with the advent of new fuels including #ammonia and #methanol.
Adoption of these fuels is underway and so crew need to be aware of risks and safe handling.
We have launched 2 new elearning courses on these new fuels, working in partnership with industry experts. Our learning content will continue to evolve and be updated as future fuels become mainstream.
What are your thoughts on #training and #learning about new fuel types?
The #maritime industry’s search for alternative fuels is putting a spotlight on methanol, a fuel with characteristics that include low emissions, production versatility and cost-effectiveness when compared to other alternative fuels. Recent data indicates methanol has overtaken liquified natural gas (LNG) as the preferred alternative fuel for new ships in 2023.
Seafarer competency in working with methanol is an essential step for successful adoption of the fuel. OTG’s new e-learning title, Methanol Fuel Safety, aligns with ongoing work in industry groups to establish training standards for working safely with new fuels. The curriculum includes information about safe handling and storage and guidance on managing leaks and fires.
“It is really important for our customers to ensure that their seafarers stay ahead of the curve and have the knowledge, skills and defined competencies to handle new fuels safely before they are required to work with them,” said Knut Håkon Mikalsen, Director of Learning Solutions for OTG.

産業総合技術研究所と協働した船舶におけるアンモニア漏洩頻度推定が弊会ガイドラインに掲載されました．
Frequency estimation of ammonia leak events from onboard components, my work collaborating with AIST, has been disclosed in our (ClassNK) guidelines for alternative fueled vessel design.
We carried out Bayesian estimation of onboard ammonia leak frequency using the accident database of Japanese domestic ammonia facilities. An academic paper on this finding has been also submitted and now under review.
This work aims to make it more reliable to assess risk of ammonia-fueled vessels.
🌟 Excited to Share Our Latest Research Achievement! 🌟
I’m proud to announce that our collaborative research on improving water injection vertical conformance in the Mishrif carbonate reservoir has been published and presented at the ADIPEC Oil and Gas Conference 2024!
This work, conducted alongside Charlie HammondAlessandro AnibaldiMansur Aglyamov , addresses a persistent challenge in the Rumaila field: the uneven inflow profiles in water injection wells caused by the Mishrif formation’s heterogeneous nature and the unintended effects of non-selective acid stimulations.
Our study explores and documents:
✅ Selective stimulation of low-permeability zones using advanced zonal isolation techniques, including through-tubing inflatable/retrievable packers, casing conditioning, and focused acid jetting.
✅ Suppression of high-permeability vuggy zones, trialing innovative approaches like water-swellable polymers and calcium carbonate particle injections to reduce undesired injectivity.
✅ Enhanced stimulation results through different acid formulation for deeper formation penetration and optimized acid volumes for under-performing zones.
✅ A novel combination of stimulation and suppression treatments within a single intervention to achieve improved conformance without the need for costly rig workovers or complex downhole flow control completions.
The findings are supported by extensive pre- and post-job surveillance data, including injection tests, downhole gauge monitoring, and injection logging tools (ILT). This high-quality dataset provides insights into both the successes and lessons learned from these treatments.
Through this work, water injection profiles were significantly improved, increasing sweep efficiency and paving the way for cost-effective, rigless solutions to enhance performance in multi-zone reservoirs like Mishrif.
A special thanks to the well work and wells team in Rumaila Operating Organisation along with SLB and Halliburton for their continuous efforts in advancing the technologies that improve operational efficiency, job execution, and performance evaluation. Your expertise and dedication were integral to the success of this project.
I’m thrilled to share these findings with the global energy community and engage with industry professionals to discuss further innovations in reservoir optimization.

Are you curious about industrial water reuse using on-site pilots? Do you want to see how #CCRO operates? If yes, you can read our #AquaSPICE report at #BASF Antwerp where we treated #RO concentrate from the new demin plant of #Evides Industriewater with #CCRO. We could successfully recover up to 80% of the water, potentially increasing the overall water recovery of the plant from current 85 to 97%! Additionally we tested the regeneration of a softener with RO brine instead of demin water, increasing the potential water savings.
