“…This is further manifested in the lack of standards to support a semantic AEC industry. For instance, apart from ISO 15926 (Akinyemi et al, 2020), there were no ISO standards that support/mandate existing ontology deployment in the AEC industry, until the recent publication of ISO 23386 that promotes interconnected data dictionaries.…”

“…There exist some translational languages to convert data from relational format to RDF such as D2RQ (D2RQ 2020) and YARRRML (YARRRML 2020). As per Akinyemi et al (2020), when querying across multiple sources over the internet, as in this case, then federated SPARQL queries are to be used. For such on-the-fly querying, Akinyemi et al (2020) recommended using an Ontology-based Data Access (OBDA) approach.…”

The construction industry is considered to be lagging behind other industries in terms of the technological advancement. One of the main factors is the lack of integration of incoherent and heterogeneous data on a project level. Whilst the adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies and processes was aimed to solve integration issues. The interoperability is still a problem to solve, as most information and data fields show inconsistencies in a number of cases. One of the aspects of the problem is that IFC EXPRESS schema is only machine readable, requires extensive mappings, and usually does not support infrastructure domains other than buildings. This research explores the possibility of utilising Semantic Web Technologies (SWT) to help achieving some of the desired goals of data interoperability and Whole Life Cycle (WLC) information flow. SWT support the creation of comprehensive, layered, shared, human and machines readable, and extendable knowledge repositories dubbed ontologies. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) which forms the core of SWT provides a rather elegant way of modelling datasets, that is, assigning an Internationalised Resource Identifier (IRI) to each class, instance, and property. SWT are ought to provide better information retrieval and inferencing than current systems used in the industry. The main objective of this paper is to present a framework to demonstrate how SWT can underpin WLC information flow in water infrastructure projects case study.

“…It should also be mentioned that some preliminary lab-based results were presented by the authors in [9], [10] where some basic studies were reported such as the transmission of a digitized image for various propagation scenarios within circular pipelines. Expanding on these initial studies, we contribute further to the development of future digital-based oil fields which can foster real-time crude extraction monitoring as well as field decommissioning monitoring when required [11], [12], [13], [14].…”

The modelling and design of a full wireless microwave communication system is examined, where the signal propagates within an overmoded circular metallic pipeline. Applications include the oil and gas industry. A specific link budget equation was also developed for the S-band transmission system and measured successfully using a 36-meter carbon steel pipeline, which can be easily extended to more than 150 meters. Also, based on the measured system data, the receiver sensitivity was determined to be −77 dBm and 15 dB in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Additionally, some digitized images, sensory information such as temperature and pressure, and live stream videos were successfully transmitted and monitored in realtime, using N210 universal software radio peripheral (USRP) modems by National Instruments and coded in Matlab/Simulink and LabVIEW. To the best knowledge of the authors, no similar microwave communication system has been developed with supporting theory, full wave simulations, and measurements for propagation within for oil and gas industry wells.INDEX TERMS Circular waveguide, digitized image, mandrel, live stream video, OFDM, oil and gas well, sensory data, transmission path loss, Yagi-Uda PCB-based antenna.

“…As there are several viable options for decommissioning used platforms, a review of these options is needed. In recent years, several studies (Brigitte et al, 2018;Bull et al, 2019) have appeared in the academic literature on the topic of decommissioning offshore platforms (see Table 1) and related aspects such as decarbonisation, waste management (Akinyemi et al, 2020) and hydrogen production from renewable sources (Pflugmann and De Blasio, 2020). In addition, a new paradigm is also emerging, namely that of long-term coexistence between offshore platforms and marine habitats.…”

In recent years, the problem of decommissioning and recycling offshore platforms has become an increasingly complex issue for environmental, socio-economic and safety reasons. The decommissioning or sustainable conversion of offshore platforms in the broader context of the circular economy will lead to the acquisition of new technologies and increasingly change values and behaviours towards sustainability in line with new business models. It will also be a complex process as it will require new skills, transformative technologies and the ability to engage all stakeholders. The objective of this study are the Multi-Use Platforms at Sea (MUPS), which represents an interesting solution for the creation of marine areas where different economic and recreational activities can be launched and developed according to the needs of environmental protection (e.g. renewable energies, shellfish farming, decarbonization plants, tourism and recreation).The main research question was the following: "What is the sustainable and circular business model in the literature that can be best used to support the transformation and/or decommissioning of oil platforms?" In addition, "How can the above business model be applied to the case of a platform considering social and environmental impacts?" In the first phase, the research activity focused on a thorough review of the literature on offshore platform decommissioning and sustainable and circular business models. This allowed us to access the Sustainable Circular Business Model Canvas (SCBMC), a conceptual tool that presents a holistic view of the different multi-purpose management options and their social and environmental impacts. This tool could help oil and gas operators (and related industries) address platform mining issues. The methodology adopted was a qualitative analysis. To test the SCBMC, an empirical study was conducted with semi-structured questionnaires given to several stakeholders (including experts, professionals and academics) in the international decommissioning industry. In addition, broader desk research on global offshore case studies was conducted using information sources and secondary sources. In future research, it may be useful to compare the SCBMC with the latest mainstream Circular Business Model (CBM) issues to better assess and quantify the environmental and social impacts of offshore platform decommissioning and to broaden the debate on this topic, considering economic indicators.
