Welcome 

Welcome from the Conference Chairs 

Prof. Segen F. Estefen 

Dr. Antonio C. Fernandes 


Several years ago when we decided to propose Brazil 

as the venue for OMAE 2012, offshore oil production 

was high and steady due to both Petrobras´ 

entrepreneurship and the keen technical and 

scientific support from Brazilian academia. Brazil 

had just become self sufficient, balancing energy 

production with energy consumption. International 

recognition of economic growth and improvements 

in social development was positive. The OOAE 

Division and various committees and individuals 

who review and approve the destination for the 

OMAE conference recognized these achievements 

and awarded OMAE 2012 to Brazil! 

What no one knew then, but we all applaud 

now, is the discovery of the Pre-Salt fields in 2009. 

A new era has begun that may recognize Brazil not 

only as a high ranking oil producer, but also as an 

innovative player in deepwater technology to deal 

with a very challenging environment as far as depth 

and distance from the coast are concerned. The 

technological challenges and opportunities posed 

by the Pre-Salt fields are attracting international 

companies, who are employing Brazilian engineers 

and other professionals. This ripple effect is 

positively impacting the Federal University of Rio 

de Janeiro, which is responding to the demand 

for qualified personnel, especially since several of 

the international companies are investing in R&D 

facilities. 

There is an old song in Brazil that ironically states 

“Yes, we have bananas”. We may need to update that 

song’s lyrics to “Yes, we have offshore technology!” We 

are proud to affirm that due to continuous efforts 

over more than 30 years, Brazil is pursuing excellence 

in sophisticated technologies to produce oil and gas 

in the deepest productive regions of the ocean. 

Progressively new procedures and high tech 

equipment have been incorporated into the offshore 

oil and gas industry to guarantee reliable and safe 

operations. One of the roles of OMAE 2012 is to 

promote these advances and help them to reach those 

in the industry who need them. 

We acknowledge the outstanding support from our 

sponsors, in particular Petrobras, the Super Platinum 

Sponsor, who organized the “Workshop on Pre-Salt 

Technologies” in conjunction with COPPE/UFRJ 

It has been eleven years since OMAE was last in 

Rio. We are happy to welcome all the attendees of 

OMAE 2012 to the “Marvelous City”. We sincerely 

believe you will enjoy the fantastic scenery and 

friendly people in Rio de Janeiro.

Welcome from the Technical Program Chair 

As the OMAE 2012 Technical Program Chair, I am 

honored and proud of the technical program for the 

31 st International Conference on Ocean, Offshore 

and Arctic Engineering. We are presenting more 

than 700 reviewed papers that reflect the state-ofthe-art 

in ocean, offshore and arctic engineering. Rio 

de Janeiro is the backdrop to exciting presentations 

and networking opportunities between researchers, 

engineers, managers, technicians and students from 

scientific and industrial communities from around 

the world who are exchanging ideas and experiences 

whilst promoting technological progress and its 

application in industry. 

I am pleased that we were able to re-initiate 

the Petroleum Technology Symposium within 

OMAE, because this completion makes OMAE the 

international technical conference in ocean, offshore 

and arctic engineering. In total, we have twelve 

symposia for you to attend: 

1. Offshore Technology 

2. Structures, Safety and Reliability 

3. Materials Technology 

4. Pipeline and Riser Technology 

5. Ocean Space Utilization 

6. Ocean Engineering 

7. Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology 

8. CFD and VIV 

9. Ocean Renewable Energy 

10. Offshore Geotechnics 

11. Petroleum Technology Symposium 

12. The Ronald W. Yeung Honoring Symposium on 

Offshore and Ship Hydrodynamics 

I am also very proud that we have the largest 

special symposium, ever, honoring the contributions 

of Professor Ronald W. Yeung to offshore research. 

The Ronald W. Yeung Honoring Symposium on 

Offshore and Ship Hydrodynamics with more than 

70 papers illustrates the outstanding contribution of 

Professor Yeung to offshore research. 

Besides the 12 symposia, we have a special 

workshop dealing with “Pre-Salt Technologies: 

Challenges and Opportunities”. 

On Sunday, July 1, we are offering two ASME 

certified short courses for: 

• Marine Renewable Energy, and 

• Subsea Equipment. 

The Outreach for Engineers Specialty Forum 

continues to focus on drawing students, who are the 

next generation, into the fold. 

I would like to thank the Local Organizing 

Committee, led by Antonio Fernandes and Segen 

F. Estefen, both from COPPE/UFRJ, Brazil, for the 

outstanding work they have done in organizing 

such a wonderful conference. As well, I would like 

to thank the Symposium Coordinators and Session 

Chairs for their excellent work. But most of all I 

would like to thank and congratulate all the authors 

and reviewers of OMAE 2012 for their valuable 

contributions and efforts to make OMAE 2012 a big 

success and a memorable event. 

Enjoy the conference and have some fun!

Welcome 

Welcome from the OOAE Division 

Prof. Jon Mikkelsen 


Welcome to the 31 st International Conference on 

Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 

2012) and the vibrant and beautiful city of Rio de 

Janeiro. The entire Extended Executive Committee 

(EEC) of the Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering 

(OOAE) Division welcomes you to OMAE 2012 and 

thanks all authors and participants for helping make 

the OMAE Conference be recognized as the primary 

international forum in this area. 

Members of industry, academia and government 

agencies from over 40 countries meet at the 

OMAE Conference to discuss new state-of-the–art 

technologies and share fundamental knowledge 

related to the ocean environment. The goal of the 

OOAE Division always remains the development 

of novel concepts, better understanding of the 

environmental forces, and safer operation of 

structures in the often harsh ocean environment. This 

year’s conference has 13 technical symposia: nine of 

our long-established regular symposia plus our two 

newest symposiums on Offshore Geotechnics and 

Petroleum Technology, and a special symposium 

honoring our esteemed colleague, Ronald W. Yeung. 

This honorary symposium on Offshore and Ship 

Hydrodynamics has attracted over 70 special papers. 

As we all know, Brazil has experienced 

tremendous growth over the past several years. I 

am certain that those of you who visited OMAE 

2001 can attain to this fact. Much of this growth 

is due to the remarkable hydrocarbon reserves 

found in the deep waters surrounding Brazil. It is 

especially relevant that OMAE 2012 will feature the 

“Workshop on Pre-Salt Technologies: Challenges and 

Opportunities” as the thirteenth symposium. It is sure 

to attract tremendous interest. 

The “Outreach for Engineers Program” continues 

to grow in popularity with a record number of 

well qualified applicants this year. It is vital that we 

continue to attract students and young professionals 

to our OMAE Conference. 

On behalf of the entire EEC of the OOAE 

Division of ASME, I would like to thank all the 

sponsors for their financial support. It is important 

to acknowledge all the dedicated volunteers who 

worked very hard to make this Conference a success. 

Special thanks to our Conference Chairs, Dr. 

Antonio C. Fernandes and Prof. Segen F. Estefen, 

both from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro,

Prof. Tony Lewis 


The Challenges of Developing a Heavy Oil Field – The Peregrino Case 

Presenter: André Leite, Vice President of Field Development, Statoil 

The development of heavy oil fields has gained 

momentum in the recent years boosted by favorable 

market conditions. Statoil’s international growth 

strategy is based on the company’s technological edge 

and one of its pillars is heavy oil. The company holds 

strategic positions in Venezuela, Canada and Brazil, 

with interests in the Orinoco belt, Oil Sands and 

offshore Campos Basin, where Statoil is the operator 

of the Peregrino field in partnership with Sinochem. 

Peregrino is the largest Statoil international 

operatorship and delivered first oil in April 2011. The 

technical and technological challenges associated 

with the development of these fields should not 

be underestimated. Low reservoir pressure and 

GOR, high viscosity and water production, among 

others, impact well design, flow assurance and the 

processing plant and are some of the issues that need 

to be addressed when designing and operating the 

system. 

The Status of Ocean Energy Development – A World View 

Presenter: Tony Lewis, Professor of Energy Engineering, Hydraulics and Maritime Research Centre, University College Cork 

The Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change 

(IPCC) has recently published a special report on 

the role of Renewable Energies in future climate 

change mitigation (SRREN). The findings from the 

ocean energy chapter of that report will be presented 

outlining the potential deployment, the current state 

of development and the future economic activity 

around this new technological industry. There are 

a number of Government initiatives under way to 

support the development of this nascent industry 

and these will be described for Europe, North 

America, South America and Asia. The particular 

strategy that has been developed in Ireland will be 

described as a case study as will the steps that the 

Government is taking to implement these technology 

developments. This will be contrasted with some 

other development options being initiated by other 

European countries. A number of open sea test sites 

are being developed in Europe and the characteristics 

of selected examples will be given. Information about 

the characteristics of these sites has been assembled 

by the IEA-OES and the results will be presented. In 

order for the device developers to progress on the 

path towards commercial implementation a sequence 

of development at different technology readiness 

levels is required. These will be outlined and some of 

the research questions that need to be addressed will 

also be presented. 

André Leite started his career in 1983 as a naval 

architect / marine engineer in Denmark, working in 

structural design and construction until 1986 after 

which he took several positions in Brazilian shipping 

companies and shipyards. In 1989, Mr. Leite joined 

Petrobras, working in Corporate E&P. He worked in 

several positions, including Project Coordinator for 

P-51, P-52 and P-56 during conceptual and execution 

phases. In 2006, Mr. Leite moved to Hydro which 

later merged with Statoil. At Statoil, he is responsible 

for new developments from early phase to first 

oil, bringing them through four phases: feasibility, 

concept selection, definition and execution, at which 

point the development is handed over to operations. 

In addition, Mr. Leite is responsible for Partner 

Operated Licenses, technology management and 

industrial development. Mr. Leite graduated as a 

Naval Architect / Marine Engineer and has a Masters 

degree in Ocean Engineering, both from Escola 

Politécnica USP, Brazil. 

Anthony Lewis is a Professor of Energy 

Engineering at University College Cork, and is 

the Academic Director of the Hydraulics and 

Maritime Research Centre. Prof. Lewis has special 

competence in ocean energy development, maritime 

civil engineering and field measurements in the 

marine environment. These are demonstrated 

by various positions he has held. For example, 

he has overall academic responsibility for the 

Programmes in Energy Engineering in the School 

of Engineering at University College, Cork, Ireland. 

He was Coordinating Lead Author (CLA) for the 

Ocean Energy Chapter (6) in Special Report on 

Renewable Energy for the Intergovernmental Panel 

on Climate Change (IPCC 2011), and has been an 

Alternate Delegate for Ireland to the Ocean Energy 

Implementing Agreement under the auspices of 

the International Energy Agency (IEA), since 

2003. In addition, he is a Founding Board Member 

of the European Ocean Energy Association, and 

was a Member of the External Advisory Group to 

European Commission for Energy Research in FP5 

programme (2003-2005). He is also currently the 

Principal Investigator in the SFI Charles Parsons 

Research Programme – Ocean Energy Systems, due 

to be completed in 2015.

Petrópolis was known as the “Imperial City” since it was the favorite of Monarch Pedro II, who spent his summers 

there to avoid the heat of Rio. The Imperial Museum contains a great collection of objects formerly belonging 

to royalty including Pedro II’s imperial crown fashioned with 5 pounds of gold and encrusted with hundreds of 

pearls, diamonds and emeralds. The surrounding area reflects the German immigrants who initially settled in 

the area to serve the imperial family.
