I really appreciate the care that folks on the Autobot side have been taking with each other, especially with noncombatants, rookies and injured. There are so many little moments like this and it goes to show what sorts of people typically gravitated to which side of the conflict and what kind of society/culture they're trying to preserve and promote. It is a shame that we didn't get more space in this narrative to explore the less typical personalities that would naturally be mixed in on both sides, though.

Offshore Decommissioning: Ensuring Safety and Environmental Protection as Assets Reach the End

Regulatory Framework for Offshore Asset Removal One of the first tasks when an offshore oil or gas asset reaches the end of its productive life is deciding on the appropriate decommissioning plan. International regulations provide guidelines on asset removal and seabed clearance to minimize environmental impacts and ensure worker safety. The U.K. Offshore Petroleum Activities (Decommissioning of Offshore Installations and Pipelines) Regulations 2005 requires asset owners to submit a detailed decommissioning program outlining proposed removal timelines and methods. Similarly, regulations in other offshore jurisdictions like Norway and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico mandate assessing removal versus in-place decommissioning options and developing plans to address well plugging and seabed remediation. Regulators thoroughly review proposed decommissioning scopes to ensure full compliance with global safety and environmental standards before approving projects. Engineering Challenges of Removal Operations Physically dismantling and removing large, complex offshore structures presents formidable engineering challenges. Assets may weigh thousands of tons and require meticulous preparation before pieces can be sectioned and lifted. Mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) like jack-up rigs usually follow a sequence of legs removal, topsides separation and piece-small dismantling over multiple offshore campaigns. For fixed platforms, engineers first separate and extract valuable equipment while simultaneously making cuts at strategic weak points designed for demolition. Specialty vessels then carefully hoist massive steel sections or large pre-assembled pieces for transfer to onshore disposal or recycling sites. Harsh weather conditions and remote offshore locations increase project complexity, requiring multi-phase operations over several months or years to fully carry out decommissioning scopes. Environmental Protection Measures During Decommissioning Due to the potential for disturbing subsurface environments and releasing pollutants, Offshore Decommissioning activates stringent safety protocols and environmental safeguards. Project teams install protective booms, conduct seabed surveys and continuously monitor for hydrocarbon leaks and accidental spills. Cutting and blasting operations undergo extensive risk assessments and utilize techniques like hydraulic sheer cuts that minimize underwater noise and dispersion of debris. Waste streams get properly categorized as hazardous or non-hazardous for disposal through approved routes. Long-term monitoring also examines any ongoing impacts on benthic habitats or marine life from structure removal activities. Proactive planning ensures decommissioning projects meet global standards to restore offshore sites and protect surrounding ecosystems. Get more insights on Offshore Decommissioning

Introducing the Nuvem subsea cable

Google are introducing Nuvem today, a new transatlantic submarine cable system that will link Portugal, Bermuda, and America.

Nuvem Submarine Cable information

Nuvem, which takes its name from the Portuguese term for “cloud,” will strengthen network resilience across the Atlantic and support the expansion of digital service demand. The new cable channel will increase the variety of international routes and aid in the construction of ICT infrastructure across the concerned continents and nations.

Studies demonstrate the improvements in productivity, investment, and commerce that a subsea cable may bring to a nation. Societies may continue to modernize with greater internet affordability and availability; individuals can gain information and skills that lead to new employment possibilities, while companies and governments can become more productive due to digital transformation. The landing points for Nuvem have embraced this potential and urgency and are quickly becoming centers for global connection.

The Bermudan government has made major efforts in recent years to draw investment in undersea cable infrastructure and establish a digital Atlantic center, including establishing new laws to establish cable corridors and simplify permits. The first cable to link Bermuda and Europe will be Nuvem, which will also be the first cable to land in this challenging area.

Walter Roban, Bermuda’s Deputy Premier and Minister of Home Affairs, stated, “Bermuda has long been committed to the submarine cable market, and we welcome the Nuvem cable to our fast-growing digital Atlantic hub.” Bermuda is excited to collaborate with Google on its cable project and to develop a larger cooperation to maximize the advantages of the investment in digital infrastructure.

“The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) welcomes the announcement by Google that Bermuda will be the home of a new transatlantic cable on the path to becoming a digital hub of the Atlantic,” said David Hart, CEO of the Bermuda Business Development Agency. The Bermuda Development Authority (BDA) has long argued that Bermuda’s geographic location makes it a prime landing and connector site for underwater cables connecting the Americas, Europe, and Africa.

We are thrilled that our efforts have been successful. Since undersea cable networks carry around 95% of the world’s communications, Bermuda’s function as an international data-transit switch will boost network redundancy and resilience for nations on both sides of the Atlantic for decades to come.

Portugal has similarly developed into a port for subsea cables due to its favorable geographic position on the southwest coast of continental Europe as well as the nation’s emphasis on improving the digital economy’s infrastructure. Nuvem is the most recent addition to Portugal’s underwater cable network, which also includes Equiano, the newly finished system that links Portugal with Togo, Nigeria, Namibia, South Africa, and St. Helena. Nuvem has ambitions to land in Portugal.

“Google’s investment reflects our goal of making Portugal a vibrant connectivity hub for Europe with strong ties to other continents, which is reflected in our vision for Portugal in the telecom and data industries. The Portuguese Government views this investment as very essential, and the excellent coordination and communication between the ministry, the Portuguese entities, and Google made it possible, according to Joo Galamba, Portugal’s Minister of Infrastructure.

Our objective is to turn these information highways into investment magnets for cutting-edge technological industries, accelerating the country’s successful digital transformation. Our attempts to attract these kinds of investments have been driven by this aim in recent months, which has driven us to improve our communication infrastructures and create a clear industry roadmap.

“He applaud Google on the growth of their transatlantic submarine cable system, which now links Portugal, Bermuda, and the US. This is another illustration of the expanding American investment in Portugal, according to Randi Charno Levine, the American ambassador to Portugal. “Subsea cables connect continents and enable the transfer of data, information, and ideas throughout the globe. They act as the backbone of international communication. The installation of a new subsea cable increases the resiliency of our communications network while lowering the cost of internet access. This is important for social inclusion, educational advancement, and economic growth.

Nuvem will touch down in South Carolina on the American side. Arrival of the cable will strengthen the state’s position as a developing technology hub by boosting connectivity and diversifying employment opportunities. Firmina, which touched down in South Carolina earlier this year and will finally link with Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, will be followed by Nuvem.

Gov. Henry McMaster said that the extra cable linking to South Carolina “reaffirms our state’s position as a leader in cutting-edge technologies.” We applaud Google’s ongoing investments in digital infrastructure and anticipate the good effects on the state’s and the world’s economies.

For Google users and Google Cloud customers worldwide, Nuvem will boost capacity, improve dependability, and reduce latency when it is ready for service in 2026. It will build crucial new data corridors linking North America, South America, Europe, and Africa alongside Firmina and Equiano. These corridors will act as the underwater roots that reinforce the intercontinental network lattice and unite nations and economies from all over the globe.

Fun fact: The emergency return time from the moon is shorter than the emergency return time from 1000ft/304m saturation diving!

An emergency return from lunar orbit is approx 4 days. But to safely surface from a saturation dive of that depth you need to undergo safe decompression for 11 days or very very bad things happen to practically all your tissues. (I can talk about the bends too if you want!)

The rule of thumb (actual dive plans don't use rules of thumb, but it's a good rough estimate for our purposes) for deep saturation diving is 24 hours deco per 100ft plus 24 hours safety margin, so a 1000ft dive would mean you need 11 days of decompression! and deepest dive recorded was 1752ft, so that's not even as bad as it gets!

The problem with this is that it's not safe for you to leave the hyperbaric chamber or for anyone to enter (rapid compression is ALSO bad) so if you have a medical emergency or something that necessitates an emergency surfacing no one can help you.

Deep sea operations are absolutely fascinating! the logistics of decompression are so difficult that deep sea operations are done at ambient pressure so that there's no decompression at the start and end of shift, only one really long one at the end of a work rotation. It's a bit like working on a space station but with the pressure going in the opposite direction.
