Description
The objective was to assess the current knowledge of ice buildup on offshore structures in Arctic and other cold regions; determine the extent of the problem; review current technology for mitigating; and make recommendations for new approaches and additional research. Using industry sources, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory's on-line data base searches and visits to sites of known icing, the current knowledge of ice buildup on oil and gas operational facilities will be determined. A report will be prepared detailing the findings, proposing solutions, and recommending additional research, if applicable.
