The primary objectives of this project are to (1) consider the full suite of environmental data (meteorological and oceanographic) and structural performance data that could be collected during exploration and production operations off the coast of Alaska, and review each type of measurement in terms of its potential value to the design of future offshore infrastructure; and (2) assess alternatives and develop a recommendation for how MMS should go about collecting, archiving and processing this data.
The project will be accomplished via the following tasks:
Review Method of Approach with MMS. Conduct Interviews with Subject Matter Experts. Synthesize Expert Opinions. Review Draft MMS Data Collection Guidelines. Develop Recommendations for Way Forward. Prepare Final Report.
