The oil-gas conductor is the key part that connects subsea facilities and offshore equipment. The installation, construction and the stability control in subsequent operation of the conductor are main technical problems in the field of offshore oil and gas engineering. The book focuses on installation of oil and gas conductor in the offshore oil field. It includes three parts. The first part introduces the main installations and structural features of the wellhead above water and the wellhead under water. Then, it summarizes methods and theories of oil and gas conductor design. Finally, the differences in the construction techniques and supporting equipment of the three oil and gas well conductor installation methods are systematically described. This book contains a complete set of equipment, construction process and design methods for oil and gas conductor installation with multidisciplinary knowledge of geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, and structural dynamics. Scientific researchers and college students engaged in marine oil and gas engineering, petroleum engineering, marine engineering will find this book as a valuable reference.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of marine control system design related to underwater robotics applications. In particular, it presents novel optimization-based model predictive control strategies to solve control problems appearing in autonomous underwater vehicle applications. These novel approaches bring unique features, such as constraint handling, prioritization between multiple design objectives, optimal control performance, and robustness against disturbances and uncertainties, into the control system design. They therefore form a more general framework to design marine control systems and can be widely applied. Advanced Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Marine Vehicles balances theoretical rigor - providing thorough analysis and developing provably-correct design conditions - and application perspectives - addressing practical system constraints and implementation issues. Starting with a fixed-point positioning problem for a single vehicle and progressing to the trajectory-tracking and path-following problem of the vehicle, and then to the coordination control of a large-scale multi-robot team, this book addresses the motion control problems, increasing their level of challenge step-by-step. At each step, related subproblems such as path planning, thrust allocation, collision avoidance, and time constraints for real-time implementation are also discussed with solutions. In each chapter of this book, compact and illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the design and implementation procedures. As a result, this book is useful for both theoretical study and practical engineering design, and the tools provided in the book are readily applicable for real-world implementation.
