For oil/gas production/processing platforms, multiple liquid layers can exist and their respective sloshing motions can also affect operational effectiveness or platform performance. To numerically simulate those problems, a new multiliquid moving particle simulation (MPS) method is developed. In particular, to better simulate the relevant physics, robust self-buoyancy model, interface searching model, and surface-tension model are developed. The developed multiliquid MPS method is validated by comparisons against experiment in which three-liquid-sloshing experiment and the corresponding linear potential theory are given. The validated multiliquid MPS program is subsequently coupled with a vessel-motion program in time domain to investigate their dynamic-coupling effects. In case of multiple liquid layers, there exists a variety of sloshing natural frequencies for respective interfaces, so the relevant physics can be much more complicated compared with the single-liquid-tank case. The simulation program can also reproduce the detailed small-scale interface phenomenon called Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. The numerical simulations also show that properly designed liquid cargo tank can also function as a beneficial antirolling device.

Naturally-occurring radionuclides deposited beneath the earth, which are referred to as "NORM" and other toxicnon-radioactive elements transported to the earth surface with the oil and gas production. Hence, knowledge of the prevailing background levels of these elements in the subsurface reservoir formations is valuable to all stakeholders, most notably to regulatory authorities of the country. The drill cuttings obtained within depth range 3025m to 3095m of reservoir sand section in the deep water exploratory well (CLPL- Dorado 91 H/1z) drilled in the Mannar Basin offshore Sri Lanka were subjected to high-resolution Gamma-ray spectrometry and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry.As test results revealed activity concentration of 40K varies from 0.338 Bq/g to 0.514 Bq/g, 210Pb from 0.007 Bq/g to 0.015 Bq/g, 226Ra from 0.012 Bq/g to 0.0145 Bq/g while 232Th levels are between 0.030 Bq/g to 0.040 Bq/g. According to the XRF testing levels of significantly hazardous non-radioactive elements are considerably lower, except for the level of the Barium. The Pb level varies between the 48 ppm to 22 ppm. The Thorium level varies between 9.6 ppm to 10.1 ppm. Manganese has a range of 5,173ppm to 653ppm.The barium levels are between 118,666 ppm to 24,400 ppm. NORM concentration of the tested section were on the lower side when results matched with the IAEA published data on NORM concentration in oil, gas and there byproducts and therefore there will be low level of NORM contaminations when the Dorado gas discovery proceeds to the production stage. Further there is no harmful public exposure from NORM by disposing these drill cuttings to environment or storing at any site location. But the disposal of the drilling mud and handling of the drilling mud should be conducted with cautious since extremely high Ba levels can potentially cause health problems.Keywords: NORM, drill-cuttings, oil, gas, Sri Lanka, XRF

Produced water isolated from the oil in oil-gas production is pumped into the injection wells after cleaning from salt deposits and mechanical impurities. In the mixture of high-mineralised produced water, salt deposits making the technological equipment and pipes useless while gathering and transportation, reduce the permeability of injection wells. Carried out experimental researches show that for each ton it is necessary to pump 100 g of KD-7 inhibitor to prevent salt deposition in the mixture of produced water. Technological processes should be performed in a closed system, and the territories contaminated with oil and produced water cleaned and equipped well.
