      Master's degree ENGINEERING

      MSc thesis reviewed the use of dual gradient drilling technology and the limitations that have restricted its usage in the construction of subsea wells. The thesis highlighted the development of new technology, such as automated drilling, that could mitigate the current barriers restricting dual gradient drilling.

      Final year project was on the development of wind farms in an urban environment where the following items were investigated; commercial, technical, social and environmental impact. Through comparsion between horizontal and vertical wind turbine systems I modified an existing savonius vertical wind turbine to take advantage of both drag and lift forces, and compared the performance modified a savonius wind turbine with both a standard horizontal lift force based turbine and savonius… Show more Final year project was on the development of wind farms in an urban environment where the following items were investigated; commercial, technical, social and environmental impact.
