With most of the easy gas and oil reserves discovered and prices
rebounding, companies are now drilling far offshore in extreme
weather condition environments. As deepwater wells are drilled to
greater depths, engineers and designers are confronted with new
problems such as water depth, weather conditions, ocean currents,
equipment reliability, and well accessibility. "Offshore Structure
Design, Construction and Maintenance" covers all types of offshore
structures and platforms employed worldwide.
The ultimate reference for selecting, operating and maintaining
offshore structures, this book provides a road map for designing
structures which will stand up even in the harshest environments.
The selection of the proper type of offshore structure is discussed
from a technical and economic point of view. The design procedure
for the fixed offshore structure will be presented and how to
review the design to reach the optimum solution. Nonlinear analysis
(Push over) analysis will be presented as a new technique to design
and assess the existing structure. Pile design and tubular joint
with the effect of fatigue loading will be presented also from a
theoretical and a practical point of view.
With this book in hand, engineers receive the most up-to-date
methods for performing a structural life cycle analysis; implement
maintenance plans for topsides and jackets, using non destructive
testing. Under water inspection is discussed for hundreds of
platforms in detail. Advanced repair methodology for scour, marine
growth and damaged or deteriorating members are discussed. Risk
based under water inspection techniques are covered from a
practical pint of view. In addition, the book will be supported by
an online modeling and simulation program with will allow designers
to save time and money by verifying assumptions online.
