| Contracting Agency |
Minerals Management Service |
| Estimated Completion |
Completed. |
| Description |
This was a Joint
Industry Project (JIP) to develop and verify engineering analysis guidelines
for determining hydrodynamic loading effects for deep water compliant
platforms. Both wave and current effects were considered in order to
calibrate existing computer models and to validate design concepts used in
verification procedures. It used publicly available field, laboratory, and
analytical data on hydrodynamic forces to investigate the differences noted
between observed data and that predicted by analytical models. The types of
compliant platforms included in this study were fixed-base complaint towers, tension leg or vertically
moored platforms, and catenary moored floating platforms. |
| Progress |
Completed.
The proprietary period for this project has ended. However,
only report AA is available. |
