Offshore Structures: General Introduction
Offshore Structures: General Introduction OBJECTIVE/SCOPE To identify the basic vocabulary, to introduce the major concepts for Offshore platform structures, and to explain where the basic structural requirements for design are generated. SUMMARY The lecture starts with a presentation of the importance of Offshore hydro-carbon exploitation, the basic steps in the development process (from seismic exploration to platform removal) and the Introduction of the major structural concepts (jacket-based, GBS-based, TLP, floating). The major codes are identified. For the fixed platform concepts (jacket and GBS), the different execution phases are briefly explained: design, fabrication and installation.
A basic introduction to cost aspects is presented. Finally terms are introduced through a glossary. 1. INTRODUCTION Offshore platforms are constructed to produce the hydrocarbons oil and gas. The contribution of offshore oil production in the year 1988 to the world energy consumption was 9% and is estimated to be 24% in 2000.
