... of the numerous moored MODU failures during hurricanes Ivan, Katrina and Rita, the industry has reexamined the API guidelines for design of MODU moorings. Changes have been made to the current API guidelines as discussed in Refs. 1 and 2. The cornerstone of API RP 2SK, Appendix K (Ref. 3) is a risk assessment...

... Abstract Large hurricane waves in the Gulf of Mexico can trigger mudslides on the seafloor offshore in the Mississippi River Delta. Both Hurricanes Ivan in 2004 and Katrina in 2005 produced mudslides in this area that damaged pipelines. In this paper, the mechanism of mudslides is examined...

... Abstract Hurricanes Ivan, Katrina and Rita passed through over 3,000 platforms in the Gulf of Mexico during 2004 and 2005. While most structures performed adequately, 123 were destroyed and over 183 had major above and or below water damage. There was no life loss and no significant pollution...

... Abstract The return of strong Gulf of Mexico hurricanes has resulted in a re-examination of the 100 year return periods over the Gulf oil leases. Hurricane Ivan in 2004 went through Atwater Valley, Mississippi Canyon, Viosca Knoll, and Main Pass. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 traveled across Lund...

... Abstract The evolution of the response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita of sea state, ocean currents and water level in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is prescribed through the application of advanced numerical ocean response hindcast models. The wave hindcast utilizes a third-generation...

... Abstract Over the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, the Gulf of Mexico experienced six Category 4+ hurricanes (Charlie, Ivan, Dennis, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma). We have taken a close look at the past 106 years of data and find that while some storms are of similar intensity, there have...

... Abstract Hurricanes Katrina and Rita packed a devastating one-two punch to the Shell Pipeline Company (SPLC) operated infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico. Katrina, which hit the Louisiana/Mississippi coast on August 29th devastated the eastern gulf pipelines/facilities with high water, wind...
