... with and without side hulls in headsea regular waves respectively. The primary objective was to evaluate its accuracy of predicting seakeeping performance of the Tri-SWACH under regular headsea waves in AEGIR. A series of simulated time domain heave and pitch responses for Tri-SWACH with and without side hulls via...

... A Ship-shaped FPSO is one of most popular hull forms in oil and gas industry. The only alternative hull in operations with minor market shares is the cylindrical FPSO hull. In order to add contractual options and competitions to reduce field development costs, an innovative hull, eco-FPSO...

... For many offshore developments, there is a drive to minimize the required manning and enabling remote operations to reduce personnel exposure and to reduce the overall cost (lighter topsides, simpler hull, less maintenance). This paper considers semisubmersible production facilities...

... During coming off location operations for jackups (the transition from the elevated mode to the afloat and then the transit mode), the hull is jacked down into the water to obtain a buoyancy force great enough to retrieve the legs. In locations with soft clays, leg penetrations in excess of 15m...

... and expected leg penetrations, onboard instrumentation is used to obtain real-time wave and hull response information. Then, based on the results in sequential checks (STAGES), GO/NO-GO decisions are made, based on pre-determined limits. In this paper, the authors present the background that lead to the 3...

... The hull forms of the sanctioned FLNG projects are all ship-shape with either internal or external turret systems. The cylindrical hull for FLNG application without turret system has been studied for years. Recently, Sansom and Ankarsward (2016) presented a six-column rectangular shape Semi...

... A Tapered Column Deep Draft Semi-submersible (TCDD-Semi) concept has been developed for dry tree drilling and production applications. The new concept features enlarged lower hull geometry with gradually varying column cross-section, in contrast to conventional semi-submersible design...

... Two production semi-submersibles that were based on Exmar Offshore Company's proprietary OPTI& Hull had been successfully constructed and installed in the Gulf of Mexico in the past five years. The OPTI& hull features pontoon lip extending outboard of five-sided columns. The pontoon lip...

PC-Semi hull form development and evolution for ultra-deep water dry tree applications in central Gulf of Mexico have been undertaken for a few years...

.... Preliminary global performance analysis has been undertaken to ensure satisfaction of design criteria, such as extreme tendon tensions and minimum airgap, etc. In addition, a high level hull structural scantling of SCE-TLP was performed in order to yield reliable hull steel weight estimate. Preliminary...

... and commercially attractive riser solution. In this paper a novel design for an FPSO with the ability to host large diameter SCRs is presented and evaluated for applications in deepwater field developments. The new design, namely, Low Motion FPSO (LM-FPSO), has a hull form with a generally rectangular cross...
