Project Number 213
Date of Summary January 14, 1998
Subject Design and Reassessment of Tubular Joints in Offshore Structures, Phase 4
Performing Activity Billington Osborne-Moss Engineering Limited
Principal Investigator Dr. Colin J. Billington
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Completed
Description This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP). The purpose is to produce an up-to-date guide for the design and reassessment of offshore tubular joints, and to continue the information and advisory activities of the tubular joints group offered in earlier phases.
Progress A design guide is being developed and edited. Recent research focused on developing a new approach to material selection, welding, fabrication, and non-destructive examination. The project is now complete.
