Project Number | 423 |
Date of Summary | May 1, 2006 |
Subject | Reliability of Mooring Systems for Floating Production Systems |
Performing Activity | Texas A&M University, Offshore Technology Research Center (OTRC) |
Principal Investigator | Gilbert & Zhang |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Completion | Completed |
Description |
The performance of the floating production system depends on more directly on the performance of the system of mooring lines and anchors rather than on the performance of a single line or anchor. To assess and study the component and system reliabilities for the mooring system, a “theme” Spar and its mooring system is used for the reliability analysis. The results of this project may be used for the evaluation and possible improvement of the design codes for FPS mooring lines and anchors. |
Progress | Final report completed. |
