Project Number | 551 |
Date of Summary | February 13, 2007 |
Subject | Assessment of Drilling and Workover Rig Storm Sea Fastenings on Offshore Floating Platforms During Hurricane Ivan |
Performing Activity | OTRC/Technip |
Principal Investigator | Dr. E.G. Ward |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Estimated Completion | Completed |
Description |
Drilling and workover rigs on Floating Production Systems (FPSs) are
fastened to the decks of offshore structures sea fastenings to prevent
movement during hurricanes. During Hurricane Ivan, a number of drilling or
workover rigs shifted. These movements are being assessed along with the
current design philosophy and criteria for storm sea fastenings, rig and
storm sea fastening installation practices, and onboard storm operational
practices to ready FPSs for a hurricane. Results will provide information
that can be used to assess any needs to revise tie-down criteria or
practices. |
