Project Number 281
Date of Summary November 01, 1999
Subject Assessment of the Effects of Damage and Repairs of Existing Gulf of Mexico Platforms
Performing Activity University of California at Berkeley
Principal Investigator Prof. Robert Bea
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Completed.
Description This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) aimed to further develop and apply the simplified Ultimate Limit State Limit Equilibrium Analysis (ULSLEA) computer program to the assessment of the effects of different types of damage and repairs to typical existing platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. ULSLEA was developed as part of Project 202.
Progress The project has been completed.
