Description |
The objective was to
develop and apply a methodology for comparison of alternative production systems. While
the methodology will be applied in this project to two configurations of a tension leg
platform (TLP), it will be applicable to any comparative analysis of alternatives. The
methodology is intended to be an engineering procedure that will assist in the process of
making rational comparisons. The project will make use of recent developments in
structural systems reliability and fill-scope risk assessment; and will merge technologies
residing in the United States with those residing in Europe. The interactions between the
topside systems and the structural systems will be addressed, including consideration of
all possible hazards to operations, e.g., those involving the well systems and equipment
and the environment. |
