Offshore Oil

More than a decade ago, oil drillers and naval architects started to use vessels instead of fixed structures for offshore drilling. A multitude of novel platform concepts were developed which allowed the tremendous spreading of offshore oil activities. Today, search for oil spreads into areas of greater depth and farther away from the shores. This requires new developments of technology over a broad spectrum. The latest concepts of underwater oil production systems are briefly described.

In response to interest and concerns about the effect which oil industry development would have in the province of Newfoundland, a number of studies were initiated, including attempts to assess the impacts on rural residents. An analysis of the offshore labour force indicated that Newfoundland residents represented 60% of the offshore force; however, their participation was predominantly in the junior drilling, junior marine and junior service positions. The provincial workers differed from the non-resident workers on a number of factors. Also of interest, the 35% of the Newfoundland workers interviewed had come from water transport occupations and were attracted by the perceived advantages of work in the oil industry, while the 34% who had come from the fishing industry, cited financial insecurity and poor working conditions of the fishery as their reasons for changing jobs.

Offshore production terminals and deepwater risers are seeing increasing use by the offshore oil industry. The structural design of these units presents a unique challenge compared to other offshore systems. Development of design loading conditions and fatigue histories is especially interesting due to the complex interaction of nonlinear riser and vessel dynamics, the statistical nature of maximum loads and the need to consider directionality as well as the magnitude of environmental loading. This paper presents a complete procedure for predicting design loads and fatigue histories for production risers and offshore terminals. The emphasis will be on systems wherein a dedicated vessel is connected to the riser by a rigid mooring arm. A number of structural design configurations will be surveyed. Techniques for preliminary sizing, dynamic analysis, model testing and fatigue analysis will be discussed. The application of this procedure to several specific design cases will be summarized.
