The next-generation underwater production system (NUPS) is based on the suspension cluster manifold (SCM) as a new conceptual scheme. SCM mooring stability is essential for establishing NUPS. Therefore, comparing the SCM mooring stability in different mooring systems is vital for evaluating system adaptability. This paper detailed two mooring schemes designed for the SCM, including the steel catenary riser (SCR) mooring system and the new steep wave (NSWR) mooring system. OrcaFlex software was used to establish the mooring system model, analyzing the static motion response of the SCM under the current and fluid density. Furthermore, the mooring system adaptability in the cluster wellhead layout was also evaluated and compared. The results showed that the maximum offset of the SCM with the SCR mooring system was within 2 m under the current, while the deflection of the SCM with the NSWR mooring system was within 1.5° in extreme fluid densities. Furthermore, the SCM with the SCR mooring system displayed superior station-keeping capability in the current, while the NSWR mooring system exhibited better stability when transporting extreme fluid densities and was more adaptable in cluster wellhead layouts.

This paper presents the motions response of moored Round Shape FPSO model due to the wave effect. The proposed of this research is analyzed the possibility of model motion response affected by different mooring system attach to the model. Model experiment was applied in this research to collect motion data for the study. Besides, the numerical simulation using diffraction potential, diffraction potential with Morison Heave correction and ANSYS frequency domain study were also applied in this research to generate comparative data to the experimental results. To investigate the effect of the mooring system to motion response, the model experiment was firstly conducted by attached model scale catenary mooring lines to Round Shape FPSO model. After that, the experiment was repeated by attached model scale taut mooring lines to the same model. The results obtain from the regular wave experiment tests and numerical simulation test were presented in this paper. This research concluded that the mooring systems would not give significant effect to wave frequency motion response after compared the motion result obtain from model experiment conducted using different mooring system.

Abstract Tender-assisted drilling system meets the strict requirements of deck space of the drilling platform, and provides a relatively safe and comfortable working environment for the staff, which has been widely used in drilling operations in recent years. The significant difference between multi-floating body and single offshore platform is that there may be risk of collision between the floating bodies under extreme metocean conditions or in emergency of mooring system failure. In order to prevent the collision during drilling operations, the initial gap between floating bodies should be designed carefully and provide a reasonable scheme to ensure the safety of the drilling system and the feasibility of drilling operations. Therefore, based on the three dimensional potential flow theory, frequency domain and time domain numerical simulation of the motion response of TLP and TAD is carried out according to the marine environment of West Africa with extreme metocean conditions, the effect of different initial gap on the motion performance of floating bodies is explored and the mechanical characteristics of the mooring system are analyzed. Thus, the reasonable initial gap between TLP and TAD is determined by comparing the simulation results. In general, the numerical simulation results of tender-assisted drilling system may provide reference for engineering practice to some extent.

Abstract The article presents a method for evaluating the efficiency of port container terminals. The research was conducted for nine European terminals which use different handling technologies. The terminals have been divided due to the level of automation of transport processes. In the efficiency research DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method is applied, that was previously used in studies of the relative productivity in the industry. This method allows you to multicriteria process analysis based on the properly selected production system model processing input parameters on output. Conclusions from analysis can be a ground for making a decision on organizational or investment issues.

The core problem of fully mechanized top-coal caving technology is to accurately grasp residual coal distribution characteristics and improve the recovery rate to the highest possible. Based on the top-caving working site in some coal mine, combined with the numerical simulation on the residual coal in end roadway, the distribution of residual coal is analyzed. Corresponding improvements on the production system have been proved to be efficient for recovering the residual coal.
