Oil Storage Tank

The industry of oil and gas are blooming in a rapid rate as time goes by because of the massive use of fuel oil and natural gas in this age of time. However, as more fuel oil are produced the industry is moving away from onshore to offshore and towards the ultra-deep-water region, where vessel like FSOs are introduced. FSO are short for Floating Storage and Offloading which are vessels used in deep water operation. The FSO plays an important role in the business where a single disastrous incident will affect the industry and the company. The focus of the research will be on the FSO that holds million barrels of crude oil. In this work, fire risk analysis is used to assess the crude oil storage tank on a typical FSO as this is a relatively new mode in exploration and production (E&P) activity. By calculating the individual risk per annum (IRPA) and potential loss of life (PLL), methods are introduced to mitigate fire risk on FSOs. The results show that the level of failure is low and requires less action for the FSO crude oil storage tank to stay safe during operation in the offshore environment.

Important Significance

The composite foundation fully takes the carrying capacity of pile and soil into account, which decreases the settlement of oil storage tank foundation and differential settlement of oil storage tank bottom apparently. Analyzing the changes of stress and settlement under different conditions and optimizing the parameters of pile have important significance in engineering practice. In this paper, with an actual project of oil storage tank for background, basing on the Drucker-Prager yield criterion, the FEM model of composite foundation has been carried out by using ANSYS procedure. And with simulating the status of composite foundation under the working load, the project properties of composite foundation are investigated. Further more, analysis on the impacts of different pile parameters on stress and settlement of composite foundation have been carried out. In the end, the optimization scheme of composite foundation design has been proposed.
