... criteria for metallic tools are based on material yield strength. The initial yield criterion using von-Mises stress, which dictates the load limit that a downhole tool can carry before exhibiting plastic deformation, is often used to design completion tools. However, for some applications of downhole...

... Abstract Well Containment Analysis – WCA - is a set of integrity analysis criteria in a shut in scenario performed during the well design phase. The installation of a capping and shut in of the well shall not induce hydrocarbon leakages to the seabed. One of the integrity analysis criteria...

Abstract Using the press-replace technique, a recently developed finite element method depending on the criteria of the small deformation analysis SDA, to investigate the soil-foundation interaction of the Jack-Up rig with Spudcan during its proceeding to achieve stability installation in Multi...

... Abstract In this paper, a methodology is proposed to use FPSO Fluminense motion-based criteria to establish the operational window for the disconnection and safe removal of a flexible riser with structural damages in parts of the tensile armour wires. A global model was established in Orcaflex...

... asymmetric sponson design cargo tank criteria Introduction To date, symmetric monohull FPSOs have been installed extensively in the offshore industry. Global performance design optimization of such conventional monohull FPSOs was discussed by, e.g., Xia (2012) . In the offshore industry, spread...

... frameworks designed to provide insights into the suitability of storage sites are only as effective as the underlying data used. Therefore, in this work, data confidence is incorporated into a quantitative, criteria-driven methodology developed to assess the potential suitability of depleted oil and gas...

... Abstract For an offshore facility, identifying Safety Critical Equipment (SCE) and ensuring that they are designed, built, installed, and commissioned based on certain performance criteria are key to a safe design. In some parts of the world such as the North Sea, regulatory requirements...
