Main Ideas
Limitations on Fixed Structure (cont’d)
Fixed platforms are economically feasible for installation in water depths
up to about 1,700 ft (400 m)
COMPLIANT TOWERtypically used in water depths ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 feet (400 to 550 m)
More than 400 meter?

Main Idea
• Tall structures result in resonant wave response(structural natural period close to wave period)
• Increase in base shear and overturning moments(stronger structure increases costs)
Limitations on Fixed Structure (cont’d)
(stronger structure increases costs)
• Limitation on transportation barges
• Limitation on lifting barges capabilities

Basic Concepts
1. Buoyancy must equal weight plus any external vertical forces
Buoyancy = weight + vertical loads Buoyancy < weight + vertical loads
Vertical loads include:

Archimedes Principle
Where:
B = Buoyancy Force
ρ = fluid density ρ = fluid density
Vdisp = Displaced volume (volume terendam)
g = gravitational acceleration

Due to Hurricane Rita, the sea star TLP lost its tether. Without tether the TLP had unbalanced weight distribution which made it tip over

Basic Concepts
STABILITYDYNAMIC Stability
The dynamic stability criteria for a ship or FPSO are set based on the stability requirement to
withstand a sudden environmental change, e.g. a gust of wind. Vessels that are intact are
required under the ABS certification to be
able to withstand a 100-knot (51 m/s) wind in a storm impact condition.
In a damaged condition, the vessel should have sufficient stability to withstand a 50-knot
(25.7 m/s) wind.

2 Centre of gravity (cog) is above the centre of buoyancy (cob)
SPAR � stability is achieved by positioning cog* below cob*
TLP � stability is derived from the tendons
3 Main Functions of Semis:
a. To stably support a payload above the highest waves
b. To minimally respond to waves
Number, size, spacing of stability columns

Tension Leg Platform (TLP)
TYPES OF TLP2. E-TLP
• Reason for leg extensions
– Wider tendon base for greater pitch
stiffness (stability)stiffness (stability)
– Smaller spacing of deck supports for
more efficient structure
– Lower rotational inertia for hull and
deck for lower pitch natural period
• Approximately 40 percent lighter hull than
for a comparable, conventional TLP.
• A large moonpool can accommodate
conventional top tension risers.
• De-coupling of tendon porch separation
distance from the topsides deck design
produces maximum design flexibility.ABB

Tension Leg Platform (TLP)
TYPES OF TLP3. MODEC MOSES
• Key points of the TLP design– minimal impact of wave loading– minimum tendon tension to obtain required platform response. – Low-cost tendon design with standard mill run tubulars, threaded
casing couplings and low cost top and bottom tendon connectors. – A well and riser system with standard 9 5/8" casing– short stroke riser tensioner. – a lighter deck structure. – Well drilling or workover capability utilizing leased compact,
lightweight, platform rigs. – A flexible installation method using SSDV, Multi-Service Vessels, or
derrick barge

Tension Leg Platform (TLP)
TYPES OF TLP4. MINI TLP
SEA STAR
• Monocolumn Hull– Stiffened plate construction– Standard mild-grade,thin-plate steels– Fabricated in small modules– Assembled as complete unit at
quayside– No ballasting required during operation– Compartmentalized hull prevents
flooding– Hull can be lengthened to increase
payload– All compartments are accessible for
inspection
• Tendons– Tubular steel elements– Multiple,mechanically coupled sections– Design fatigue life typically exceeds
1000years, (API-requirement 200 years)– Tendon pairs have redundancy– Tendons are neutrally buoyant to minimize
payload and hull displacement– Fairings are installed on the tendons to
preventvortex-induced vibrations.

PURPOSE OF TETHERS
• Stationkeeping – vessel offset kept to prescribed
limits (~5% of WD)
• Vertical stiffness – reduce heave, pitch and roll • Vertical stiffness – reduce heave, pitch and roll
motions to accommodate rigid vertical risers with
dry trees
