This work presents a novel method for reducing the pitch response of FPSO (Floating,
Production, Storage and Offloading) platforms submitted to head waves. The method is …

Due to the rather intense ongoing development of deep water gas and oil fields, the
technical community has devoted considerable attention to the dynamic behavior of Spar …

One of the most difficult challenges in the offshore industry is to reduce hydrocarbon
production costs, which increase as exploration advances to deeper water regions. Most of …

The use of moonpools in offshore technology are normally related to the hull opening in
drilling units with the objective to protect drilling equipment from environmental forces, and …

Petrobras has been investigating the Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) alternative since the
beginning of the nineties. Since then, fatigue verification has been an important issue …

Time and cost effective experimental verification and accuracy procedures are the first and
utmost requirements in ship building research conducted in towing tank. This paper presents …

海上钻井作业过程要求钻井船具备良好的稳定性能, 而月池内流体柱的不规则振荡以及钻井船细
长的船体外形都将对船体运动性能造成不利影响, 从而限制其在恶劣海域的作业适应性 …

New build Floating Production Storage and Offloading units (FPSOs) are traditionally
shaped like a shoe box with flared bow to simplify the construction, while taking advantage …

Most of the offshore platforms at sea are static and considered as rigid. This paper presents
a series of towing tank experimental research to understand the wave and structure …
