Neural-network-based prediction of mooring forces in floating production storage and offloading systems

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 2002
The paper explicates the development of a neural network based prediction of mooring forces of a deep-sea oil exploitation production process. The evolution of a neural network simulator for analysis of the dynamic behavior of a system consisting of a turret-FPSO (floating production storage and off loading) and a shuttle ship in tandem configuration ...

Experimental Study on the Hydrodynamics of a Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading System

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 2006
This paper highlights an experimental investigation on the dynamic response of a typical floating, production, storage, and offloading system (FPSO) moored externally with a fixed structure and by a vertical anchor leg mooring arrangement. A 1:100 scale model of 140,000 t DWT FPSO system was tested for these two types of mooring arrangements under ...

Numerical analysis of added mass and damping of floating production, storage and offloading system

Acta Mechanica Sinica, 2012
An integral equation approach is utilized to investigate the added mass and damping of floating production, storage and offloading system (FPSO system). Finite water depth Green function and higher-order boundary element method are used to solve integral equation.

Customized Subsea Production Flowline Cleanout with Coiled Tubing from a Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessel

SPE/ICoTA Well Intervention Conference and Exhibition, 2020
Abstract The recovery of a pipeline inspection gauge (PIG) left in a subsea production flowline in an unknown location after a failed cleaning and inspection operation is discussed. Combined with paraffin deposits, the production flowline of the best offshore producer in northeast Brazil was completely blocked.

SIRUS: A mobile robot for Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) ship hull inspection

2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control, 2008
This paper describes the current development status of a mobile robot designed to inspect the outer surface of large oil ship hulls and floating production storage offloading (FPSO) platforms. These are usually former oil tanker ships, especially adapted to work as an oil offshore platform. Several mechanisms of corrosion are present in such structures,

Selection of Natural Gas Dehydration Process for Offshore Floating Production Storage and Offloading

Energy Technology
Based on the oil and gas component data of an offshore gas field in West Africa, the steady‐state models of the triethylene glycol (TEG) dehydration process and the low‐temperature separation dehydration process are established. The adaptability of two kinds of processes to the disturbance of pressure, temperature, and flow of imported natural gas ...
