With the continuous growth of the demand for oil and gas resources, the exploration and development has been increasing, the number and scale of fixed platforms in paralic zones are also increasing, and the offshore construction capacity and technology is improving. As one of the key technologies for offshore installation of large-scale platforms, slippage shipment technology is widely used. Based on the wharf environment, the platform structure and weight, this paper comprehensively analyses the allowable tidal window, the longitudinal strength of the ship, the load adjustment capacity, then gives the check results to ensure the safety of the shipment process.
As the demand for oil and gas resources continues to grow, the development of oil and gas resources in paralic zones is also increasing. Because the water depth is very shallow in paralic zones, large construction equipment cannot enter the construction area, so the offshore installation of large platforms is facing a great challenge. The float-over installation method has the advantages of large lifting capacity, short operation period, and low construction cost. At the same time, it can effectively reduce the amount of dredging work and is more suitable for the offshore installation of large platforms in paralic zones. In this paper, the installation process and key technologies of hi-deck float-over for the large platform in paralic zones are emphatically introduced. The key technologies include the barge motion response analysis technology, the barge ballast adjustment technology, the positioning and buffering technology and motion monitoring technology, etc.
This paper takes the pile-foundation platform of Dagang Oilfield in paralic zones as the research object, provides a reference basis for further selection by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of single platform type and multi-platform type. The key structural parameters including platform load calculation, deck bottom elevation determination and ultimate bearing capacity calculation of pressurized piles are analyzed and studied. The specific ideas of pile-foundation platform design are proposed, and the analysis process and important formulas of the methods used in the design are elaborated to give the research results, which has high reference significance for the old platform to extend its service life and the construction of the new platform.
