“…From this aspect, we conclude that AMSs have positive effects on the radiation responses compared with the original cone damping structures. On the other hand, by comparing with the added mass of the FCDS with a closed AMS, we see that the corresponding added mass for the heave and pitch are 1.8 × 10 8 kg and 8.0 × 10 10 kg.m 2 . It shows that the pervious AMS can significantly increase the added mass.…”

“…Offshore oil has reached about 30% of the whole production in 2019, and it will be undoubtedly increasing and will become the major contributor in the following years [1,2]. Floating production storage and offloading systems (FPSOs) are one of the most prevailing structures for deep-water oil field development due to their large storage capacity when compared with other floating platforms such as semisubmersibles, TLPs, and SPARs [3].…”

At present, dry wellheads are usually adopted on small-storage TLP and SPAR platforms to develop offshore oil and gas because of the robust hydrodynamic performance under severe-wind seas. On the other hand, FPSO and FDPSO platforms that have a larger storage capacity can hardly use this cost-saving facility due to their relatively poor vertical motion performance. Cylindrical FPSOs are proposed to improve the heave performance of ship-type FPSOs, but their behaviors are still too large to adopt the dry wellheads. In the present work, a cylindrical FDPSO platform is proposed based on the FWPSO platform, adding an extension cylinder and a new damping structure at the bottom. Their hydrodynamic performances are calculated by the potential theory and compared in the frequency domain. Taking two particular mooring systems, including both catenary and ‘chain-polyester-chain’ types, and the survival sea scenario in the South China Sea into account, a time-domain coupling analysis was adopted to simulate the dynamic performance of the platform-mooring system. The feasibility of dry wellhead adoption on the FDPSO is discussed by investigating the platform motion and the mooring tension. The results show that the FCDS platform with the ‘chain-polyester-chain’-type mooring system can meet the motion response requirements, and the mooring system can also meet the requirements of the specification.

“…By rough estimates, an offshore platform that weight around 30,000 t could cost around 350-500 million dollars, plus another 60-120 million dollars for three tugboats. However, there are various studies that cover the accounting and costing of oil facilities and the financial aspect of project management [240][241][242][243][244][245][246][247][248][249][250][251].…”

Offshore structures exist in a variety of forms, and they are used for a variety of functions in varied sea depths. These structures are tailored for certain environments and sea depths. Different actions for suitable equipment selection, platform type design, and drilling/production processes are required for the applications of these offshore structures, as given in Part I. This paper is the second part, which outlines various processes, loads, design approaches and project management of offshore platforms. To achieve these, proper planning must be conducted for lifting, transportation, installation, design, fabrication, and commissioning of these offshore platforms. Some historical developments of some offshore structures are presented, and some project planning routines are undertaken in this research. The ultimate goal is to provide a general overview of the many processes of offshore platform design, construction, loadout, transportation, and installation. Some discussions on the design parameters such as water depth and environmental conditions were presented. It also lists various software programs used in engineering designs. The review also includes information on cutting-edge offshore platforms and industry advancements. Ultimately, for long-term operations, various types of offshore platforms for specific seawater depths are available.

“…Different factors also influence the type of asset management that will be considered as well as the metrics and indicators that will be used to evaluate the offshore facility [ 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 ]. These include the type of offshore platform [ 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 ], production operations [ 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 ], systems management model [ 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 ], fossil fuel deposits’ locations with historical exploration [ 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 ], etc. In the oil and gas industry, there are more challenges involving the application of offshore platforms in deep water locations [ 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 ].…”

Recent activities in the oil and gas industry have shown an increasing need for monitoring engagements, such as in shipping, logistics, exploration, drilling, or production. Hence, there is a need to have asset management of these offshore assets (or facilities). Much of the offshore infrastructure is currently approaching or past its operational life expectancy. The study presents an overview on asset management of offshore facilities towards monitoring, safe practices, maintenance, and sustainability. This study outlines the major considerations and the steps to take when evaluating asset life extensions for an aging offshore structure (or asset). The design and construction of offshore structures require some materials that are used to make the structural units, such as offshore platform rigs, ships, and boats. Maintaining existing assets in the field and developing new platforms that are capable of extracting future oil and gas resources are the two key issues facing the offshore sector. This paper also discusses fault diagnosis using sensors in the offshore facilities. The ocean environment is constantly corrosive, and the production activities demand extremely high levels of safety and reliability. Due to the limited space and remote location of most offshore operations, producing cost-effective, efficient, and long-lasting equipment necessitates a high level of competence. This paper presents the guidelines on asset monitoring, sustainable maintenance, and safety practices for offshore structures. In this study, the management of offshore structures were also presented with some discussions on fault monitoring using sensors. It also proposes sustainable asset management approaches as guidelines that are advised, with policy implications.
