| Summary: | are supported by a jacket structure which is in turn mounted As more oil and gas are discovered in deeper water than ever be concluded that this new Floating Jacket concept is before, the offshore industry has become increasingly below the ocean surface. This concept offers many attractive compared to the analytical calculations both in time and comparisons. The results are in good agreement, especially deep in the ocean water. The deck and production equipment deep water production systems. features. Model testing of the FJ was performed in Offshore FJ concept is to place much of the needed buoyancy/ballast for the 100-year storm-n without current. frequent domains. Surface current is included in some of the From the experimental studies on the FJ platform, it can indeed a feasible and superior platform configuration for input wave elevations are presented by using the bi-coherence interested in the design of advanced offshore production investigated. responses are obtained and the linear is studied in this thesis. The most unique feature of the new Mexico (GOM), with or without surface current, have been on top of the large buoyancy/ballast tank deeply submerged platforms. A new design concept called FLOATING JACKET (FJ) relationship between the low frequency responses and the relationships between the responses and between the mooring spectral analysis. Experimental results in 100-year storm are Technology Research Center (OTRC). The responses of the FJ tension and the responses are identified.
