Introduction

Exploration of oil and gas in deeper water in areas where the weather conditions are extreme gives several challenges that need to be solved, e.g.:

• Wave‐current interaction• Extreme waves; higher order and viscous drift forces• Large mooring line forces• Green water and wave impact• VIV

• MARINTEK has long traditions with developing methods, carrying out analyses and verification with model tests of marine structures in deep water.

Ocean Basin model test

Typical test set‐up:•Measurement of:

− 6 DoF motions by use of optical position meas. system

− Mooring line and riser forces− Relative wave elevation close to structure− Impact loads

•Observation (by video):− Green water− Motions of mooring lines and risers (by 

underwater video)

Challenge:Deepwater system design verification by model tests

Ocean Basin 10m deepModel scale 1:150

Example: FPSO 3000 m water depth

Hydrodynamic loads not directly influenced by mooring/riser system

Can truncate mooring/risersto obtain hydrodynamic characteristics of floater

Page 9: Motion and responses for deepwater production systems

Truncation of mooring and riser system

• Truncated system should maintain the same hydrodynamic characteristics of the floater as the full depth system

• It is required that the responses measured with the truncated system can be reproduced by a coupled simulation model

− This numerical model will be used to obtain design values for the full depth system 

=> Hybrid verification procedure

From laboratories to numerical simulation tools

MARINTEK analysis tools

• SIMO  – Simulation of rigid multibody system

• RIFLEX – Global analysis of risers, mooring, umbilicals

• MIMOSA – Mooring analysis

• SIMLA – Simulation of Pipe laying

• BFLEX – Local analysis of flexible risers• UFLEX – Local analysis of complex risers

• MULDIF 2 – Next generation potential flow solver

• SIMA – Graphical user interface

Wave current interactions: Mooring line forces

6800 kN

4500 kN

Difference is larger than the line force from the current alone

Page 22: Motion and responses for deepwater production systems

Wave current interactions: Air gap

Increased wave amplification around semi columns with current present (MULDIF‐1, Zhang et al., 2007)

Page 23: Motion and responses for deepwater production systems

MULDIF‐2 Development

• Internal development at MARINTEK throughout 5 years

• Industry code implementation performed as a JIP− Present participants: Statoil, Aker Solutions, NOV‐APL, Rolls‐Royce Marine, DNV, MARINTEK

• Overall objective to develop a hydrodynamic potential theory code that handles various problems not handled well by excisting industry codes

− Effect from wave‐current interaction− Significant wave drift forces => large mooring and thrust forces− Airgap (increased  wave amplification)

− It needs to be user friendly, robust and well validated

• Phase 1 (2010‐2013)− Focus on wave‐current interactions for single problems in deep and finite water depths

• Phase 2 (2013‐2015 plans)− Focus on semi‐empirical practical nonlinear corrections for higher sea states and for viscous effects − Multibody with current

Page 24: Motion and responses for deepwater production systems

SIMA – MARINTEK Workbench

• Developed in a JIP between MARINTEK and Statoil ASA. • The main simulation programs presently available through the SIMA interface are: 

− SIMO− RIFLEX− SIMO/RIFLEX coupled analysis

• Future support− SIMLA− MULDIF2

• Purpose:− Make the task of setting up a 

simulation model of a dynamic system easier and faster.

− Visualize everything− Workbench that presents the user 

with a common interface no matter which simulation software is used.
