Model Testing of Deep Water Offshore
Platforms
Catenary mooring lines replaced by horizontal lines • Prerequisites : Correct restoring force
characteristics needs to be documented
• Results: Since the mooring line damping is not modelled the motions will be too large. Wave drift forces on the hull can be obtained

Model Testing of Deep Water Offshore
Platforms
Dynamically controlled mooring lines • Prerequisites : Documentation of the winches
ability to simulate the dynamic mooring characteristics.
• Results: In principle it should be feasible but it will be very difficult to represent the instantaneous dynamic effect of wave frequency motions on line tensions. Hull forces and first order motions can be obtained but low frequency motions and mooring line tension cannot be obtained easily.

Model Testing of Deep Water Offshore
Platforms
Passive Hybrid SystemsTruncated parts of the mooring lines and risers are represented by a system of springs, masses and dampers.
In a passive hybrid system the horizontal mooring stiffness can be modelled correctly whereas damping due to mooring lines and mooring line dynamics cannot be obtained accurately.

Model Testing of Deep Water Offshore
Platforms
Active Hybrid SystemsTruncated parts of the mooring lines and risers are represented by computer controlled actuators that can work in model scale and in real time.
In an active hybrid system the dynamic mooring line behaviour can be simulated, including the damping and mooring line sea-bed friction characteristics

Concluding Remarks
For the offshore oil and gas industry, the challenge is to continue to provide for the future energy needs of the world’s consumers from resources in difficult locations in ways which are environmentally responsible, safe and economically viable.
This lecture presented the factors in the selection of a concept design for deep water offshore oil and gas field developments, and the recent research and development activities and challenges in hydrodynamics analysis of deep water platform designs.
