2006年1月1日 · In this study the experimentally measured motions of a mini-TLP are compared with those computed using COUPLE and alternative predictions based upon quasi-static analysis. The comparisons confirm that COUPLE is able to predict the dynamic interaction between the hull and its tendon and riser systems while the related quasi-static analysis fails.

1996年5月31日 · The hull structure of the SeaStar mini-TLP. The SeaStar deepwater mini-platform has been developed and tested to provide production and utility platforms for deepwater applications. These new designs combine proven tension-leg platform (TLP) technology with the cost, schedule, and learning curve advantages of marginal field platform designs ...

2003年4月1日 · The role of mini tension leg platforms (TLP) in oil exploration and production in marginal deepwater fields is becoming increasingly important. SeaStar is a mini TLP that combines the simplicity of a spar and favourable response features of a TLP.

1999年5月3日 · The Morpeth project is the world's first application of a SeaStar® 1 Mini-TLP and establishes that mono-column TLP's can be used to economically develop deepwater fields. This paper discusses the evolution and development of SeaStar technology and its niche in the deepwater platform market.

2001年11月30日 · Two of these rigs with new kits are working in the Gulf of Mexico, one for Conoco on the Jolliet tension leg well platform (TLWP) in 1,760 ft water depths on Green Canyon 184, and the other for El Paso Production on its Modec-designed Prince mini-TLP. Both rigs are working triples on the two deepwater platforms.

2016年8月10日 · This paper describes an experimental work on a 1: 100 scaled model of a miniature sea-star tension leg platform (TLP) in a wave flume. Two different numerical models are developed: finite element model (FEM) based on the Morison equation and boundary element model (BEM) based on a 3D diffraction/radiation theory.

2005年3月7日 · Mini TLP combines the simplicity of a spar and favorable response features of a TLP. In this paper, the results of a detailed experimental and numerical investigation of the coupled dynamic behavior of a mini TLP are reported with special attention to hull-tether coupling.

1996年5月6日 · This paper describes a small Tension Leg Platform, the Mini TLP, that is configured as an unmanned wellhead platform to support dry trees and minimum topside facilities. The concept has been developed as part of an ongoing process to reduce the overall cost of offshore developments in deep water.

Mini-TLP不是一种简单缩小化的传统类型TLP,它通过对平台上体、立柱以及张力腿系统进行结构上的改进,从而达到优化各项参数、以更小吨位获得更大载荷的目标。

2001年6月17日 · An experimental research study that addressed a variety of basic and applied research issues for deepwater compliant platforms using a mini-TLP concept was recently completed. The original platform concept was designed for offshore West Africa.
