INNOVATION IN OFFSHORE

摘要

Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) operates more than 265 platforms offshore of India, most of which have reached their design life of 25 years. For this USD 150 million project, jacket platforms were assessed for extended "fit for use" and strengthened as required to meet industry safety requirements. Structural analyses carried out using SACS and SACS Collapse were part of ONGC's methodology for platform life extension/requalification, which added 10-15 years to the average life of each structure.
