Offshore construction is the installation of structures and facilities in a marine environment, usually for the production and transmission of electricity, oil, gas and other resources. It is also called maritime engineering .
The Lun-A (Lunskoye-A) platform, located off the north eastern coast of Sakhalin Island and is a concrete gravity base substructure (CGBS).. An oil platform (also called an oil rig, offshore platform, oil production platform, etc.) is a large structure with facilities to extract and process petroleum and natural gas that lie in rock formations beneath the seabed.
Underwater construction is industrial construction in an underwater environment.It is a part of the marine construction industry. [1] It can involve the use of a variety of building materials, mainly concrete and steel.
Oil produced from offshore production platforms can be transported to the mainland either by pipeline or by tanker. When a tanker is chosen to transport the oil, it is necessary to accumulate oil in some form of storage tank, such that the oil tanker is not continuously occupied during oil production, and is only needed once sufficient oil has ...
OLAF – offshore footless loading arm; OMC – Offshore Material Coordinator; OMRL – oriented micro-resistivity log; ONAN – oil natural air natural cooled transformer; ONNR – Office of Natural Resources Revenue (formerly MMS) OOE – offshore operation engineer (senior technical authority on an offshore oil platform [citation needed])
Offshore geotechnical engineering is a sub-field of geotechnical engineering. It is concerned with foundation design, construction, maintenance and decommissioning for human-made structures in the sea . [ 1 ]
This type of scaffold is generally used where extensive versatility is required. In many countries, it is common in construction . Horizontal tubes and walking decks can be placed at any height along the vertical tube (as permitted by engineering constraints), and vertical tubes, or legs, can be spaced at any distance apart, up to the maximum ...
Offshore embedded anchors are anchors intended for offshore use that derive their holding capacity from the frictional, or bearing, resistance of the surrounding soil, as opposed to gravity anchors, which derive their holding capacity largely from their weight.
