Modeling and Dynamic Analysis of the Xijiang FPSO Mooring System

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper uses the information on the Xijiang floating production storage and offloading mooring system coupled with dynamic analysis of the system to generate scenarios for the most likely causes of the damage to the wires and if this is likely to result in further progressive damage of the mooring system. The modeling reflects the fundamentals of the Xijiang FPSO mooring system and can be used to further investigate potential causes for the mooring leg damage. The mooring dynamic analysis has been used to investigate the indicative behavior of the mooring lines under various conditions when BTM connected. The model has been used to investigate the tensions, bending moments and bending radiuses close to the lower socket. However the models have been checked to determine that they produce results which are of the correct order for the mooring system.
