Study on Thermal Insulation Solutions for Submarine Oil Storage in Offshore Gravity Platform

Article Preview

Abstract:

As application of gravity platform is increasing rapidly in marginal oilfields, the heat preservation performance of the submarine oil tank is becoming more and more important in offshore oil storage technology. In order to enhance heat preservation performance of the concrete oil tank to reduce energy consumption, three insulation solutions were proposed in this paper. Contrastive analysis shows that polyurethane solution can not only maximize economic benefits but also possess high engineering feasibility and environmental value.
