Blowout fire probability prediction of offshore drilling platform based on system dynamics

Psychosocial burden among offshore drilling platform employees.

Conditions of work on offshore drilling platforms are particularly hard due to extreme environmental situations created both by nature and technological processes. Oil drilling workers employed on the open sea are potentially exposed to permanently high stress. Apart from the obvious objective factors affecting drilling platform employees, a great role in the general work-related stress level i...

Seismic Reliability Evaluation of the Jacket Structure of an Offshore Platform Based on Nonlinear Time History Analyses

Regarding the previous earthquake damages in offshore structures, as vital structures in the oil and gas industries, it is important that their seismic design will be performed with very high reliability. Accepting the Nonlinear Time History Analyses (NLTHA) as the most reliable seismic analysis method, in this paper an offshore platform of jacket type with the height of 304 feet and with a dec...

Investigation of forest fire hazard areas in Golestan province based on fire risk system index (FRSI) using the technique (GIS)

Abstract  Fire in natural resources is one of the crises that causes irreparable damage to ecosystems and the environment every year. The purpose of this research is to attempt to study areas of risk aversion and to prepare a map of forest fire hazard area by integrating topographic data and other additional information from a GIS system for Golestan province. In order to carry out this resear...

Safety of dynamic positioning operations on mobile offshore drilling units

Performance based assessment of offshore wind turbine platform using the constrained new wave method

The purpose of this study is to provide a more accurate and practical method than static and spectral methods to assess the offshore wind turbines that are loaded with both wave and wind time history, the structure is evaluated by increasing the load intensity in successive steps to the stage of failure and the performance of the platform in different wave patterns are investigated. In this stu...
