小井眼侧钻水平井钻完井工艺在QHD32—6油田的应用

由于海洋石油开发的特殊性,每个采油平台的槽口数量有限,而新建平台或者外挂槽口成本太高,因此利用低效井和关停井的槽口进行套管内开窗侧钻成为一种很好的选择。QHD32—6F平台部分生产井为中177．8mm生产套管,利用修井机在Ф177．8mm生产套管内开窗侧钻Ф152．4mm小井眼,直接着陆钻水平段,裸眼段最长达1120m,平均长1032m。该工艺技术可操作性较强,工期短,成本低,为延长老油田寿命,维持老油田经济开发指明了方向。

TLP平台NODE结构确定性疲劳与疲劳可靠性对比分析

TLP平台的疲劳计算在工程中常采用确定性疲劳计算方法,但是影响结构疲劳的大多数因素都是随机的,确定性的方法很难对这些因素做出客观的描述。因此,本文基于谱疲劳方法,分别采用确定性疲劳和疲劳可靠性对TLP平台NODE结构进行疲劳筛选计算,并对计算结果进行对比分析。结果显示NODE结构局部区域不满足疲劳强度要求,相比于疲劳可靠性,确定性疲劳方法更加保守。     

不同类型张力腿平台的主要结构特征与技术特点

<正>张力腿平台(简称TLP)是一种垂直系泊的顺应式平台,其主要设计思想是通过平台自身的特殊结构形式,产生远大于平台结构自重的浮力,浮力除了抵消结构自重之外,所产生的剩余浮力与张力腿的预张力相平衡。时刻处于受张拉绷紧状态的张力腿使平台的横摇、纵摇和垂荡运动较小,近似于刚性。张力腿平台立柱主要为直立的圆筒型或方形截     

Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Deepwater Drilling Risers Subjected to Random Loads

Excited by ocean currents, random wave and vessel motion, deepwater drilling risers exhibit significant dynamic response. In time domain, a method is proposed to calculate the nonlinear dynamic response of deepwater drilling risers subjected to random wave and dynamic large displacement vessel motion boundary condition. Structural and functional loads, external and internal pressure, free surface effect of irregular wave, hydrodynamic forces induced by current and wave, as well as wave and low frequency (drift) motion of the drilling vessel are all accounted for. An example is presented which illustrates the application of the proposed method. The study shows that long term drift motion of the vessel has profound effect on the envelopes of bending stress and lateral displacement, as well as the range of lower flex joint angle of the deepwater riser. It can also be concluded that vessel motion is the principal dynamic loading of nonlinear dynamic response for the deepwater risers rather than wave force.

Hill Instability Analysis of TLP Tether Subjected to Combined Platform Surge and Heave Motions

This paper presents the Hill instability analysis of Tension keg Platform （TLP） tether in deep sea. The 2-D nonlinear beanl model, which is undergoing coupled axial and transverse vibrations, is applied. The governing equations are reduced to nonlinear Hill equation by use of the Galerkin＇ s method and the modes superposition principle. The Hill instability charted up to large parameters is obtained. An important parameter M is defined and can be expressed as the functions of tether length, the platform surge and heave motion amplitudes. Some example studies are performed for various envirotnnental conditions. The results demonstrate that the nonlinear coupling between the axial and transverse vibrations has a significant effect on the response of structure. It needs to be considered for the accurate dynamic analysis of long TI2 tether subjected to the combined platfolna surge and heave motions.     

Estimating the hydrodynamic forces on a mini TLP with computational fluid dynamics and design-code techniques

This paper reports on the prediction of the hydrodynamic forces on a full-scale mini Tension Leg Platform (TLP) of the type typically deployed for deep-sea operation. Two alternative prediction techniques were used: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which is based on the solution of the fundamental equations that govern turbulent fluid flow; and ‘engineering’ calculations based on force coefficients derived from a design code that is in routine use in the Offshore Industry. The results from these two techniques were compared with each other and with experimental data obtained from wind-tunnel and towing-tank tests on a 1–70 scale model. It was found that the two techniques, while yielding very similar predictions for the front TLP members, give substantially different predictions for the aft members — a result that is consistent with the presence of significant interference effects that are captured only by the CFD. The design code yielded the highest value for the global drag coefficient, followed very closely by the towing-tank result. The wind-tunnel tests produced the lowest value for this parameter. The CFD predictions, which were the first to be obtained in this study, fall in the mid-range of the experimental values. These and other results are discussed in the context of the use of CFD in practical design applications.

Multiaxial Fatigue Analysis on Reeled Deepwater Steel Catenary Risers with Girth Weld Defects

In the present study, we simulated the reel-lay installation process of deepwater steel catenary risers（SCRs） using the finite element method and proposed multiaxial fatigue analysis for reeled SCRs. The reel-lay method is one of the most efficient and economical pipeline installation methods. However, material properties of reeled risers may change, especially in the weld zone, which can affect the fatigue performance. Applying finite element analysis（FEA）, we simulated an installation load history through the reel, aligner, and straightener and analyzed the property variations. The impact of weld defects during the installation process, lack of penetration and lack of fusion, was also discussed. Based on the FEA results, we used the Brown-Miller criterion combined with the critical plane approach to predict the fatigue life of reeled and non-reeled models. The results indicated that a weld defect has a significant influence on the material properties of a riser, and the reel-lay method can significantly reduce the fatigue life of SCRs. The analysis conclusion can help designers understand the mechanical performance of welds during reel-lay installation.
