About this Course
Whether converting an oil tanker to a floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO) or building new, structural assessment is central to a successful project. This three-day course covers the requirements for verification of FPSO and FSO structures as outlined in the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations. Participants are guided through the ABS design review process to build an understanding of how to prepare submissions for classification review.
What you'll Learn
- Describe ABS ship-type floating production installation requirements.
- Apply initial scantling evaluation strength methods covering midship section scantlings, model generation, transverse bulkheads and longitudinal and main supporting members.
- Apply sea environment assessment system modeling including metocean and design waves, motions, loads, fatigue and the environmental severity factors concept.
- Complete environmental severity factor calculations for onsite and history routes.
- Apply fatigue damage criteria for critical locations.
- Set up and run a simplified fatigue evaluation of longitudinal stiffeners in ABS Eagle FPSO and interpret the results against FPI Rule criteria.
- Observe a finite element analysis software demonstration.
Who should Attend
This course is intended for companies considering either a newbuild FPSO or conversion to an FPSO.
