Tension leg platform project execution
摘要
The first floating platform concept design work for South China Sea is undergoing in DMAR's office now. This tension leg platform has potential to become the first advanced floating production platform project. Pro- ject execution is always a challenge for floating system. This paper focuses on the critical elements of project exe- cution for tension leg platform,and studies potential implications to future oil and gas exploration in South China Sea. There are many factors affecting successful execution of floating system project,including technical issues, engineering management,interface management,etc. There are also failure examples of project execution in the industry. The author has participated 28 large detailed projects and has gained extensive experience on floating pro- jects,with ample hands-on project experiences. A detailed tension leg platform project study example and discu- ssions in depth are presented for future project execution in China deepwater development.
