Similarities and differences are MW Mega Watt highlighted in design criteria, mooring analysis, long-term TLP Tension Leg Platform integrity management...

...Abstract Abstract Tension Leg Platform (TLP) tendons typically are installed for the life of the platform and incorporate elastomeric flex bearings. The Allegheny TLP, owned and operated by ENI Petroleum, was installed in Gulf of Mexico Green Canyon Block 254A, in 1999. It was designed...

... In this paper the design robustness of Tension Leg Platform (TLP) tendon and tendon foundation systems of a TLP that is located in offshore Western Australia is investigated. A case study of a TLP that is self-stable (without tendons) has been considered. The study involves the numerical...

... 10 01 2011 A TLP is a buoyant platform containing four cylindrical columns. The purpose of this study was to consider the effects of different model solvers in the numerical solution on the flow pattern around the TLP. The flow around the TLP was numerically simulated with inviscid...

... of the deepwater production facilities that were impacted by Lili. The Shell Brutus Tension Leg Platform (TLP) provided comprehensive measurements of winds, motions and tendon tensions during Lili. The tendon tension data recorded was analyzed in both the time and frequency domain and tendon tension statistics...

... 19 11 2008 This paper presents a methodology for reliability analysis of Tension Leg Platform (TLP) tendons subjected to extraordinary sea state conditions like hurricanes or winter storms. A coupled approach in time domain is used to carry out TLP random nonlinear dynamic analysis...

... 07 10 2008 This paper presents a Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) criterion applied to the design of Tension Leg Platform (TLP) tendons in their intact condition. The design criterion considers the Ultimate Limit State (ULS) of any tendon section along its whole length taking...
