Description
This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to inspect and analyze three Chevron platforms in South Timbalier field. Two survived Hurricane Andrew, the other toppled during the hurricane. The intent is to compare analytical predictions with actual field performance, with particular emphasis on individual member and platform system failure. This assessment will be used in developing guidelines to be incorporated in the American Petroleum Institute (API) RP2A.
