Description

This project collected and assessed information on the performance of deepwater production facilities that were impacted by Hurricane Lili (2002). This study formed the basis for developing recommendations for improvement in design and operation of installations such as:

vortex-induced vibration of risers, loss of air gap with wave loading on decks, tension leg platform TLP performance, and Spar performance measurements.
