Jacket Structure introduction
Functional Classification
• Wellhead platform - primarily meant for drilling and supporting wellhead equipment.
It supports very few equipment such as wellhead control panel and piping. Mostly
it also supports helicopter landing structure for emergency evacuation.
• Process Platform - primary meant for production facilities (oil or gas) and it may
support in addition to equipment for production, such as power generation, utilities
and living quarters.
• Riser Platform - This is another kind of structure specially built to support all the
incoming and outgoing risers on a planned complex. This will also be connected to the
main platform by bridge.
• Living Quarters Platform - Sometimes due to safety requirements, the living quar-
ters will be supported on a separate structure away from the wellhead and process
platforms. This types of platform will be located atleas 50m away from the neighbor-
ing process platforms and will be connected by a bridge.

Structural Designs
• In-service Analysis of structures
To be performed for the life span survival of the facilities for all loads expected during the design
life.
• Inplace Analysis
• Fatigue Analysis
• Seismic Analysis
• Cathodic Protection Design
• Collapse Analysis
• Jacket Appurtenances designs
• Pile Designs
• Riser Clamp designs
Construction Engineering
Apart from Service requirements ,design of offshore
structures have to be checked for various
construction requirements :
• Fabrication.
• Weighing analysis.
• Load-out.
• Sea transportation.
• Offshore installation.
• Module installation.
• Hook-up.
Analysis to be performed for construction engineering.(Pre-

service)
• Load out Analysis
• Transportation Analysis
• On bottom Stability & Mud mat design (jacket)
• Lift Analysis
• Launch & Floatation Analysis (jacket)
• Sea fastening design
• Pile drivability
• Lift Installed Jackets
The jacket is built in the vertical (smaller jackets) or horizontal
position (bigger jackets) on a quay of a fabrication site.
• Launch Installed Jackets
The jacket is built in horizontal position .
Launch trusses are inbuilt into jacket structure.

Technology in Offshore Structures Design
1. Oceanography  Environment forces due to Wave, Wind, Tide

current and Ice
2. Foundation Engineering  Geotechnical data for design of Piles, Mats and

anchors.
3. Structural Engineering
 Materials, Corrosion, welding, Structural analysis,
Fatigue assessment, Fabrication and installation,
Appurtenances provision.
4. Marine Engineering  Installation equipment, Navigational
instrumentation
 Floatation & buoyancy,Towing,Vessel

5. Naval Architecture stability,Launching,controlled flooding
Codes and Standards
• API-RP2A: American Petroleum Institute Recommended practice for planning,
designing and constructing fixed offshore platforms The structural offshore
code,
• DnV: Rules for the classification of fixed offshore installations.
• AISC: Specification for the design, fabrication and erection of structural steel
for buildings. American Institute of Steel Construction . Widely used structural
code
• AWS D1.1-90: Structural Welding Code - Steel.
American Welding Society 1990. The structural offshore welding code.
• Marine Operations: Standard for insurance warranty surveys in marine
operations. Regulations of a major certifying authority.
• BV: Rules and regulations for the construction and classification of offshore
platforms. Bureau Veritas Regulations of a major certifying authority.
Software's
• SACS ---- For both detail & construction Engineering—Analysis and
designs.
• GRLWEAP --- Pile drivability
• MS Excel or MathCAD --- For various hand calculations.
• MS Word---- For Report preparations.
• MMS--- Material Management system. Preferably in-house
developed.
• Naval Marine software's
Guideline for Jacket configuration
• Fixed platform design has three main phase
• The dimension of the deck depends on the function of the platform
• The second part is design of the jacket, which Is depends on the

water depth wave ,current loads and other loads
• The third phase of design of to added the robustness of the deck and
jacket design for lifting tow, launching and installation.
ISOMETRIC VIEW
• Water depth : 82.4m

• Pile penetration : 110 m
• No of Conductors : 6 – 30”
• Riser : 2 No's – 12”
• Vent Boom : 12m
• Helideck : Bell 412, (5.5MT)
