Synopsis
“Offshore Structures are present in all parts of the world, whether they are the ageing oil & gas structures or the new offshore wind industry, with the governing conditions for significant structural degradation/failure often very dependent on region and application with potentially large variations in structural risks in different scenarios. International codes and standards are developed around a number of parameters and assumptions which may be particular to a region or an application. When we step outside of these the risks can be very different. This presentation gives examples from the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Middle East, South East Asia, West Africa and Australia, and from installation, through operational life to decommissioning where the structural risk didn’t match the expectation and the lessons that can be learned.”
