We’ve waited over two years, as have many of our subscribers, for this study to be completed and at long last it has arrived. In hindsight it is easy to see why it has taken so long to compile (no excuses just humble apologies to all those who have had to wait so long for their orders to be fulfilled) but when you set loose 32 international sponsors and 22 authors from seven major companies on a project of this complexity valued at over £400,000 ($680,000) it is not, to put it mildly, likely to be completed overnight! Anyway it is here now and is the first comprehensive reference guide that brings together the complex analytical techniques and detail design approaches necessary for every type of floating structure from FPSO’s to innovative spars and TLP’s.

ISBN: 978-1-870553-35-3, Pages: 1,200 in two volumes Contents:

• Floating production types and their suitability for different types of field applications
• The worldwide ocean environment with comprehensive weather parameter data
• Hydrodynamics and dynamics, wave frequency, slowly varying high frequency and impulsive wave loads and responses
• Static's - stability and the ways in which hydrostatics are included in various different types of dynamic analysis plus stability regulations
• Dynamic response, spectral analysis techniques and checking methods for dynamic analysis
• Structural analysis and the options available
• Fatigue and fracture checking of structural steel and concrete including TLP’s
• Position keeping using catenary moorings, taut tether systems and DP
• Rigid steel and flexible risers analysis and design
• Fabrication of steel and concrete “floaters”
• Actual analysis of semi-sub and ship-shaped production installations bringing together their overall design methodology. For further details ask for a copy of the full contents list. This book is simply too good to miss.
