Description
Single point mooring (SPM) systems are widely used in offshore oil and gas production to enable the transfer of oil from a floating production facility to a tanker or other vessel. A SPM system typically consists of a buoy anchored to the seabed with chains or cables, a mooring system, and a flexible hose or pipeline that connects the buoy to the floating production facility.
An important aspect of SPM design is the analysis of the system’s dynamic behavior, which is affected by the interaction of the buoy with the waves, currents, and wind. Advanced simulation tools such as OrcaFlex are used to model the system and perform coupled analysis, which takes into account the dynamic behavior of both the buoy and the mooring system.
In the case of a CALM (Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring) buoy, the mooring system consists of a series of anchor lines or chains that connect the buoy to the seabed. The buoy is free to move in response to environmental forces, while the anchor lines maintain tension and prevent the buoy from drifting too far from its desired position.
During the coupled analysis using OrcaFlex, the buoy is modeled as a rigid body with six degrees of freedom (DOF) that can move in response to wave, current, and wind forces. The anchor lines are modeled as flexible lines that can stretch and bend in response to the buoy’s motion. The analysis takes into account the effects of buoyancy, drag, wave and current loads, and the stiffness and damping of the mooring lines.
The results of the analysis can be used to optimize the design of the SPM system, including the number and placement of anchor lines, the size and shape of the buoy, and the length and diameter of the flexible hose or pipeline. The analysis can also be used to predict the system’s response to extreme environmental conditions, such as hurricanes and storms, and ensure that the system is designed to withstand these conditions.
SPMCBAOCAS Level 3 is purely hands on workshop and gives a comprehensive understanding of how to use the OrcaFlex software for calm bouy analysis either using the simple or discretized method.
In these simulation workshop, a CALM buoy is moored by six (6) equally spaced mooring lines. A shuttle tanker is moored to the buoy by a hawser, with fluid transfer through a floating hose. These workshop model are examples of coupled analysis. Simple CALM Buoy simulation method are presented Workshop 1 and Discretized CALM Buoy Simulation in Workshop 2.
