Mooring System Engineering for Offshore Structures

Early offshore engineers don't have proper training or resources to learn how to design an efficient mooring system for their offshore structures with most relying on older experienced engineers to work and train them. Instead of learning through trial and error on the job, Mooring System Engineering for Offshore Structures delivers in-depth knowledge on mooring system engineering in oil and gas drilling, production, construction, and renewable energy. Providing adequate information for daily offshore challenges, this reference will give beginners a solid look at the fundamentals involved with literature review to fill in the knowledge gaps. More advanced engineers can stay up-to-date through analysis guidance, integrity issues, and practical worldwide examples provided.

Topics include mooring designs with coverage on current standards and codes, mooring analysis, and theories behind a mooring analysis of quasi-static or dynamic approaches. Advancing on to the practical use of design criteria for strength and fatigue, the reference summarizes the experience and lessons learned in installation, operation, inspection and maintenance. Rounding out with integrity and reliability issues, Mooring System Engineering for Offshore Structures finally gives young and experienced offshore oil and gas engineers the knowledge needed to understand the various types of mooring systems, their design, analysis, and operations to run safely, efficiently, and at high performance.

• Understand the various types of mooring systems and the theories behind mooring analysis
• Gain practical experience and lessons learned from worldwide case studies
• Combine strong mooring engineering fundamentals with practical applications to solve today's offshore oil and gas challenges
