The offshore exploration of oil/gas dates back to the nineteenth century.Since the first oil wells were drilled in the waters of Pacific Ocean, offshore summer lands, California in the 1890s, the ocean engineering has been made good progress. Different types of onshore and offshore shallow platforms were proposed with the development of offshore industry. With the depletion of onshore and offshore shallow water oil reserves, the exploration and production of oil in deep water has become a new challenge to the offshore industry.Offshore exploration and production of minerals is advancing into deeper waters at a fast pace. Many deepwater structures have already been installed worldwide, such as the Semi-Submersible platform, Spar platform and Tension Leg platform. New oil/gas fields are being discovered in ultra-deep water.Many of oil fields are small and their economic benefits are not optimistic,which is a challenge to the offshore engineer.
The textbook is an attempt to provide an introduction to ocean engineering for the undergraduates to obtain the preliminary knowledge. This textbook is originally based on the offshore project manuals, offshore project reports and rules of DNV. The textbook also contains the internal materials of the COSCO Shipyard Group Company Limited (in Nan Tong). The whole book includes seven chapters, which consist of ocean engineering development history, typical platform form, ocean environment, wave loads and motion responses and offshore construction.
The chapter I basically introduces the mainly offshore platforms. In this chapter, seven types of platforms such as the jack-up, semi-submersible platform and FPSO, are given in this chapter. Ocean environment and ocean loads are shown in the chapter n and chapter m introduces the wind, current and wave features. In order to read easily for the readers the detailed knowledge of ocean environment is not included in this chapter.
The representative systems and equipments of offshore structures are shown in chapter IV. Some basic offshore equipments, such as the mooring system,Jacking system and drilling system, are shown in this chapter. In order to expand the knowledge of undergraduates, the chapter V and VI introduce the ocean energy and ocean platform construction. At the end of this textbook, we provide two appendixs for the student self-studying, such as the rules of DNV and seven kinds of typical sentences of translation method. The lessons of this book are containing the common words and sentences in offshore engineering,to improve the reading and writing ability of student. Because the check is difficult, some errors may occur. We wish readers will give comments.
This book can be used as a textbook of Ocean engineering and technology,ship and ocean engineering and other professional senior undergraduate and graduate students of teaching resources, as professional personnel engaged in the reference books.
The literatures are very enormous and cannot be all cited, but reader can get more literatures from our cited papers.
