Mooring system A mooring, in general terms, is defined as a compliant structure that restrains a floating structures against the action of wind, wave, and current forces. The mooring system for the spars built till date consists of a taut-mooring system, which saves a considerable length of wire and chain needed for a conventional catenary mooring. Mooring systems are compliant systems. They provide resistance to environmental loading by deforming and activating reaction forces. Mooring systems work as spring mechanisms where displacement of the floater from a neutral equilibrium position causes a restoring force to react to the applied loading. Mooring system The tension spring effect of mooring lines derives from two mechanisms: 1)hanging catenary effect - from gravity acting vertically on the line 2)line elastic effect - from elastic stretch over the length of the line. Mooring systems with these two mechanisms are called catenary moorings and taut moorings, respectively. 3 412m Bullwinkle Shell GoM 1991 535m Petronius Chevron GoM 1998 1225m Ursa Shell GoM 1999 1,710m Devil’s Tower GoM 2003 2006m P51 Brazil 2006 2,146m Atlantis GoM 2006 1,463m Diana EoM GoM 1991 1,615m Red Hawk GoM 2004 1,432m Magnolia CoP GoM 2004 100m East Spar GoM 1999 Type of mooring system by water deepth deep water surface Type of mooring Fixed platform The jacket is a fixed platform which has stunks in the seabed. Its be used from 25m to 200m in the sea water. TLP The tension leg mooring system has good structural performance and sports performance that is a suitable form of anchoring in deep waters. After 50 years of research and 20 years of practice, as a typical representative of the tension leg platform ,application proved excellent safety performance of this mooring system which is more economy.
