Omschrijving

Lecture “Integrity of Mobile Offshore Drilling Units“.

The presentation addresses the integrity assurance and safety performance of jack ups and semi-submersibles used as drilling units for the offshore Oil and Gas Industry. The historical safety performance over the last 30 years is reviewed, thereby drawing conclusions regarding the observed failure rates and the main causes of failure. For jack ups the main causes of failures include punch-through failures in the soils and failures in extreme storms as well as capsizing during tow and well-related blow out events. For semisubmersible units there have been a considerable number of cases of mooring line failures and cases of complete loss of station keeping. Efforts by Shell and the offshore industry to address the cause of these failures and improve the safety performance are described.
