Each owner or operator of offshore products uses a maintenance management system like CMMS(Computerized Maintenance Management System) in order to manage their assets effectively and efficiently for a long time. But most of maintenance management systems have been focused on machinery items, not on 'Hull' until now. On the other hand, classifications like ABS, DNV, GL are having a sale on hull inspection and maintenance system for ships and an interest in hull maintenance system is increasing because of the application of EDD(Extended Dry Docking). This paper discusses the concept, inspection process and the practical application of Hull maintenance for Semi-submersible drilling rig to extend the service life and run a stable operation.

Condensation is one of the common issues which we can easily see in everyday life. For example, the surface of glasses with cold water is easily moisturized. This wet surface gives us uncomfortable feeling and is sometimes dangerous because it is slippery. As the safety on working space is one of the most important issue on offshore project, condensation is also important matter to take care of with precaution. Since the bottom of vessel or offshore facility is submersed in the water, the risk of having condensate on the steel surface is getting higher because sea water temperature is normally lower than ambient temperature. And if there is any electric equipment or person working in that space, condensation is normally not allowed. The pontoon of semi-submersible drilling rig is such a space which is submersed, with electric and mechanical equipments and person working periodically. To prevent condensation in pontoon, study was conducted by checking several cases.

For the purposes of drilling oil field and extracting oil deep water in more rough weather, the size of drilling rigs must be estimated. In this paper, the three dimensional source distribution method is used and we assume 10 deg. heeling and trimming condition of the drilling rig(SR-192). Also, the effects of the hydrodynamic forces which include the drift forces for field method, and the motion responses are studied with changing the incident wave direction in the assumed inclining condition. The theory and numerical codes used in this thesis appeared to be very useful for the preliminary design of drilling rigs.

In order to establish a stability and buoyancy criteria of a floating vessel, the geometrical property as well as external forces and moments be dealt with. This paper discusses in general terms hidden but more salient factors of forces and moments of both natural and artificial origin, particularly wind, with regard to vessels of more general type such as oil drilling rigs.

잭업드릴링 리그는 해양 석유와 가스 탐사 산업에서 널리 사용되는 모바일 해양 플랫폼이다. 그것은 시추 및 생산을 위한 캔틸레버 시추 장치가 있는 독립적인 3개의 다리가 있는 자체 승강식 장치이다. 전형적인 잭업리그는 삼각형 선체, 타워형 데릭, 캔틸레버, 잭케이스, 거주구와 다리로 구성되며 여기에는 스퍼드캔 구조, 개방형 트러스, X-교차 구조로 구성된다. 일반적으로 잭업리그는 수심 130m~170m에서만 운용이 되고 있다. 최근 들어 개발 유정이 심해로 이동하면서, 깊은 수심과 가혹한 환경조건을 만족해야 한다. 리그의 작업 상태에서 모든 정적, 동적 하중은 레그(Leg)를 통해서 지탱되는 특징이 있다. 이러한 리그의 중요한 이슈는 순간적으로 큰 충격에너지를 발생시키는 충돌에 대한 레그의 안전성이다. 본 연구에서는 LS-Dyna 프로그램을 이용하여 DNV 선급에서 규정하고 있는 충돌에너지 35MJ 요구사항에 대한 수치해석 및 검증을 수행하였다. 충돌 선박은 배수량 7,500톤 작업 지원선을 사용하였고, 5가지 충돌조건을 선정하였다. 해석결과로부터 모든 충돌조건은 선급 기준을 만족하지 못한다. 코드 방향 충돌조건은 충돌에너지 15MJ, 브레이스 충돌조건은 6MJ이 합리적이다. 따라서 충돌시나리오에 따른 합리적인 충돌에너지 기준의 제정이 필요로 하다.

As electricity has been used in ship's propulsion, it is necessary to increase the system voltage and current for the electrical distribution system. So it is required to improve the system safety and efficiency, the power stability, the efficiency of the generation through various analysis of ship's electric power system. In this paper, the electrical service reliability of the power distribution system of semi submersible drilling rigs has been analysed and discussed using ETAP.

Since the first jack-up was built, jackups have become the most popular type of mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) for offshore exploration and development purposes in shallow water. The most pivotal component of the jack-up unit is the leg, which can directly affect the global performance of the unit. In this paper, an investigation into extending the length of the jack up leg is carried out in order to study the enhancement of the rig capability to drill in deeper water approaching the range of the Semisubmersible Drilling Unit (SSDU) (300-1000ft). A study of the performance of a deep-water jack-up unit is performed with different leg lengths. Typical leg scantling dimensions and identical external loads are assigned, and then a detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model is created in order to simulate the jack-up leg unit's structural behavior. A Multi-point Constraint (MPC) element together with the spring element is used to deal with the boundary conditions. Finally, a comparative analysis for five leg lengths is carried out to illustrate their performance, including the ultimate static strength, and weight.

여굴 또는 미굴은 터널발파 결과를 평가하는데 있어서 가장 중요한 지표중 하나이다. 폭약량과 종류, 암질상태, 천공상태에 따라 좌우되는 여굴은 터널시공의 경제성과 직결되므로 현장의 많은 발파기술자들은 이를 최소화하기 위한 노력을 끊임없이 시도하여 왔다. 일반적으로 천공은 여굴을 야기하는 가장 중요한 요소로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 천공과 관련된 다양한 작업방법들이 여굴과 천공의 정확도에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 여굴을 저감하기 위한 실제 작업모델을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 1차적으로 굴착선공 적정 공간격, 점보드릴의 천공각 변화, 굴착선공 천공착점 위치, 굴착선공 표시 등 4개 항목 45회의 실험을 실시하였다. 여굴을 줄이기 위해서는 작업자 및 감독자들의 의지와 노력이 무엇보다도 중요하였고 천공방법 및 패턴을 일부 개선하므로써 천공으로 인한 여굴량을 적지 않게 줄일수 있다고 판단되었다.

Various kinds of fatigue failures of ocean structures were reported and the importance of fatigue life estimation at the design state is significantly recognized and various kinds of analysis approaches have been discussed. In this paper characteristics of the simplified method proposed here and the spectral method are studied and the elements of the approach are discussed. The merits and demerits of the forementioned analysis schemes are studied and the relating parameters such as SCF and S-N curves are also investigated. The simplified fatigue analysis approach and tile spectral fatigue analysis technique is applied for the analysis of bracing members of typical semi-submersible drilling rig structure for the verification of the usage of two methods and the sensitivity study has been performed using the simplified method. The result from the spectral analysis give a more realistic picture of the fatigue life of the offshore structure considered here.

This research is comprised of virtually simulating behavior while experiencing low gravity effects in advance of real world testing in low gravity aboard Zero Gravity Corporation's (Zero-G) research aircraft (727-200F). The experiment simulated a drill rig penetrating a regolith simulant. Regolith is a layer of loose, heterogeneous superficial deposits covering solid rock on surfaces of the Earth' moon, asteroids and Mars. The behavior and propagation of space debris when drilled in low gravity was tested through simulations and visualization in a leading dynamic simulation software as well as discrete element modeling software and in preparation for comparing to real world results from flying the experiment aboard Zero-G. The study of outer space regolith could lead to deeper scientific knowledge of extra-terrestrial surfaces, which could lead us to breakthroughs with respect to space mining or in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). These studies aimed to test and evaluate the drilling process in low to zero gravity environments and to determine static stress analysis on the drill when tested in low gravity environments. These tests and simulations were conducted by a team from Texas A&M University's Department of Construction Science, the United States Air Force Academy's Department of Astronautical Engineering, and Crow Industries
