The wide employment of the moonpool on marine vessels and offshore platforms shelters
the activities and operations from the external wave environment to a high degree. However …

The damping evaluation of floating offshore systems is based on the viscous effects that are
not considered in numerical models using the potential theory. Usually, different techniques …

The oscillating water column (OWC) responses within forward, central and aft located
moonpools for a fixed vessel are studied experimentally under regular head wave …

Moonpools in marine vessels and offshore platforms are vertical openings through the
structure used to support underwater operations. Experimental investigations of multiple …

Evidence points to increasing the development of floating wind turbines to unlock the full
potential of worldwide wind-energy generation. Barge-type floating wind turbines are of …

One of the most difficult challenges in the offshore industry is to reduce hydrocarbon
production costs, which increase as exploration advances to deeper water regions. Most of …

As the exploration of offshore oil and gas resources are moving into larger depth, many
mobile drillships have been widely applied to the offshore drilling operation, thanks to the …

ABSTRACT The Floating Drilling Production Storage and Offloading (FDPSO) Platform is
functionally a non-propelled vessel and belongs to a subset of a wider group of vessels …

A new concept and a preliminary study for a monocolumn floating unit are introduced, aimed
at exploring and producing oil in ultradeep waters. This platform, which combines two …

FDPSO is a multifunction floating platform, which has the combined function of drilling,
production, storage and offloading oil. The moonpool is necessary for drilling operation and …
