چکیده
This review is written for the NATO lecture series: NATO RTA “Survival at Sea for Mariners, Aviators and Personnel Involved in Search and Rescue”. It provides a brief historical perspective, updated scientific information on the phenomenon, susceptibility and management of seasickness. It is designed to provide the latest data on seasickness for all those who earn their living working on or flying over the water.

Steel-structured jacket or template platforms have been extensively installed in Persian Gulf offshore oil & gas fields. For the jackets in the water depth range of 40 meters in this region, utilizing the self-upending concept has been investigated. It has been concluded that designing the light weight jackets, implementing the self-upending process for their installation operations, are econom...

Floating offshore structures, particularly floating oil production, storage and offloading systems (FPSOs) are still in great demand, both in small and large reservoirs, for deployment in deep water. The prediction of such vessels’ responses to her environmental loading over her lifetime is now often undertaken using response-based design methodology, although the approach is still in its...
متن کاملApplication of Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis on Oil and Gas Offshore Pipelines
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) as a Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) method is used to identify basic causes leading to an undesired event, to represent logical relation of these basic causes in leading to the event, and finally to calculate the probability of occurrence of this event. To conduct a quantitative FTA, one needs a fault tree along with failure data of the Basic Events (BEs). Someti...
