Elevating FPSO Longevity: FPSO Life Extension through Advanced Fatigue Design Assessment

In the realm of offshore engineering, where the operational lifespan of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units is pivotal, a strategic approach becomes paramount. Our latest technical exploration delves into the advanced domain of global spectral Fatigue Analysis (FDA L2 & L3) , unlocking the key to FPSO life extension.

A meticulous review based on Simplified Spectral Fatigue Procedure and the structural design code to identify critical connections with potential for failure i.e., Remaining Fatigue Life (RFL) below operational projections. This is followed by advanced Direct calculation based fatigue assessment (FDA L3) and validate the remaining fatigue life of the unit. Based on the engineering study, further Structural Enhancements and strengthening areproposed to elevate the RFL. These interventions are rigorously validated through a meticulous iterative runs with recommended measures.

Technical Significance:

• Cost-Efficiency: Proactive structural interventions minimize operational costs over an extended life span.
• Environmental Impact: Prolonging asset life significantly reduces the need for new constructions, aligning with sustainable practices.
• Holistic Steel Renewal Estimate: As a testament to our commitment to structural integrity, we provide a detailed estimate optimum hull steel renewal of FPSO. This transcends a mere patchwork solution, embodying a holistic approach to safeguard and extend operational life.
