Application of Floatover Technique with Strand Jack Lifting to Offshore Platform Installation

Jinsong Zhang

Abstract

An innovative floatover technique with strand jack lifting was successfully applied to the offshore installations of one drilling platform and one production platform located in Zhaodong Oilfield. This innovative floatover method reduces significantly the size of the installation barge and decreases requirement for site water depth, thus providing a safer and cheaper solution to the offshore platform installation. The advan- tages, system composition and main installation steps of the floatover technique with strand jack lifting are de- scribed and discussed in this paper.
