Integrated Monitoring System For Offshore Platform

Petroleum as the important energy source is the basis of human society development. However, the shortage of the oil source speedup the growing of concern about the exploitation of deep-sea oil resources. Deep-sea floating platforms play an important role in the life of offshore operations and infrastructure. The environment where located the offshore platform, is very complex. With its effects, the platform performed evidently in resistance decaying, as a result, any single mistake of the platform will lead to destructive damage to economic losses and casualties.Nowadays, the Offshore Oil Engineering in China staging at crossing from shallow water to deep water. The lacking of experience in deep water floating platform design make the improving of deep water platform monitoring technology more important and necessary.In this paper, serving the South China Sea floating production platforms and the marine environmental characteristics, we propose a suitable schedule to fall in deep water environment monitoring program, as well as design and develop an integrated monitoring system for offshore platforms, which performs excellent in on-site monitoring and data collection of the marine environment, the platform position posture, the mooring anchor, and the riser systems. With the core "Distributed collection and centralized processing ", this essay focus on the implementation of a comprehensive monitoring platform, respectively, the sensitive choosing of the sensor devices, the design of intelligent data acquisition and the development of the PC monitoring system software as the most important part are described in detail.Currently, the system is used in the South China Sea Liu-Hua LH11-1 platform monitoring, as the first time to on-site monitor the deep-sea floating platforms of active duty comprehensively in the South China Sea.The real-time monitoring system will ensure the safety in production operations and menu-operating. Meanwhile, the monitoring data plays an important role in optimizing the platform design, as well as providing a rich data storage for shortage improving. The active monitoring performance in South China Sea floating platform proved the reliability and stability of the integrated monitoring system, also detected a large number of precious parameters in extreme sea conditions for the development of China's offshore oil projects to refer.
