The slender structure as proposed earlier are transversely supported by guy wires to
reduce lateral deflection and bending stresses. Further the support reaction in terms of
pile loads will be reduced considerably.
Limiting Parameters
Access to wells for drilling by jackup from north face, the skirt piles or
projection of substructure on the north face to be avoided.

REPRESENTATIVE SITE
Environmental conditions at C-series
location has been considered for this
study. The location selected has some
of the difficult parameters to be used
in design such as wave, current and
geotechnical conditions. Similar
conditions are expected at other
marginal field. It can be observed that
the top 30m is a soft clay offering very
les pile capacity.
Parameter 1 year 100 year

Wave height (m) 10.366 17.073

Variation of weight among the concepts is limited to 10 to 20% except for mono pile
Technical Feasibility
Design of Mono pile and braced mono pile system has limitations on the deck foot
print size. The concept can be adopted if the topside dimensions can be limited to less
than 20m x 20m.
Braced conductor leg concept can be implemented with sufficient conductor protection
system which may alleviate the safety issue. The limitations on the deck foot print
applies to this option also.
Guy support structures require pile foundations for wire anchor system which will be
costly. Further, guyed wire support systems not recommended based on installation
and safety issues due to potential failure of guy wires.
Installation by jackup rigs shall be considered carefully only for water depths less than
30m.
