Tension Leg Platforms

our olive skin and long brown tresses. Well, Mari chopped her tresses and went bombshell blond, but not every tradition could be overturned with scissors and a box of Nice ’n Easy number 104. The oven door creaked open, heat washing over my bare legs as Mom slid in the empanadas. “Twenty minutes,” she said. “How’s the watercress coming?” I layered red onion rings over the tomatoes. “Done.” “Looks perfect.” She winked over my ensalada de berros as if she’d known it would be…

that had plagued her for weeks. Youko turned her gaze around the room. The heavy curtains shut out the light. The clock on the bedside stand told her it was almost time to get up. She should, except her body felt like a slab of lead, her arms and legs as if mired in tar. The dreams started a month ago. In the beginning she had seen nothing but the empty darkness, heard nothing but falling water. She stood in the pitch black, the awful panic growing inside her, desperate to run away,…

noting in your will that by a specific year, for example, your story should be given to specified people for private use only. Autobiographies are not only for the purpose of public reading. In my case, as a public personality, I decided to use the platform of fame to hopefully inspire those looking for comfort, so that they can know they are not alone in the things we might have in common. No matter who we are, human suffering does not discriminate. I have been quite closed about my…

relatively light loads if the stress of the load is concentrated in a small volume. An abrupt change in the cross-section of a loaded beam or shaft produces a concentration of stresses, as shown in Figures 1.14(a) and 1.15(a). For the element in tension [Figure 1.14(a)] the lines indicate the direction of tensile force; this is a so-called ‘‘force flow depiction.’’ For an element under torsional stress, Figure 1.15(a), the lines indicate the cross-section of concentric cylindrical…

29 Surface Tension A liquid, being unable to expand freely, will form an interface with a second liquid or gas. The physical chemistry of such interfacial surfaces is quite complex, and whole textbooks are devoted to this specialty [15]. Molecules deep within the liquid repel each other because of their close packing. Molecules at the surface are less dense and attract each other. Since half of their neighbors are missing, the mechanical effect is that the surface is in tension. We…

plataforma até o poço. As plataformas de perfuração marítima podem ser classificadas em duas categorias: as com o BOP na superfície ou no fundo do mar. Na primeira categoria as plataformas podem ser fixas, auto-elevatórias ou de pernas tencionadas (tension legs). Na segunda categoria estão as plataformas semi-submersíveis e os navios sonda (THOMAS, 2001; PETROBRAS, 1997). Seguem as explicações e figuras sobre cada tipo de plataforma: 14 • Plataformas Fixas A…

a severa restrição aos movimentos verticais da plataforma que este tipo de completação impõe. Atualmente, as plataformas flutuantes existentes que são capazes de suportar completação seca são as plataformas de pernas atirantadas (TLP – tension leg platforms) e as plataformas do tipo Spar. As plataformas de pernas atirantadas (TLPs) caracterizam-se pelo fato de serem conectadas ao fundo do mar através de tendões verticais e possuir flutuação maior do que o peso. Os tendões são…
