Buoyant Leg Storage and Regasification Platforms
A buoyant leg storage and regasification platform (BLSRP) consists of a deck supported by buoyant legs. These legs are position‐restrained by tethers with high initial pre‐tension. The buoyant legs are subjected to waves and current while the superstructure of the platform is predominantly under the influence of wind. A recent development in offshore deep water platforms is the BLSRP to store and process liquefied natural gas offshore. This chapter presents experimental investigations carried out on a scale model of a BLSRP in the presence of regular waves. Numerical studies carried out on the prototype of the BLSRP with both regular and random waves for different wave approach angles are also discussed in detail. The chapter also presents a detailed numerical analysis carried out for the BLSRP using the Mathieu equation of stability. The very low fatigue life of tethers with Mathieu instability proves the severity of the instability.
