Abstract

Deep water exploration has been one of major focus in oil and gas industries and
companies. This paper discuss about the effect of water depth on the response of spar
platform. It also discuss about effect of drag and mass coefficient for tubular member. The
idea of this project is to find the motion and forces to the Spar platform with regards or
influence of the water depth at certain locations. The case study is made with Genesis spar
platforms in difference water depth. The equation that is used in finding the motions and
forces is 'Linear Airy Wave Theory', 'Pierson-Moskowitz Spectrum' and 'Motion
Response Spectrum'. The project also conducts a literature survey about the Spar
Technology, Existing Spar, and Dynamic Analysis & Model Studies. The project will come
up with tabulated result and some graphs about the effect of water depth on the spar
responses. Some recommendation shall be include for further study and research.
