METHOD OF ASSESSMENT OF SOLAR RADIATION ON TEMPERATURE CONDITION FOR OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS PLATFORMS
Offshore Platforms (ОР) for oil and gas located production are exposed to intense sunlight. As a result, ОР change their temperature conditions, arise thermal stresses and deformations that adversely affect the life of structural elements of ОР and contribute to the emergence and development of fatigue cracks. The paper proposes a new methodology and formulas for estimating exposure to the sun, the use of which will simulate the processes of heating and cooling of offshore platforms, which in turn allows you to adjust the assessment of their state of stress and resource impact on fatigue cracking, as well as an opportunity for further development of methods thermodiagnostics of offshore platforms. On the example of the Black Sea ОР illustrates the application of the developed technique.
