RISK ANALYSIS OF DROPPED OBJECTS FOR DEEP WATER DEVELOPMENT

The risk connected to dropped objects have been evaluated for all installations in the North Sea. However there is limited experience with regard to dropped objects for developments in large water depths. This paper presents the work performed in connection with the risk associated with dropped objects at large water depths. The work has resulted in development of falling load distributions for several categories of dropped objects. The effect os wind, waves and currents have also been analyzed. A model for calculating the risk has been developed. The paper gives a description of the work performed and gives an example.
