What is Fixed Offshore Platform

Chapter 4
Optimization of Design for Better Structural Capacity
Is a type of offshore platform used for the production of oil or gas in shallow waters. It extends above the water surface and supported at the seabed by means of piling or shallow foundation with the intended purpose of remaining stationary over an extended period.

Abstract
Fire will always be a major threat to the offshore structure as oil and gas always passes through the installation. The design against accidental fire situation should be included in the structural design of offshore structures in collaboration with safety engineers. The design of offshore structures for fire safety involves considering fire as a load condition, assessment of fire resistance, use of fire protection materials, and so on. This chapter presents a methodology that will enable an engineer to design an offshore structure to resist fire. It aims to highlight the major requirements of design and to establish a common approach in carrying out the design.
