Purpose
Title: Structural and Naval Assessment of the FPSO Design Based on Extreme, Global-Warming Related Weather Scenarios
Purpose of Internship: Evaluate the impact of extreme weather conditions on the stability and structural integrity of the FPSO
Responsibilities
Objective of the internship: The primary goal of this internship is to conduct a comprehensive naval and structural assessment of FPSO units, focusing on how extreme weather scenarios—driven by global warming—could affect their future performance. This involves increasing the dynamic load combinations by simulating a variety of environmental conditions, then analyzing the resulting impacts on the FPSO’s structure using specialized 2D software (Mars 2000 from Bureau Veritas). Additionally, the internship will evaluate how these conditions may accelerate storage degradation over time. The findings from these simulations will be synthesized to provide an overview of how different scenarios and locations could influence the long-term performance of FPSOs. This work will help inform future design upgrades and risk mitigation strategies for offshore energy infrastructure in a changing climate.
The internship will be divided into three main tasks as follows:
- Define and calculate dynamic load increase based on global-warming related predictions (10%):
- Review current environmental conditions.
- Define a range of scenarios based on global-warming-related predictions
- Calculate the resulting new dynamic loads for each scenario.
- Structural assessment (main study – 60%):
- Prepare & run calculations for the selected scenarios in Mars 2000
- Post-process and analyze the results, comparing them with current baseline scenarios.
- Stability assessment (20%)
- Using the outcomes of the structural assessment, estimate storage degradation across all scenarios and location
- Compile a comprehensive overview of the stability impacts for various locations and scenarios relevant to future FPSOs.
Education
- Master’s degree (Naval architecture)
- Good English level
- Responsible, motivated, with positive attitude
