The ATP Titan platform is a self contained floating drilling and production triple-column spar structure. The real-time monitoring system will be installed on one of the production top tension riser and tight back to a top side data acquisition system. The gathered data can be evaluated offshore or be transmitted to shore on demand for further evaluation and integrity management purposes. The primary objective of the riser monitoring system is to measure and quantify fatigue damage to the risers from wake induced oscillations (WIO) during high current events - real-time. The gathered data will be used to ensure integrity of the riser system especially after severe events. The monitoring system, which is fully ROV and diver serviceable, features Pulse award winning instrumentation INTEGRIstick Dynamic Curvature Sensors to measure bending strain at the critical fatigue locations. The monitoring system also includes INTEGRIpod-HM high precision motion loggers placed along the upper span of the riser string. The real-time fully synchronized data stream from the motion loggers will provide a more global understanding. We are excited to support the ATP Titan and the Telemark Hub project with our structural monitoring expertise, project execution and full offshore support team. Pulse technology will be utilized to set another milestone in real time monitoring of subsea risers and structures. It will provide critical riser operational data to better understand the phenomena of wake induced vibration and VIV help maximize uptime and reduce risk," said Daniel Reagan, Pulse's Senior Engineer for structural monitoring. |
Pulse Structural Monitoring, part of the Acteon group, has been contracted by ATP Oil & Gas to supply a real-time riser monitoring system for the ATP Titan platform supporting the Telemark Hub field development in the GoM.
