1. In the Izod method, the test material

was placed in a vertical position, while
in the Charpy method, the test
material was placed horizontally.

2. The notch in the izod test is facing the

striker, fastened in a pendulum, while in
the charpy test, the notch is positioned
away from the striker.

3. In the Charpy method, there are two

kinds of notches, the V-notch and the U-
notch, while in the Izod method, there is
only one kind of notch

Charpy ::
This method proved to be reliable, and
gave qualitative collision data.

ƒIntroduction

ƒFixed Platform Description
 1.0 INTRODUCTION
• Oil and gas are considered among the world's most important resources.
The oil and gas industry plays a critical role in driving the global economy.

• Oil is not only an essential raw material to over 2,000 end products but is
also used for transportation, heating, electricity and lubrication. It supplies
about 50% of the world’s total energy requirements.

• About 90 countries produce oil, although a few major producers account for
the bulk of world output.

• Oil and gas reserves are heavily concentrated in the Middle East, and gas
in the Russian Federation. About 40% of the world’s crude oil are supplied by
12 OPEC countries (Algeria, Angola, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emir tes and Venezuela). They account
for about two-thirds of proven reserve.

• Major non-OPEC oil producing countries are, the United States, Mexico,
Denmark, Norway, the United Kingdom and Russia, China and Vietnam.
1.1 The Industry
• The petroleum industry comprise upstream and downstream sectors.

• Upstream involves exploration, development, and production of oil and gas.

• Downstream covers transport, refining, petrochemicals, distribution, and retail.

1.2 Exploration
Oil and gas exploration encompasses the processes and methods involved in
locating and discovering potential sites for oil and gas drilling and extraction. This is the
first-stage of oil and gas production. Many uncertainties exist during
the exploration process. Geological surveys are conducted for onshore exploration
and seismic imaging for offshore exploration.
1.3 Drilling & Extraction
Drilling is the final stage in the exploration process. When 3D seismic has been
completed, it is time to drill the well. Onshore exploration relies on fixed or mobile
drillings rigs. Offshore exploration can require fixed offshore Jackup drill rigs, Semi-
Submersible drill rigs and Deep Water Drill Ships. Larger production platforms may

positioning. Semi-submersible can be used in depths from 600 to 6,000 feet (180 to

• Drillships, a maritime vessel that has been fitted with drilling apparatus. It is most often
used for exploratory drilling of new oil or gas wells in deep water but can also be used
for scientific drilling. It is often built on a modified tanker hull and outfitted with a
dynamic positioning system to maintain its position over the well.

 2.0 TYPES OF OFFSHORE PLATFORMS

The different development options can be broadly classified into three

categories:

• fixed platforms,

• floating systems,

• subsea systems
Shallow water complex:
They contain several independent platforms with different parts of the process and
utilities limked with gangway bridges. Individual platforms may include Wellhead

Living Quarters, Production & Gas Compression Modules on a

2.2 Floating Production Systems

These include TLPs, FPS’s, spars, and FPSOs. All four have to be moored in
place with tendons or wire rope and chains in order to stay connected to the wells
below.

• Tension leg platforms (TLPs);- these have floating hulls made of buoyant
columns and pontoons. Steel pipe tendons hold the hull below their natural
level of flotation keeping the tendons in tension and the hull in place

• Spar platforms;- consists of a single tall floating cylinder hull, supporting a

fixed deck. The large cylinder, weighted at the bottom stabilises the structure
in water. Eight to 16 wire or synthetic rope and chain combinations moor the

or a semisubmersible hulls with production facilities on board.

 • Floating production, storage and offloading systems (FPSOs):
These have large ship shape, made either converted tankers or new
construction. They have no drilling capability. Moored to place with
rope and chain. They process production from subsea wells and
store large crude oil volumes, accumulated for later transport by shuttle tankers.

2.3 Subsea Systems

These can have single or multiple wellheads on the sea floor

connected directly to a host platform or to a subsea manifold. The
systems include connections by flowlines and risers to fixed or floating

50 T
• Both are very similar with min. yield stress of 50ksi (50T has
higher range though 50-80ksi compared to 50-75ksi of 50).
From structural point, only 50ksi is allowed to be used in the
design so basically same. However, 50T has higher tensile
strength of 70ksi than 65ksi of 50. Both are primary steel
used in critical places (like jacket major joint can etc.) with
all kinds of supplementary requirements.
