EXECTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the metocean design and operation criteria for the Platong Field and the area
nearby. The applicable area of the metocean data is recommended to be within 30 nautical miles
of the platform Platong Living Quarter (PLLQ).
The primary metocean data source used to calculate the statistics is the metocean data collected at
the PLLQ. A metocean station was set up in August 2004 with meteorological and oceanographic
sensors installed in stages. Wind and meteorological parameters were available from August 2004,
surface currents and waves from April 2007, and current profiles from November 2008. The in-situ
measure data up to December 2017 are used in this report. The secondary data source is the long
term model data of wind, wave, and currents. The model data covered a 39 year period 1979 to
2017.
Extreme values of wind, wave, and current were derived for the return periods of 1, 10, 25, 50, 100,
and 1000 years. The extreme values of all return periods were also derived for 8 direction sectors
and for each calendar month. The extreme values for return periods of 1, 10, and 25 years were
derived from the measured data which represents the non-cyclonic conditions as the platform
location were not hit directly by a cyclone in the period when the measured data were collected.
The extreme values for the return periods of 50, 100, and 100 years were derived from the model
data because of its much longer coverage, which included the period when the location was hit
directly by a tropical cyclone of Typhoon strength.
This section presents the omni-directional and all-year metocean design criteria (Table S.1) and
some summary statistics of important metocean parameters (Table S.2). The statistics of wind,
wave, and surface current is also displayed in a graph in Figure S.1

1. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the metocean design and operational criteria for the Platong Field and its
adjacent area, centered at the platform Platong Living Quarter (PLLQ). The coordinates of the
platform are:
PLLQ: 9°41'21.6"N, 101°24'27.2"E
Water depth at the location is 73m. Figure 1, attached to this section, illustrates the location of the
platform. The map also shows the locations of the other two platforms, BELQ and PALQ, for which
the metocean design and operational criteria have been also derived and presented in separate

In-situ Measured Data Coverage
Model Data
The in-situ measured data covers a period of about 13 years for the winds and meteorological
parameters, and 9 years for waves and currents. In the 13 year period when the measured data
were available, there was only one topical cyclone that passed within 60 nautical miles (100km) of
the study location. The maximum wind speed recorded was only 25 knots in the period when the
topical cylone was within the radius. The most severe topical cyclone the study location
experienced occurred in November 1989, numbered 32WP (1 to 10 November 1989) by Joint
Typhoon Warning Center. The center of the tropical cyclone passed within 30 nautical miles of the
study location and the maximum wind speed was 90 knots while it was within the 40 nautical miles
radius. In the period 1979 to 2017, a total of 7 tropical cyclones passed within 60 nautical miles of
the study location.
The wind data were extracted from the global atmospheric model Climate Forecast System Re-
analysis (CFSR) dataset. The CFSR dataset was developed by NOAA's National Centers for
Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The data for this study were from NOAA's National Operational
Model Archive and Distribution System (NOMADS) which was maintained at NOAA's National
Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The dataset covers the period Jan 1979 to Dec 2017.

Offshore Weather
The primary wave data used for this study were derived from a global wave model built in-house
based on the widely used Wave Watch III developed at the National Centers for Environmental
Prediction (NCEP), the USA. The wind data used to drive the wave model are derived from the
CFSR dataset. The grid size of the global wave model is 0.2 x 0.2 degrees. The wave model was
run in hindcast mode to simulate wave climate for the 39 year period, 1979 to 2017. The secondary
data source is the satellite remote sensing data from TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason 1 Missions,
which was managed by Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA. The data is available since 1993.
An in-house developed ocean current model was used to simulate tidal and weather driven currents
in the South China Sea. The model was run in hindcast mode for the 31 year period, 1979 to 2009.
Current speeds and directions, and weather induced water level surges at the study location were
extracted from the model results and used to calculate the design criteria for return periods of 50
years and greater.
The modeled wind, wave, and current data were calibrated against the measured data. The
calibration processes estimated the errors of the models for the period when the measured data
was available. The correction then was applied to the whole modeled data set.
Tropical Cyclone Track Data

Tropical cyclone track data, including centre locations and strengths, were extracted from a
database maintained by US Navy Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The tropical cyclone best track
database is available since 1945 for the West Pacific. However, the accuracy of the tropical
cyclone track data was improved significantly only after satellite measurements were routinely used
for determining the centre and strength of the tropical cyclones since 1979.
3.2 Analysis Method

Wind Speed Scaling
The wind sensors at PLLQ are at 37.2m above CD. Wind speeds, therefore, have been scaled to
10m above MSL before the statistical analysis and presentation. The equation used for wind speed
scaling is recommended by American Petroleum Institute (API):
𝑡
𝑢(𝑧, 𝑡) = 𝑈(𝑧) × �1 − 0.41 × 𝐼𝑢 (𝑧) × ln �𝑡 ��,
0
where the 1-hour mean wind speed U(z) at level z is given by:
𝑧
𝑈(𝑧) = 𝑈0 × �1 + 𝐶 × 𝑙𝑛 � ��
10
1
𝐶 = 5.73 × 10−2 × (1 + 0.15 × 𝑈0 )2
and where the turbulence intensity Iu(z) at level z is given by:

Offshore Weather
𝑧 −0.22
𝐼𝑢 (𝑧) = 0.06 × �1 + 0.043 × 𝑈0 × � � �
10
where Uo is the 1-hour mean wind at 10m above sea level.
The design and operational criteria of 1-min mean and 1-hour mean winds were derived from the
10-min mean winds using the formula recommended by American Petroleum Institute (API). The
extreme values of the 3-sec gust for the return periods of 1, 10, and 25 years were derived from the
measured data and that for the return period of 50, 100, and 1000 years using the relationship
described above.
Statistical Analysis
All statistical analysis software is developed in-house based on text book formula, which comply
with various standards used by the offshore and gas industries.
Extreme Value Analysis

A new time series of metocean data have been created by superimposing the measured data onto
the modeled data. Extreme value analysis is conducted on the combined data sets. Extreme
values for the return periods of 1, 10, 25 years have been derived for the non-cyclonic conditions,
which is defined as the period when there are no tropical cyclones within 600 nautical miles of the
study location. Extreme values for the return period of 50, 100, and 1000 years are derived for
cyclonic conditions.
For extreme value analysis, Peak Over Threshold (POT) method had been used. Five distribution
functions, i.e. Weilbull 3-Parameters, Gumbel, Exponential, Fisher-Tippet 2-Parameters, and
Fisher-Tippet 3-Parameters, were employed, and fitting methods of least squared-root and most
likelihood were used for fitting each distribution functions. It was found the Fisher-Tippet 2-
Parameters function gave results very different from other distribution functions. The Fisher-Tippet
2-Parameters function was, therefore, excluded from the extreme value analysis for all parameters.
The results from all other distribution functions paired with the two fitting methods were averaged to
generate the final extreme value analysis results.

4. Discussions
The metocean design and operational criteria derived and presented in this report is applicable to
the location of the platform Platong Living Quarter (PLLQ) and its surrounding area. The radius of
the applicable area is generally recommended as 30 nautical miles.
4.1 Design Criteria

Extreme values of metocean parameters for the return periods of 50, 100, and 1000 years are
usually used for the purpose of designing permanent structures. Hence, those extreme values
were derived for all conditions, including the period tropical cyclones passed nearby or hit the study
location directly.
Extreme values for the return periods of 1, 10, and 25 years are usually used for design of
temporary structures and operation planning, therefore, were calculated for the non-cyclonic
conditions.
It should be noted that, for the period of 1945 to 2017, the most severe tropical cyclone that hit the
study location directly occurred in November 1989. The maximum wind speeds were 90 knots
when the tropical cyclone was within 30 nautical miles of the study location and stayed within 40
nautical miles of the study location for 12 hours.
The models hindcast winds, waves, and currents for the period of 1979 to 2017. The key reason to
choose 1979 as the earliest year of the hindcast is that the quality of the tropical cyclone track data
were greatly improved after the satellites observations were routinely used to measure the center
location and strength of the tropical cyclones in 1979. So the CFSR model datasets, which
provided the model wind data, went back to 1979 only. The modeled wind data were used both in
the wave model and in the current model. Therefore the hindcast of waves and currents also
started in 1979.
All design criteria (extreme values) of the metocean parameters are included in Appendix A of the
report. The design criteria data were derived for the omni-direction and all year, each calendar
month, and 8 direction sectors, i.e. N, NE, E, SE S, SW, W, and NW.
Tropical Cyclones
In the period 1979 to 2017, there were 7 tropical cyclones in total that passed within 60 nautical
miles of the study location. The most severe one occurred in November 1989 when the maximum
wind speed reached 90 knots while the centre of the tropical cyclone was within the 40nm radius.
That means the study location could have experienced the maximum wind of 90 knots (equivalent
to about 40m/s of 10-min mean wind speed). This strong tropical cyclone contributes greatly to the
design criteria of 50-year or longer return periods.
The tropical cyclones occurred in December 2006 and November 2017 had the measured data to
compare with. For the tropical cyclone in December 2006, The maximum 1-min mean wind speed

Offshore Weather
recorded was 33.2 knots when the tropical cyclone hit the study location, higher than the maximum
central wind speed of 25 knots as reported by JTWC's best track data.
As for the tropical cyclone occurred in November 2017, the strongest 1-min mean wind speed
recorded at PLLQ was only 22 knots when the cyclone hit the study location, which is lower than
the maximum central wind speed of 30 knots reported by JTWC's tropical cyclone track data. In
fact, our meteorologist stationed onsite SALQ raised the question as the depression's strength was
not enough to be included in the tropical cyclone track data, even though the sustained winds near
Benchamas Field reached between 25-30 knots for a short period of 1-2 hours.
The following table lists all the tropical cyclones that passed within 60 nautical miles of the study
location.

4.2 Operational Criteria

All operational criteria of the metocean parameters were derived from the in-situ measured data.
Wind
The observed data were available for the period 8 August 2004 to 31 December 2017. Overall data
coverage rate for the analysis period is 90%. There were large gaps in the data in 2004 when the
met station was just installed. Data return had been very high since 2005. The monthly data
coverage was above 79% for all time. The data coverage is considered adequate for the overall
period as well as for each of the 12 calendar months.
It should be noted that the recorded wind speeds are 1-min mean values as at the height of the
sensor. The wind speeds have been scaled to 10m above MSL and averaged to 10 minute mean
values before statistical analysis is conducted.
The maximum wind speeds recorded in the 13 years was 17.0m/s (34 knots), occurred in July. It is
noted that the monthly maximum wind speeds during the SW monsoons (late May to September)
were all above 16m/s except for September, greater than that during the NE monsoons (November

Offshore Weather
to February), which were between 11.4 and 16.6m/s. The 1% percentiles of wind speeds also
show the same pattern.
The dominant wind direction, defined as the direction with the highest occurrence, was from the SE
during the NE monsoons and from the W during the SW monsoons.
Percentage joint frequency of occurrence, percentage occurrence, and percentage exceedence,

which give more detailed statistical information, are included in Appendices B.
Gusts of up to 26.4m/s (53 knots) were recorded, occurred in November. The maximum gusts
recorded for each calendar month are between 18m/s and 26m/s.
Wave
Operational criteria of wave were derived using the observed data made between 13 April 2007 and
31 December 2017. The results are included in Appendix C.
The maximum significant wave height recorded during the data period was 3.8m, occurred in July.
Averaged significant wave height for December was 0.89m, which was the highest of all months.
The monthly dominant wave direction was either SE or E during the NE monsoon, and the SW or W
during the SW monsoon. The dominant wave direction for the whole data period was the S.
Monthly and all-year joint frequency of significant wave height and mean wave direction are
presented in Appendix B, as well as monthly and all-year joint frequency of significant wave height
and zero-up-crossing period. Both percentage occurrence and number occurrence for the later are
derived and displayed.
Summary statistics are produced for Maximum Wave Height, Zero-up-crossing Period, and Spectral
Peak Period. Monthly and all-year percentage occurrences and exceedences are also derived for
these parameters.
The longest zero-up-crossing period recorded was 11.8 seconds, recorded in October. Average
zero-up-crossing period was 4.3 seconds over the whole data period.
The wave periods during the NE monsoons were longer than in other seasons, and wave periods in
May were shorter than in other months. The monthly average zero-up-crossing period was 4.7
second in December and 3.9 seconds in May. In May, most zero-up-crossing periods (53.7%) were
between 3.5 and 4.0 seconds. In December, the most frequent zero-up-crossing period shifted to
the band of 4.5 to 5.0 seconds, with percentage occurrence of 43.5 seconds.
Spectral peak period data shows the similar seasonal and inter-year variation patterns as zero-up-
crossing period. Spectral peak period varied between 2.0 seconds and 17.1 seconds for the entire

Offshore Weather
data period. The monthly average spectral period was longest in December, at 5.5 seconds, and
shortest in May, at 4.3 seconds.
Currents
The near-surface current data was measured at 5.7m below Chart Datum. The data was available
for the period 13 April 2007 to 30 December 2017. The measured currents data for the upper and
mid levels, i.e. 20% of water depth and 50% of water depth were available for the period 18
November 2008 to 31 December 2017. The near-bed current data were for the period 18
November 2008 to 30 December 2014.
It should be noted that the current direction is the direction towards which the water flows.
The near-bed current data were measured at 7.5m above seabed, which was the lowest level the
ADCP could measure. That level is different from the one used in the design criteria, which was set
at 2m above seabed.
The maximum near-surface current speed was 0.71m/s (1.4 knots), recorded in June. The monthly
maximum current speeds was the highest in December, at 0.86m/s, and the lowest in October, at
0.51m/s. The monthly mean current speeds varied between 0.12m/s and 0.17m/s.
The dominant current direction at the near-surface level was mostly NW during the SW monsoon.
Currents direction changed to flowing towards the N during the NE monsoon. The consistency of
current direction was low at all seasons. In December, 28.3% of the currents flowed to the N and
another 23.9% to the NW. In August, the dominant currents flowed to the NW (32.9%) and the W
(25.0%).
The maximum current speeds at the other 3 lower levels were 0.72m/s, 0.75m/s, and 0.52m/s,
respectively.
Water Level
Water level data is available for the period 13 April 2007 to 31 December 2017. The datum used
for the water level data is LAT, which is derived from the measured data for the period 13 April
2007 to 31 December 2010.
Harmonic analysis of the water level data indicated a great non-astronomical component in the
measured water level data. The strong non-astronomical component of water level data could be
due to the short term weather effect, such as local storms, and the seasonal weather effects, such
as that caused by monsoons or tropical cyclones. The inter-year variations in the weather
conditions can also contribute to the non-astronomical water level variations.
The measured water levels varied between 2.07m and -0.12m above LAT. The level below LAT is
due to the strong non-astronomical factors in the water level data that can’t be represented by the

Offshore Weather
harmonic constants. For the same reason, the highest recorded water level, at 2.07m, was about
0.45m above HAT, which is 1.62m above LAT.
The monthly average water level was lower during the SW monsoons and higher during the NE
monsoon. For the whole data period, the monthly averaged water level was 0.54m above LAT for
June, the lowest of all months, and 0.95m above LAT for December, the highest of all months.
Apart from the statistics of percentage occurrence and percentage exceedence, harmonic
constants and tidal descriptors are derived and presented. Because most tidal prediction routines
included in other application software take the 4 major harmonic constituents only (M2, S2, K1, O1),
the long period harmonic constituents are not included in the harmonic constant table. Instead, the
th
monthly variations of MSL applicable to the 1 day of each calendar month were calculated and
presented.
Water Temperature
Water temperature data were available for two levels, 5.7m and 9.5m below CD. The water
temperature data at 5.7m below CD is available for the period 13 April 2007 to 31 December 2017,
and the water temperature data for the 9.5m level was available from 18 November 2008 to 31
December 2017.
Over the data period, the water temperature varied between 26.7°C and 32.2°C at 5.7m below CD,
and between 28.0°C and 33.5°C at the 9.5m level. There was a clear seasonal pattern in water
temperature at both levels. The average water temperature at 5.7m below CD was 28.4°C for
January, the lowest of all months, and 30.7°C in May, the highest of all months. The monthly
average water temperature varied between 26.2°C (October) and 33.5°C (August) at the 9.5m
level. The differences in water temperatures between the two levels were less than 1.0°C for most
of the time, and less than 0.5°C in a significant length of time.
Ambient Meteorological Parameters

Air temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure are available for the period 8 August
2004 to 31 December 2017. And the precipitation data was available from 22 December 2009 to
31 December 2017. The barometric pressure has been scaled to MSL before the data was
recorded to the database, while others were at the sensor level, which is 37m above MSL.
It is noted that the air temperature can be very high during the NE monsoon in occasions, even
though the air temperature was generally low in that season. For example, the maximum air
temperature recorded in December reached to 36.4°C, highest of all months, even though the
monthly mean temperature was only 28.2°C, higher than only January and February.
The relative humidity can be as low as 30.9%, recorded in June. The monthly average relative
humidity was between 71.2% (January) and 74.7% (April) through the year. Barometric pressure
ranged from 966.7hPa to 1020.3hPa for the whole data period. Highest rain fall recorded at PLLQ

Offshore Weather
was 61mm/hr. It appears that February and April were the driest months, with the averaged
monthly accumulative precipitation below 57mm, while July and November were the wettest
months, with monthly average accumulative rain fall of 202mm and 180mm, respectively.
