Dramatic failure of materials in drilling platforms at sea
Oil platforms, offshore platforms, or more colloquially oil rigs are huge engineering structures for enabling to drill wells, to extract and process oil and natural gas, or to temporarily store product until it can be brought to shore for refining and marketing. In many cases, the platform contains facilities to house the workforce as well.
Depending on the circumstances, the platform may be fixed to the ocean floor, may consist of an artificial island, or may float. Remote subsea wells may also be connected to a platform by flow lines and by umbilical connections. These subsea solutions may consist of one or more subsea wells, or of one or more manifold centres for multiple wells.
Material failure on oil platforms and the assoiated gear parts is unforging as huge ocean portions can be polluted and many animals killed.
A few examples of collapsed platforms are :
Alexander L. Kielland
In 1980, the semi-submersible accommodation rig Alexander L. Kielland capsized during a storm after a leg support brace failed.
Al Mariyah Al Mariyah
Whilst skidding the rig cantilever, the jack-up Al Mariyah collapsed and lost its derrick onto the platform below.
Maersk Victory Maersk Victory
A punch-through caused extensive damage to the Maersk Victory while working in Australian waters in 1996.
Ocean Prince Ocean Prince
The UK-built semi-sub Ocean Prince, finder of the first UK offshore oil, broke up off England's east coast during a storm in 1967.
Parker 14-J Parker 14-J Drilling Barge
Failure of the jacking mechanism caused the Parker rig to collapse in 2003.
Ranger I Ranger I
After being jacked up on location in 1979, the rig Ranger I collapsed due to fatigue in the stern leg.
Sea Gem Sea Gem
One of the first drilling rigs in the North Sea, the Sea Gem collapsed in 1965 as a result of metal fatigue.
Transocean 3
A rare self-elevating semi-submersible, the Transocean III capsized and sank East of Orkney after a jackable leg broke away in 1974.
Bohai 2
In 1979, the jack-up Bohai 2 capsized and sank in a storm while on tow off the coast of China.
Interocean II Interocean II
After a dramatic crew rescue in 1989, the Interocean II sank in a North Sea storm after towline failure.
Key Biscayne Key Biscayne
The Key Biscayne capsized and sank off Australia's west coast in 1983 after flooding and towline failure.
Ocean Express Ocean Express
Another casualty of towline failure, the Ocean Express sank in 1976 during a storm in Gulf of Mexico.
Ocean Master II Ocean Master II
The Ocean Master II sank off West Africa in 1977 as a result of structural problems and bad weather.
Mr Bice Mr Bice
Mr Bice sank in 1998 in the Gulf of Mexico after structural failure and flooding.
Rowan Gorilla I Rowan Gorilla I
The Rowan Gorilla I was crossing the North Atlantic in 1988 when it capsized and sank after structural failure caused by bad weather.
West Gamma West Gamma
A storm in 1990 caused structural failure and flooding to the West Gamma, resulting in its sinking after towline loss.
Lake Peigneur Lake Peigneur
In 1980, a Wilson Brothers rig on Lake Peigneur drilled into a salt mine, leading to the flooding and eventual collapse of the mine.
Ocean Ranger Ocean Ranger
A ballast control malfunction caused the Ocean Ranger to capsize during a ferocious storm in the North Atlantic in 1982, with the loss of all hands.
Petrobras P36 Petrobras P36
In 2001, an explosion destabilised the P36 production rig in the Campos Basin, Brazil, eventually causing it to sink.
Sleipner A Platform Sleipner A Platform
A design error resulted in the structural failure in 1991 of the gravity base unit of the original Sleipner A platform.
