2.5 PDH certificates will be issued after the presentation. If you have more than one person viewing these webinars at your location, you can request additional PDH certificates for $10 at the email above.
Webinar Session Program:
| 8:00AM CDT | Introduction |
| 8:10AM CDT | Accident Record Speaker: Mr. Bob Jack (DNV, Noble Denton Marine Services)This presentation sets the scene for the webinar. It shows how foundation accidents fit into the overall jack-up accident regime and how they have changed with time to become one of the major causes of losses and deaths on jack-ups and lift boats. The causes and possible ways to reduce their effects are suggested. The relationship with jacking system failures, which tend to have very similar results is explored. |
| 8:30AM CDT | Geophysical Site Evaluation Speaker: Mr. Andy Hill (BP) |
| 8:50AM CDT | Geotechnical Assessments Speaker: Mr. David Menzies (Matthews Daniel)- Jack-Up Rigs – Data for Assessment – Methods of Analyses – Problem Soil Conditions – Foundation Risk Management – Foundation Case Histories |
| 9:10AM CDT | Mechanical Aspects Speaker: Mr. Mike Dowdy- Punch-thru load case – Leg & jacking system design evolution has increased consequences of punch-thru – Some Jacking system control technology has improved ability to monitor and recover RPD – Immediate response actions – Dumping preload rapidly – better dumping systems – Jacking during the event can make things worse – Designers should include nominal punch-thru load cases in leg design and specify RPD and/or punch-thru elastic limits – Deep penetration leg pulling is another critical load case |
| 9:30AM CDT | Panel Q&A Session |
| 10:00AM CDT |
