Computer Aided Design of a Deepwater Floater
Recently the deepwater floater has become an encouraging option as a wet-tree floating platform supporting steel catenary risers and mainly due to its capability of quayside topside integration and cost-effectiveness.

Recently the deepwater floater has become an encouraging option as a wet-tree floating platform supporting steel catenary risers and mainly due to its capability of quayside topside integration and cost-effectiveness.

In PETRONAS, the design library of offshore floaters thus extensive iterative process is typically engage to the concept design and selection work.
