    Due to the specific manufacturing processes in offshore engineering, work at height is highly prevalent, particularly during the assembly phases of large structures such as modules and jackets, where the frequency of work at height and multi-level crossover operations, as well as the potential fall height, are continuously increasing. This paper provides a classified review of current domestic and international research on work-at-height safety. It systematically examines the definition and identification criteria of work at height and proposes comprehensive preventive measures based on domestic and international regulatory standards and engineering practices. These measures encompass multiple aspects, including engineering technology, management, personnel, and physical protection. To ensure the inherent safety of scaffolding, the paper discusses different types of scaffolding and their selection during construction, aiming to provide a safety management framework for work at height in the offshore engineering manufacturing industry. This framework is designed to effectively reduce accident rates and ensure operational safety.

    WENG Xi, TAN Jingxuan, ZHOU Yong, ZHANG Wei
    Ocean Engineering Equipment and Technology    2025, 12 (2): 136-139.   DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2025.02.29

    The “Hai Yang Shi You 123”FPSO crude oil cooler is a plate heat exchange, which normally operates with one in use and one as backup. As the oil production in the oilfield gradually increases, the load on the crude oil cooler gradually increases, resulting in poor heat exchange efficiency. Through physical property analysis of oilfield crude oil, the main reason for the poor heat exchange effect of the cooler is that the crude oil has a high wax content, a high wax precipitation point, and severe wax deposition on the side plate wall of the crude oil, which reduces the heat exchange capacity between the crude oil and seawater. To efficiently solve this problem, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on the equipment structure and process status of the crude oil cooler. A creative idea was proposed to optimize the two coolers into series operation, the application effect of the cooler series connection was verified on site, providing a reference for the stable operation of FPSO in the future.

    LIU Yixiang, LI Peng, LIU Jiannan, WANG Kun, SHI Hemu
    Ocean Engineering Equipment and Technology    2025, 12 (2): 120-126.   DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2025.02.26

    The submerged turret production (STP) single-point mooring system operates in an environment subjected to the combined effects of mooring forces, wind, waves, and currents. Through contact with structures such as the buoyancy and mating cone module (MCM), it transfers the impact of these loads to the hull. Under the prolonged influence of alternating loads, the MCM is prone to fatigue issues at positions where structural stress is concentrated, potentially leading to crack initiation; under extreme wind and wave conditions, there may even be a failure of structural ultimate strength, rendering the floating production storage offloading (FPSO) unable to operate normally. Therefore, developing a design for a multi-parameter monitoring and early warning system that is safe, reliable, and stable for the STP single-point system is crucial for ensuring the normal, steady, and secure operation of the FPSO. This paper focuses on the MCM of a certain FPSO, conducting structural finite element analysis to calculate the stress distribution state of the MCM structure under working conditions, identifying high-stress locations in critical areas, and providing recommendations for sensor placement schemes. This lays the groundwork for developing a monitoring and early warning system for the STP single point and arranging stress sensors.

    Based on the on-site actual design and operation data of the post installed lubricating oil coalescence separation system of natural gas compressors in offshore gas fields. The filtration performance of the filter element in the coalescence separation system under the same aerosol dust generation conditions is studied, and the influence of operating variables such as temperature, gas volume, and aerosol concentration on the stability of the filter element filtration performance is examined. The experimental results show that the larger the air filtration capacity of the filter element, the less affected the concentration and temperature on the filtration efficiency, and the better the stability of the filtration efficiency. When the amount of filtered gas remains constant, the lower the temperature, the less affected the change in aerosol concentration on the filtration efficiency, and the more stable the operation; The higher the aerosol concentration, the less affected the temperature change on the filtration efficiency, and the more stable the operation. This article can provide references for the operation control and optimization of coalescence filters in actual production of gas fields.

    Based on the analysis of the operational mode and management regulations of the first mobile oil platform in China, combined with the characteristics of its export operation, this paper analyzes the regulatory feasibility of the platform according to the fixed platform from the aspects of maritime supervision focus, platform characteristics, oil spill pollution sources and related technical standards, policies and regulations. Although the platform has certain technical characteristics of “ship”, it is not for the purpose of maritime transportation, and its own moving characteristics are not obvious, and its transport operation is similar to that of fixed platform. Therefore, during the normal operation of the platform, under the premise of meeting the existing policies and regulations, the use of appropriate on-site safeguard measures can be supervised and managed according to the fixed platform, that is, it will be more reasonable and efficient to manage according to the two different states of the mobile platform (production and towing).

This study comprehensively assesses the technical and economic viability of producing green hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia using offshore wind power. By calculating the costs of hydrogen production, methanol synthesis, and ammonia synthesis under varying electricity costs, the study analyzes how electricity prices affect the economic viability of green hydrogen and its derivatives. The results indicate that when the electricity cost is 0.35 yuan per unit, the current alkaline electrolysis hydrogen production technology yields a hydrogen cost of 24.66 yuan/kg in the scenario of offshore wind power and onshore hydrogen production, with methanol and ammonia production costs of 5457.55 yuan/ton and 4999.43 yuan/ton, respectively. The study emphasizes that electricity cost is the key factor influencing economic viability. Reducing renewable energy electricity costs and enhancing electrolysis efficiency are crucial for boosting the competitiveness of green hydrogen and its derivatives. Finally, the article proposes suggestions for the coordinated development of policies, technologies, and industries to promote the industrialization of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
