[0017] As offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities continue to expand, the functions and scale of the platform have increased accordingly. However, the installation of the jacket is limited by the choice of offshore construction resources, especially for the Bohai Sea area, which is the first choice for jacket installation. The 3,000-ton lifting capacity of the commonly used floating crane has become a key bottleneck restricting the design and installation of the Bohai jacket. After in-depth research, it was found that the eight-leg jacket with two-wing wellheads built according to traditional steel materials and design methods weighs 3,500 tons, which exceeds the lifting capacity of the commonly used floating crane. The use of a 7,000-ton floating crane for construction is expected to increase economic investment by 20 million. Therefore, exploring how to reduce the weight of the jacket through material innovation and design optimization to adapt to the lifting capacity of the floating crane has become a key technical problem in promoting the development of Bohai oil and gas fields to a deeper level.

[0018] Based on the above technical problems, the present invention provides a standardized central platform jacket structure design method, which successfully realizes the lightweight design of the jacket structure through careful material selection, standardized design, precise structural analysis and meticulous layout optimization.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the standardized central platform jacket structure design method provided by the present invention includes the following specific steps: 1. Material selection: In the ultra-high-strength steel pipe frame of the present invention, part of the steel is ultra-high-strength steel with a yield strength of 420Mpa; 2. Unified design principle: Ultra-high strength steel weight reduction design method and principle: Taking a 22m water depth conductor frame in Bohai as an example, the bending strength of round tube steel can be calculated by the formula M=Wx*Fy / ym, where Wx is the bending modulus of the steel, Fy is the yield strength of the steel, ym is the safety factor, and ym is generally a constant. It can be obtained that the comprehensive bending capacity of round tube steel is directly related to the product of the yield strength Fy and the bending modulus Wx of its material. The bending modulus Wx of round tube steel is related to the moment of inertia Ix of the x-axis, and its calculation formula is Ix , D is the diameter of the round tube, and d is the wall thickness of the round tube. When planning the general type of ultra-high strength steel round tubes, the following principles are followed: for DH36 material (yield strength of 355MPa) round tubes with a wall thickness of 60mm or more, the present invention recommends replacing them with DH420 material (yield strength of 420MPa) with a higher yield strength.

[0020] During the optimization process, the initial step is to reduce the wall thickness: for round tubes with a diameter greater than 508mm, the optimized wall thickness is reduced by 1 / 6 to 1 / 7 of the original wall thickness. Through this design method, the steel can achieve material economy and structural lightweight while maintaining the structural bending resistance. The method of the present invention takes the commonly used circular tubular steel in the main leg of the Bohai conductor frame as an example. The general planning effect is as follows: the wall thickness is optimized from 80mm to 68mm. While achieving the same bending strength effect, the ultra-high strength circular steel with a general design provided by the method of the present invention can reduce the weight by 15% compared to the traditional circular steel. For the Bohai conductor frame, the present invention selects the main legs, horizontal layers and X-braces for high-strength steel weight reduction and other strong replacements.

Structural analysis: Use finite element analysis (FEA) software to simulate the stress distribution and deformation of the jacket structure under the influence of environmental factors such as waves, wind loads, and ocean currents, and conduct structural analysis to ensure that the design meets the expected service life and safety performance. If there are rods that do not meet the requirements, they will be strengthened and adjusted.

[0023] 4. Installation analysis: Towing, hoisting and docking analysis of the jacket to ensure that the jacket installation plan is reasonable and reliable.

[0024] 5. Optimize layout: Based on the results of unified design, structural analysis and installation analysis, the layout of the jacket structure is optimized. Topology optimization and morphology optimization techniques are used to optimize material distribution. Through an iterative design process, the structural layout is gradually improved to achieve the predetermined optimal performance goal.
