1 HEIDRUN TLP MODEL TESTS Summary of results (Pictures and figures are partly prepared by Marintek personel) Sverre Haver, Statoil, December Content: Background for and aim of model test Model and instrumentation Environmental conditions Phase Examples, results and conclusions Phase Examples, results and conclusions Comparison with original design values December Heidrun TLP Model Tests - Summary Background and Aim More severe accidental wave conditions (i.e. wave conditions corresponding to an annual probability of - ) are predicted. Significant wave height increased from 8.6m to m. (ULS sea state conditions ( - ) are more or less as before, increased from 5.5m to 6m.) With updated accidental wave conditions, the topside structure (in particular the MSBs) is much more exposed to wave impacts than accounted for in original design. Due to these impacts, increased structural response is expected in lower hull, in main support beams (MSBs), in tethers, and in tether connections to hull and bottom foundation. Life boats may also be exposed to wave impacts. The aim of the model test is to establish the background for predicting reliable estimates for the - response in all structural elements mentioned above. Phase should identify the critical - environmental condition and ensure that a proper instrumentation was carried out. Phase should ensure that the inherent randomness of the extremes was accounted for by executing a large number of realizations for the critical environmental condition.

Target wave period (s) Target wave height (m) December Heidrun TLP Model Tests - Summary OBSERVATIONS FROM REGULAR WAVE TESTS The most critical individual waves are steep waves with a rather large crest height. Too much weight should not be given to the total tether forces shown in table on previous page in particularly not for the highest waves. When repeating such extreme waves, the offset and therefore the setdown will be very much amplified. The mean tension will be significantly overestimated (5-%) as compared to the mean tension in a severe storm. Focus should be on the dynamic tension. However, this quantity is also somewhat conservative since an overestimation of the set-down will make topside more exposed to wave impacts. The criticality of steep waves may seem to be in conflict with the selected extreme sea state, h s = m and t p = s (irregular sea state). However, this sea state is likely to be of a combined nature, i.e. a considerable amount of the energy is concentrated around a period band much shorter than s, see figure next page.

12 AIRGAP AT FRONT OF MSB-WEST 5 deg. Wave crest reaches MSB for an airgap of less than 8.5m December Heidrun TLP Model Tests - Summary CONCLUSIONS OF PHASE The most critical - sea state is the sea state defined by h s =m and t p =s. Large tether loads are also observed for a sea state defined by h s =8.8m and t p =7s. The largest deck impact loads are observed for beam sea direction. A comparable tether load level is observed for both the diagonal and the beam sea direction. This because fewer tethers () have to carry the most of the dynamic load for the diagonal direction. (In original design the diagonal direction was found to be the most critical direction because deck impacts were less pronounced.) In Phase a large number () of runs with different random seeds of the critical sea state are carried out for both beam sea and diagonal sea. For the most extreme events, the tests are repeated without the deck structure in order to isolate deck impact induced ringing from classical ringing. December Heidrun TLP Model Tests - Summary
