摘要:Offshore Structures play a major role in the exploitation of oil and natural gases from marineenvironment and are also useful in other services such as navigation, met-ocean data collection, communication,monitoring, offshore wind power generation, etc. Depending upon the marine environmental conditions such as waterdepth, seabed nature, extreme conditions at sea and magnitude and type of the operational activities, different kinds ofoffshore platforms such as gravity, fixed, floating, semi-submersible, compliant, articulated structure, etc., are beingadopted. As far as material of the construction is concerned, steel plays major role followed by concrete becausestrength to weight ratio of steel is more. Steel offshore jacket platform is a type of offshore structure, which is fixed tothe sea bed and is provided with a deck at its top that acts as platform used for all the activities involved in theproduction and supply process. Researchers have been working on the stability and sustainability of offshore platformsto minimize the problems associated in the design process, fabrication, installation and the operations performed on theplatforms. However, these problems are being addressed continuously. Various advancements are been made toovercome the hurdles of designing, fabrication, installation and operations using standard provisions namely ISO 19902and API RP 2A. Thus, in the present paper an attempt has been done to review the available literature towards thevarious advancements made in jacket platform with respect to material, transportation and installation process.
