Expanding

As the leading offshore classification society, DNV has more than 40 years of experience in providing classification and statutory certification services for offshore units. Offshore classification is based on our own offshore standards, developed over several decades. DNV takes a holistic approach to classification that incorporates advanced theoretical analysis and relevant industry standards, as well as our extensive industry experience and internal knowledge base. We help the industry in its pursuit of valuable energy resources, by identifying, assessing and managing risk.

offshore operations safely

the oil and gas industry is increasingly exploring and exploiting resources at remote offshore sites. Operators need to stay longer on location, executing complex activities with the use of new and adapted technology solu-tions. At the same time, the public is aware and intolerant of accidents and environmental damage. As a result, demonstrating and assuring the integrity and safety of offshore units is more important than ever before.

A broad range of stakeholders, such as finan-

cial institutions, shareholders, insurers and

the public, are focused on safety and reliability

in the oil and gas industry. Consequently,

there is a declining tolerance of incidents

leading to death, injury or environmental

impact. Through offshore classification, DNV

helps clients to ensure and demonstrate ade-

quate safety, reliability and regulatory compli-

ance, throughout the lifecycle of an asset.

the dnv apprOaCh

DNV Offshore Classification establishes

basic requirements for Mobile Offshore

Units (MOUs), and verifies the required

safety standards during design, construction

and operation. It is based on both theoreti-

cal analysis and practical experience.

Our classification activities include:

lifeCyCle serviCes

The following components are integral to

the integrated, lifecycle, risk management

approach of offshore classification.

Design approval

Operating MOUs and Floating Production,

Storage and Offloading units (FPSOs)

requires subscribing to a policy of zero toler-

ance of failure. However, there is a danger

of wasting resources by over-specifying

requirements. While we normally issue clas-

sification-based assurance independent of

location, our classification can also be linked

to particular locations and environmental

conditions, to meet the client’s specific

operational needs.

Lifecycle assurance of safe and reliable operationthe cost of delivering hydrocarbons to the market is rising, as are external stakeholder concerns about environmental damage and accidents. this makes risk management essential. Classification provides a structure for managing risks related to offshore units.

serViCes OVerVieW

Mobile Offshore Drilling Units’ (MODUs) pri-mary purpose is to drill holes rapidly, get quickly to the next location, and repeat. how ever, mod-ern MODUs are now expected to function as platforms for any activities that the operator of the field wishes to execute in support of wells and subsea developments.

MODUs must be functional, always available, reli-able and able to survive whatever the environment and the drilling crew might throw at them. the owner must be able to continuously demonstrate the integrity of the unit to all stake holders.

the DNV approach to classification of MODUs

recognises operational and business demands. it includes:

Dedicated offshore standardsXu

specially trained, and dedicated, MODU Xu

survey staff A rig coordinator appointed for each unitXu

in-service inspection programmes pre-Xu

pared for each unit A database of all defects ever found on Xu

DNV-classed units

the owners of DNV-Classed MODUs typically work closely with DNV and use DNV’s systems to maintain integrity and achieve availability of their units.

the industry must proactively address stakeholder concerns.

| OffshOre ClAssifiCAtiON |

By applying this flexible approach, supported

by sound risk principles, we ensure that the

optimal path is taken in verification of

designs, that requirements and criteria are

appropriate and that the objectives of the

relevant standards are met. We achieve this

within an agreed and realistic timetable.

Fabrication survey and commissioning

Prior to start of fabrication, DNV assesses the

set-up and control at the yard and major sub-

contractors’ facilities. We also carry out sur-

veys and audits. This ensures that approved

drawings and plans are being followed and

that the yard is following its own systems and

producing the required quality. Ultimately,

the fabrication survey and commissioning

activities should confirm that the unit is built

to pre-agreed standards.

Certification of materials and

components (CmC)

Construction of MOU’s involves a growing

number of potential providers of materials,

components and systems. This creates

uncertainty about the capabilities of suppli-

ers, delays, and quality problems. Ultimately,

it increases the risk of incidents.

Classification requires that materials, compo-

nents or systems be certified as meeting class

and regulatory requirements before delivery to

the yard. This a vital tool for eliminating unnec-

essary supply chain delays. When coupled with

supplier assessment pre-contract services, this

creates a powerful tool for the industry to uti-

lise in managing supply chain risks.

In-service surveys

Confirming continued adherence to stand-

ards is crucial to ensuring the safety of lives at

sea. DNV leads the industry in providing own-

ers and operators with customised MOU in-

service solutions and capabilities, including:

Customised In-service Inspection Xu

Programmes (IIPs)

Operating mOus requires zero tolerance

of failure.

dnv Classification assists clients throughout

the asset lifecycle.

With global demand for offshore classi-

fication’s services continuing to grow, DNV

has reorganised its resources, in order to

improve its capability to meet client needs.

The process is supported by DNV’s state-of-

the-art Nauticus software production platform

and web-based tools such as E-Approval. DNV

Offshore Classification provides classification

services globally, for mobile offshore drilling

units, floating production units and other off-

shore installations. We assist our clients in

proactively managing their operational safety

challenges.

ClOser tO the CustOmer

“The key to success is in having qualified

resources locally to support our client needs,

balanced by access to our global network,” says

Carl Arne Carlsen, Director of Operations for

DNV Offshore Classification.

In order to achieve this, DNV is strengthen-

ing its offshore service centres in Houston,

Rio de Janeiro, South Korea, Shanghai,

Singapore, Aberdeen and Oslo. These loca-

tions feature Offshore Service and Approval

Centres catering to the local and regional

market. These centres are capable of deliv-

ering full approval and survey capabilities

covering all disciplines.

“The production work will be distributed

using Nauticus, DNV’s state-of-the-art elec-

tronic production system. In addition, DNV

fully supports the use of ‘e-Approval’, a lead-

ing initiative that is universally accepted by

the industry.

WOrldWide COOrdinatiOn

DNV has invested significantly in these changes.

As a result, our worldwide offshore classification

activities are better coordi nated.

“The latest model provides us with more

flexibility, so that we can meet – or exceed

– our customers’ expectations on delivery

of DNV services. The industry has already

responded positively to our changes,” adds

Carlsen.

The new offshore classification network has

shifted the delivery of services for the oil

and gas market, to the regional level. This

has resulted in a more active approach

across all national boundaries, using a com-

mon system and best practices to ensure a

consistent and high quality delivery for our

customers worldwide.

One positive result of the changes is the cus-

tomer delight at exeptional turnaround

times. Projects for Petrobras in Brazil being

good examples.

Organised for optimal service deliveryCustomers require services on demand, on time and on location. Our delivery model utilises key service centres at strategic locations, allowing distributed, global networking of resources. As a result, we offer industry-leading response times and real added value.

DistriBUteD PrODUCtiON

Petrobras, the Brazilian National Oil Com-pany, entrusted the development of a new production semi-submersible for the Marlim sul field, off the Brazilian coast, to engineer-ing contractor technip. Given the tight design and production schedule, technip required that all project activities be coordi-nated and executed with minimal delay or disruption.

DNV needed a solution to speed the review, verification and approval of design. to do this, we implemented our e-Approval docu-mentation handling system. the client has internet access and overview of documenta-

tion status, using our DNV exchange, inter-net based service.

e-Approval has been a critical factor in the success of the project. the faster exchange of information has resulted in a dramatically shorter response time for approval of plans. Over the course of the project, the initiative will eliminate the handling of 15,000 printed copies of documents, significantly reducing processing cost and complexity. Petrobras and technip have been extremely satisfied with the outcome of the initiative.

DNV set its first requirements for ice strength-

ening in 1881. Nansen’s famous 1892 Arctic

expedition ship “Fram” was classed to DNV

Rules and used in 1911 by Roald Amundsen

for the first trip to the South Pole. Since

then, DNV has been the leading classification

society for Arctic vessels and continues to

increase its market share for maritime and

offshore Arctic activities.

There is an increasing focus on hydrocar-

bon activities in cold climate regions, where

environmental conditions pose technologi-

cal and operating challenges for offshore

installations and crew. As many of these

regions are pristine or vulnerable, the world

expects the industry to maintain the highest

standards of HSE performance. We help

ensure that the proper requirements for

safe and environmentally friendly opera-

tions are established – and met.

For many years, DNV has addressed winteri-

sation of offshore units working in the high

north. We understand that although exist-

ing projects provide the building blocks that

bring Arctic development within reach, sig-

nificant risks remain that require additional

cross-party understanding, investment, and

technology development.

In support of these challenges, DNV offers:

Cold climate technical expertiseXu

Specific class notations for ice interac-Xu

tion, winterisation, environmental

performance and equipment

Approval in Principle (AIP) for innova-Xu

tive solutions

Guidelines for use of DNV Offshore Xu

Standards in Arctic environments

Ice specialists for risk sensitive aspects such Xu

as mooring system design, ice manage-

ment, loadings, escape and evacuation

DNV runs its own Arctic research centre, with

dedicated experts exploring cutting-edge

technologies and solutions to be applied on

behalf of our clients, in the future.

Evolving DNV classification will consider

other safety-critical areas such as operating

philosophy, human factors affecting per-

formance, ice management and disconnec-

tion systems.

Therefore, we expect that responsibly man-

aging safety in unusual operating environ-

ments will require classification clients and

societies to adapt to an evolving classifica-

tion scope. We are fully committed to this

and to working with the industry to make it

happen.

Meeting the challenge of arctic operationsA quarter of the world’s remaining oil and gas reserves lie under Arctic waters. DNV’s expertise in Arctic-related technology, operations and human factors will be crucial for exploiting these reserves. We are working closely with industry leaders to address these challenges.

Conversion of an existing vessel to a new use

has many benefits, including reduced costs

and time. However, conversion entails sig-

nificant potential risks, including unfore-

seen problems with:

The physical condition and integrity of Xu

the vessel

Scheduling and integration of destruct/Xu

construct activities

Supply chain assurance for purchased Xu

equipment and systems

The current class & flag status of the Xu

vessel

Philosophy regarding application of flag Xu

and class requirements

The choice of classification society is key in

terms of their specific working processes,

which can either contribute to the project

success or be a potential block.

exeCutiOn

The DNV method for involvement in major

conversions includes the involvement of a

local project manager, who is responsible for

the technical and commercial aspects of the

project and coordinates all DNV activities.

We utilise dedicated local resources and all

work is carried out at our local offices where

possible. This enables us to give clients a

commitment to approval turnaround time

of 3 weeks or less.

guidelines

DNV recognises that the working process for

conversions needs to be slightly different

than that of newbuilds. Some differences

include:

Acceptance of ‘used’ equipmentXu

Acceptance of field proven equipmentXu

The principle of equivalenceXu

A systems approach, rather than compo-Xu

nent review

Acceptance of international and other Xu

standards

DNV is a leader in the classification and

statutory certification of conversions of ves-

sels originally classed by DNV and other

societies.

The DNV method aims to ensure that the

requirements of class and flag/coastal state

are met, with the maximum flexibility and

consideration for project schedule, cost and

functionality.

A better decision making processthe selection of development solution for offshore hydrocarbon developments involves careful consideration of various options including building or converting an fPsO. We help you in making and executing these decisions.

CONVersiONs

dnv assists clients in assessing conversion projects.

DNV carried out a full fatigue verification of the installations in a major offshore West Africa development. Calculations were carried out according to the full stochastic fatigue analysis method. A part-ship structural model of hull structure with topsides was used in the analyses.

in the fatigue screening (global fatigue analy-sis), damages were calculated at the element stress points. the conclusion from part-ship screening considered several critical locations for detailed local analysis. the fatigue damage in hot spots was re-calculated, for more de -

tailed understanding of the local circum-stances. stress responses in areas subjected to detailed fatigue calculations were calculated, using stress concentration factor (sCf) models and the sub-modeling technique.

fatigue screening showed most critical areas with respect to fatigue strength. Based on the fatigue screening results, specific hot spot locations were identified for further refined hot spot analysis and for development of the in-service inspection Programme (iiP) provided by DNV.

For more than two decades, DNV has led the

industry in establishing guidelines and stand-

ards for fatigue design of offshore structures.

Specifically, DNV has worked with the industry

to develop a holistic, project-specific approach

for design and construction.

Fatigue has been a highly visible subject in

the industry. This is due to the cost and con-

sequences associated with fatigue cracks, the

concerns associated with Mobile Offshore

Units operating in harsh environments, and

several high profile incidents and accidents.

DNV has been at the forefront in managing

this risk, starting with the 1984 edition of

“Fatigue Strength Analysis for Mobile

Offshore Units” Classification Note 30.2.

In April 2007, we released a new “Fatigue

Method for Offshore Ships” under Recom-

mended Practice RP-C206. This RP is sup-

ported with a new “FMS” Class notation for

ship-shaped offshore units.

RP-C206 is an extension of DNV’s active role and

complements DNV’s current documen tation:

“Fatigue Assessment of Ship Structures”, Xu

Classification Note 30.7

“Recommended Strength Analysis of Xu

Offshore Steel Structures” RP-C203

The FMS class notation name is derived

from the FPSO Fatigue Methodology Speci-

fication, jointly developed by ExxonMobil

and DNV. It provides technical guidance for

the fatigue design of new-build ship-shaped

FPSO structures. This has been successfully

implemented in FPSO developments includ-

ing offshore West Africa.

DNV-RP-C206 ensures that all critical struc-

tural details are adequately designed to

meet project fatigue requirements. It forms

a basis for development of fabrication and

in-service inspection plans. This document

captures the latest knowledge, methodolo-

gies and techniques from JIPs and DNV’s

internal research, integrating it into DNV’s

Offshore Service Specifications.

The RP is focused on a full stochastic fatigue

analysis method. This technique is a “first

principles” approach, using directly calcu-

lated wave loads and stresses from site-spe-

cific metocean criteria. A load component

simplified fatigue methodology is described,

to provide a sanity check on the results.

DNV continues to contribute to the industry

understanding and management of the risks

created by fatigue in offshore structures.

Our methodology is widely accepted as the

leading approach.

A holistic approach

fatigue of offshore structures is an emotive subject, partly because this failure mechanism has led to some of the worst accidents and incidents in the industry’s history. industry leadership in fatigue analysis is essential to demonstrating reliability and safety.

DNV has been classifying ships since 1864,

and there is a clear crossover of experience

from marine verification and certification to

the oil, gas and process industries. We bring

that experience, combined with our in-depth

knowledge of risk management and tailor-

made risk tools, to assist you in meeting your

stakeholders’ goals and expectations.

Our Offshore Rules, Standards and Recom-

mended Practices cover hull, structure,

marine and industrial equipment, pipelines

and risers and marine operations.

Our clients widely use our service specifica-

tions, standards and recommended practices

as part of their project specification apart from

adopting them as their company standards.

DNV Offshore Codes consist of a three-

level hierarchy of publications:

Offshore Service Specifications: provid-Xu

ing principles and procedures of DNV

classification, certification and verifica-

tion services

Offshore Standards: providing technical Xu

provisions and acceptance criteria for

general use by the offshore industry, as well

as the technical basis for DNV offshore

services

Recommended Practices: providing Xu

proven technology and sound engineer-

ing practice as well as guidance for the

higher level Offshore Service Speci-

fications and Offshore Standards

A basic premise of the DNV offshore standards

is that, where sound and industry accepted

standards exist, DNV will not seek to duplicate

these industry standards. Accordingly, DNV

accepts the meeting of our offshore standards

via compliance with such indutry recognised

standards

DNV Offshore Codes are offered within

the following areas:

Developing codes and StandardsOur Offshore rules and standards are based on the latest technology as well as our accumulated experience. We continuously improve, revise and publish them, based on research, development and user feedback. this ensures that they are kept up-to-date.

OffshOre stANDArDs

dnv is the leader in delopment of standards.

An oil company needed to select suppliers of materials, equipment, systems and services from a large pool of potential partners. the project involved significant risks, in terms of capital loss, revenue flow and loss of reputation.

DNV was asked to assist in managing the risks involved in the process. We recommended that the client adopt the DNV MPQA (Manu facturers Product Quality Assessment) approach.

the MPQA service is a bottom-up assessment of elements which could prevent the supplier from meeting specifications. MPQA uses a series of specific protocols. expert DNV/purchaser

teams carry out assessments using the proto-cols. the inputs are used to produce quantitative and qualitative reports. this allows the purchaser to assess potential vendors, rank them, and identify potential weaknesses to be addressed later on.

DNV carried out a large number of assess-ments for the project. the client was extremely pleased to have the ability to dem-onstrate to partners the objective process used in the selection of vendors. the MPQA also generated valuable information for fol-low-up during delivery of service.

In the typical schedule for offshore develop-

ments, there are continual challenges to be

met, in order for the project to be successful

from an economic perspective. Overcoming

these challenges requires that the key partici-

pants in the project, (such as drillers, engi-

neering contractors, developers, or others)

have access to the best assistance in all areas.

However, it is often difficult for these players

to find and access resources that offer the

necessary technical competence, and are

adequately firewalled from the project, in

order to provide truly independent assistance

in assessment and decision making.

DNV is in the enviable position of possess-

ing both the necessary technical expertise

in the offshore industry and universally

acknowledged independence and integrity.

This enables us to meet client needs in a

truly supportive and unbiased way.

The DNV model in providing such services

is to concentrate on the capabilities con-

tained within the DNV organisation and fit

customised solutions to the client need.

DNV’s capabilities cover the following areas:
