Abstract:
el objetivo es revisar las principales tesis del Conde de Keyserling en las Meditaciones suramericanas (1933) y demostrar su influencia en dos pensadores mexicanos: Samuel Ramos y Emilio Uranga. Tiene la doble originalidad de reivindicar a Keyserling como pieza clave para comprenderel proceso de “germanización” de la filosofía mexicana durante los años veinte y treinta del siglo pasado, y de rastrear por primera vez la influencia de nociones keyserlinguianas como “hombre telúrico”, “mundo abisal” y “gana” en los análisis sobre la finura y la desgana del mexicano.Se concluye que esta influencia no fue accesoria, sino decisiva, y que no se limitó a México. Por décadas, Keyserling alimentó el imaginario de filósofos y novelistas de toda Latinoamérica. El artículo adopta el presupuesto metodológico del historicismo: “una idea no viene a ser sino la forma de reacción de un determinado hombre frente a sus circunstancias”.Palabras clave: Keyserling; Meditaciones suramericanas; Filosofía de lo mexicano; Samuel Ramos; Emilio Uranga.Abstract: The purpose of this article is to review Keyserling’s main philosophical ideas and categories in his South American Meditations (published in German in 1932), and show the major influence they had on Mexican thinkers such as Samuel Ramos and Emilio Uranga. This articlesvindicates the important role of Keyserling in the “Germanization” of Mexican Philosophy in the first half of the past century, and traces for the first time the presence of some Keyserling’s notions(“hombre telúrico”, “mundo abisal”, “gana”) in the characterization of the Mexican as delicate and unwilling. This influence was decisive and spread throughout Latin America. Historicism provides the methodological assumption that an idea (even a philosophical one) is nothing but a way a concrete human being deals with her circumstances.Key words: Keyserling; South American Meditations; Mexican Philosophy; Samuel Ramos; Emilio Uranga.

Abstract:
This essay examines Gloria Anzaldúa’s critical appropriation of two Mexican philosophers in the writing of Borderlands/La Frontera: Samuel Ramos and Octavio Paz. We argue that although neither of these authors is cited in her seminal work, Anzaldúa had them both in mind through the writing process and that their ideas are present in the text itself. Through a genealogical reading of Borderlands/La Frontera, and aided by archival research, we demonstrate how Anzaldúa’s philosophical vision of the “new mestiza” is a critical continuation of the broader tradition known as la filosofía de lo mexicano, which flourished during a golden age of Mexican philosophy (1910–1960). Our aim is to open new directions in Latinx and Latin American philosophy by presenting Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera as a profound scholarly encounter with two classic works of Mexican philosophy, Ramos’ Profile of Man and Culture in Mexico and Paz’s The Labyrinth of Solitude.

Abstract:
The main purpose of this paper is to interpret the main contributions of Carmen Rovira to the study of the historical development of Mexican philosophy in its hermeneutical aspects as well as in the rescue and interpretation of the original works of Mexican philosophers since the XVI Century. In first place I analyze her hermeneutical methodology for the history of Mexican philosophy that highlights the importance of interactions between texts and contexts. Secondly, I refer to the archives rescue made by Carmen Rovira to reconstruct a Mexican philosophical corpus, especially for XIX and XX centuries. But the most relevant ofCarmen Rovira’s philosophical work is her original and critical interpretations of Mexican and Iberoamerican works, both from colonial and independent period. The most outstanding thesis of these interpretations is that during the colonial epoch Mexican philosophy was determinant for the construction of an idea of authentic nation that was very important for Mexican independence in the first decades of Nineteenth Century. Unfortunately, after Mexican independence the great cultural and political relevance of Mexican philosophydecayed. The most outstanding contribution of Carmen Rovira is precisely to recover the cultural and political relevance of philosophy in present Mexico.

Abstract:
AbstractIn mid-twentieth-century Mexican philosophy, there was a peculiar nationalist existentialist project focused on the cultural conditions of agency. This article revisits some of those ideas, including the idea that there is an important but underappreciated experience of one's relationship to norms and social meanings. This experience—something called accidentality—casts new light on various forms of social subordination and socially scaffolded agency, including cultural alienation, biculturality, and double consciousness.

Abstract:
This article explores the genesis of Mexican literary existentialism in Usigli’s 1938 play, El gesticulador. It elucidates various key drives of Mexican existentialism from Usigli’s moment onward and situates Usigli’s literary existentialism within those drives. In so doing, the essay articulates the deeply-rooted ethical bent of a Mexican existentialism forged in the orbit of identity discourse. It argues that Usigli’s morally equivocal drama makes unexpected common cause with that bent: dynamically conjugating stagecraft, Mexican philosophy, and post-revolutionary politics, El gesticulador advances a pragmatic authenticity based on altruism, communitarianism, and principles over Truth.

Abstract:
The questions over the endeavors of the humanities and social sciences have the merit of being renewed with each generation and context. Philosophy is no exception and one question emerges: why is philosophy useful for research? In this article we contribute an answer to such a question, considering the study of philosophy in Mexican education to exemplify our reflection, which was motivated by the issue that philosophy is being overlooked and even excluded from education and research training in Latin American countries. Hence, we also discuss the importance of philosophy as a research tool that should be more prominent in undergraduate and graduate programs.

Abstract:
SummaryThe Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), or “Wobblies”, represented a transitional stage in Mexican labor movement history. The Wobblies enjoyed support from workers because their philosophy corresponded to the Mexican labor movement's deeply-rooted anarchosyndicalist traditions. While cooperating with Mexican radical labor organizations, the IWW advocated workers' control, better pay, conditions, and union recognition. In mining and petroleum, the IWW built upon the earlier organizational efforts of mutual and gremial organizations. And, although the Wobblies failed to establish a permanent foothold inside Mexico, their efforts resulted in the eventual organization of industry-wide unions.

Abstract:
Environmental issues are often complex with many different constituents operating according to a broad range of communication techniques. In order to foster negotiations, different perspectives need to be articulated in lucid ways sensitive to various viewpoints and circumstances. In my thesis I investigate how certain approaches to environmental discourse effect dialogue and negotiation. My first two chapters focus on environmental problems surrounding rangeland ecology along the U.S./Mexico border; whereas the last two chapters explore more theoretical conflicts concerning the philosophy of nature. Throughout the thesis I show the significance of nonhumans (prairie dogs, cattle, biological assessment sheets, environmental laws, etc.) in the human community. Only by considering the roles of nonhumans do we broaden and enrich the conversation between ourselves concerning environmental issues.

Ph.D.
This dissertation examines the link between sovereignty, law, community and (il)legal violence in 20th/21st century Mexican narratives associated with drug trafficking themes. The field of biopolitics provides ample pathways to explore the intersection of these concepts as they are portrayed in contemporary Mexican literature, music and film. Combining the theories of Michel Foucault, Roberto Esposito, Giorgio Agamben and Carl Schmitt, among others, this project analyzes the law and the sovereign, as well as the community and the narco within the spaces they inhabit as they enter in (violent) dialogue with each other. Furthermore, such relationship is viewed panoramically in three stages. First, I analyze the rise of a mythologized narco-sovereign and the creation of what could be conceptualized as Narcobiopolitcs, which materializes the moment the drug trafficker emerges into the Mexican collective imaginary and fights for a space for its own “community.” Second, narco-communities are allowed to thrive in the outskirts, cementing the figure of the narco-sovereign, a figure that challenges the power of the law. Lastly, the relationship between the law and the trafficker disintegrates due to an excess of violence and the communities they inhabit collapse, thus pointing to the fall of the (narco) community. The authors examined to explore these three phases are: Pablo Serrano, Yuri Herrera, Juan Pablo Villalobos, Gerardo Cornejo, Raúl Manríquez, Víctor Hugo Rascón Banda and Orfa Alarcón (literature); Gerardo Naranjo (film); Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Jenni Rivera, El Komander, Gerardo Ortiz and Los Tigres del Norte (music). The prologue provides a socio-historical context explaining the rise of drug trafficking violence in 20th century Mexico, as well as the current debate on narconarratives. It argues that such debate has yielded stagnating responses from academics and critics and specifies this project’s need to steer away from it. Chapter one offers the theoretical framework that will be utilized along the subsequent chapters in order to create a new space for dialogue surrounding these narratives. Chapter two analyses the rise of the mythologized figure of the narco-sovereign. The purpose of this entity is to create its own narco-community at the margins of the law, even though such community will always be under the Sovereign’s gaze. Chapter three showcases well-developed narco-communities who have managed to claim, through their narco-sovereigns, a space in their fight against the government institutions. Chapter four pinpoints the moment the relationship between legal and illegal violence collapses. This moment is portrayed in the narratives as the destruction of the community, with both entities (government and drug traffickers) responsible for such catastrophic downfall. Finally, the epilogue will conclude this dissertation by summarizing the main theoretical and analytical discussions, thus offering an opening to academic dialogue about narconarratives without the aim of sealing off the topic. Additionally, the epilogue will disclose research routes to undertake in the near future.

Abstract:
Cette thèse est une comparaison de quelques valeurs fondamentales des sociétés canadienne, américaine et mexicaine. Le concept de valeur, tel que je l'emploie dans ce travail, a son acception sociologique, c'est-à-dire les préférences collectives des groupes sociaux. Les valeurs analysées ici ont été sélectionnées simplement à partir de l'intuition que ces valeurs pouvaient concentrer largement les différences les plus significatives de nos pays. Les analyses montrent deux types de résultats. - en ce qui concerne la plupart des variables, les différences significatives s'expliquent par les caractères nationaux ou par les origines des pays. - en ce qui concerne plusieurs variables, les différences significatives s'expliquent plutôt par des facteurs sociaux, comme l’âge, la scolarité ou le revenu. Les sociétés de nos trois pays se groupent autour de trois axes majeurs : 1. Individu et communauté (valeurs à l'égard de la société). 2. Libéralisme et autoritarisme (valeurs politiques). 3. Attitudes et valeurs à l’égard du travail
This thesis is a cross-national study on core values in the three countries of North America: Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The notion of value, such as it is used here, has its sociological meaning: the collective preferences of the people concerning specific subjects. The values analyzed here have been chosen mainly by the intuitive conviction s that they reflect the most crucial differences among the three countries of this study. The analyses performed show two types of findings: - concerning most of the variables, the significative differences are explained by the national characters or by the origins of the three countries. - concerning some variables, the significative differences are explained by social factors, such as age, education or income. These three societies cluster around three main axes: 1. Individual and community (values concerning the relationship between the individuals and the society). 2. Liberalism and authoritarianism (political values). 3. Attitudes and values regarding the work

Abstract:
"La quête identitaire dans l'oeuvre narrative de l'écrivain mexicain José Agustin (1964-1996) analyse l'oeuvre narrative de José Agustin (1944) à partir d'une perspective individuelle, hors des sentiers battus de la "Onda". Il s'agit d'une étude des modalités narratives et stylistiques de la quête identitaire dans la production narrative de cet auteur mexicain contemporain. L'approche thématique de la quête identitaire des personnages est le postulat de départ. Cela dit, ce travail se propose aussi d'interroger la quête identitaire dans ses multiples manifestations à l'intérieur du texte littéraire et de se placer à toutes les échelles où elle s'exprime : l'individu, le groupe, la société. La démarche adoptée est celle d'une perspective textuelle centrée sur les problématiques de l'énonciation, qui essaie néanmoins de restituer sa place à l'auteur. Par conséquent, ce travail est guidé par trois axes complémentaires : la caractérisation de la voix narrative de José Agustin, l'analyse de son discours en tant que figure publique, et la position de l'auteur à l'intérieur du champ littéraire mexicain. L'analyse des oeuvres narratives est accompagnée de trois entretiens avec José Agustin, réalisés dans les années quatre-vingt-dix et qui figurent dans le deuxième volume d'Annexes.

Full text
Abstract:

Mexico's innovative health reforms have attracted scholarly attention beyond its own borders, making it a valuable case to study how countries set priorities. This dissertation examines the multifaceted topic of priority setting through a multidisciplinary approach: each of the three papers of this dissertation employs one of three disciplinary perspectives: historical, quantitative or normative. The dual focus on mental health and HIV--two highly stigmatized diseases with almost opposite histories of prioritization--further underscores the social and historical aspects of health priority setting. Paper 1, "Outrage and Evidence: Julio Frenk and the Politics of Mental Health Advocacy in Mexico, 1968-2006," examines the recent history of mental health advocacy efforts in Mexico. Tracing the career of Julio Frenk, a contemporary global health leader as well as Mexico's Minister of Health from 2000 to 2006, demonstrates that mental health advocacy moved from a focus on human rights abuses to a statistical-based advocacy that emphasized the burden of mental illness. Paper 2, "Beyond Universal Treatment Access: A Multi-level Study of Mental Health Care in Public HIV Clinics in Mexico," represents the first study of the availability and usage of mental health services among HIV+ individuals in Mexican HIV clinics. This paper uses multi-level modeling of a cross-sectional survey from Mexico's National Institute of Public Health to explore factors associated with patients receiving mental health care. The results indicate that clinic-level factors account for much of the observed variation in mental health care for HIV+ individuals. Paper 3, "'What Magic is there in the Pronoun `My'?' The Role of Patient and Disease Advocates in Public Deliberations about Priority Setting for Health Policy," analyzes the risks and benefits of recent, and often controversial, attempts by countries like Mexico to include this specific class of stakeholder in public deliberation for health. Patient participation does bring the risk of bias due to their partiality. However, by drawing on deliberative democratic theory, this paper argues that such partiality confers epistemic advantages to deliberation, such that, if certain procedural and substantive constraints are met, the benefit of their participation may offset the risks.

Abstract:

Trends throughout my graduate research in education include educational transformation, critical pedagogy and cross-cultural, globally oriented competencies for educators. These threads have woven their way into my lens on the world, prompting questions about educational and curricular policy and reform, particularly challenging the ubiquitous Euro-centric platform from which most schools in the United States operate. In June and July of 2012, sponsored by the United States-Colombian Fulbright commission, 16 educators had the professional development opportunity to study in Mexico and Colombia, all with the charge to develop authentic multicultural curricula for the benefit of students and teachers in the United States. Through documentation of the Fulbright-Hays 2012 participants' reflections, the study addresses the scope of the Seminar's transformative impact on teachers and subsequently students, supporting its relevancy as a government social-service program. The study examines the larger impact of the Fulbright-Hays Seminar on educators' pedagogical and philosophic orientations to their work in the classroom. This research may be utilized internally by the Fulbright-Hays commission for evidence of transformational experiences starting with seminar participants and, ideally, filtering down to students of diverse demographics. The development of culturally representative and responsive curricula is a pressing area of need in the United States, both in public and private spheres. Work in this field could contribute to social change and equity-driven reform within the educational sphere: pedagogically, methodologically, and philosophically. The study analyzes the development of teachers with increased cultural competencies, understanding of cultures outside their own culture (and yet often represented in their classrooms), therefore being poised to create more inclusive, anti-biased atmospheres for their students.

Abstract:
La construction des personnages et de représentations du pouvoir, ainsi que la mise en place d’une écriture métafictionnelle dans sept romans mexicains publiés dans les années 90 sont les thèmes centraux de cette étude. Pour notre analyse de El disparo de argón, Huatulqueños, La lotería de San Jorge, Una de dos, Salón de belleza, Un asesino solitario et En busca de Klingsor, nous nous sommes inspiré des théories de Roland Barthes et de Philippe Hamon concernant l’étude sémiologique des personnages, ainsi que des modes de représentation narrative décrits par Gérard Genette. Nous sommes également parti des idées ce même auteur sur l’écriture métafictionnelle, ainsi que des travaux de Linda Hutcheon et de Patricia Waugh sur la question. Notre analyse montre que narrateurs, personnages et décors sont construits à l’aide de figures telles que l’hyperbole ou la comparaison. Le paysage peut agir comme un personnage de plus, et engendrer des espaces métaphysiques reflétant l’histoire. Pour ce qui est du rapport au pouvoir, l’on distinguera deux types de personnages : des êtres vulnérables, d’une part, possédant le pouvoir de manière éphémère ; et des puissances invisibles et inhumaines, de l’autre, surveillant et régissant les destinées des personnages. Tandis que les premiers partagent des caractéristiques physiques et des comportements plus ou moins similaires, les puissances invisibles correspondent à des figures telles que le Destin, le Hasard, Dieu ou encore le Diable. Les représentations du pouvoir remplissent toutes une même série de fonctions. Chacun des sept romans envisagés par cette étude déploie des moyens visant à souligner la nature réflexive de l’écriture chez le narrateur. L’analyse des mises en abyme, des métalepses et de la transtextualité au sein du récit permet de mettre au jour et d’évaluer de manière systématique la présence effective de la métafiction
This essay presents an analysis of the construction of characters, the representations of power and the development of metafictional writing through a discussion of seven Mexican novels published in the nineties. The essay utilizes the theoretical advances of Roland Barthes and Philippe Hamon in regards to semiological analysis of characters and Gérard Genette’s modes of narrative representation to analyze El disparo de argón, Huatulqueños, La lotería de San Jorge, Una de dos, Salón de belleza, Un asesino solitario y En busca de Klingsor. Metafictional writing was looked at using the theoretical lens of not only Genette, but also Linda Hutcheon and Patricia Waugh. In conclusion, narrators, characters and setting are constructed by means of techniques like hyperbole or comparison. In addition, landscape comes to function as another character in the story, creating a metaphysical space that reflects history. When speaking of power, there are two identifiable types of characters: vulnerable creatures with an ephemeral authority and invisible, inhumane powers that patrol and decide characters’ destinies. The first group eventually acquires the same physical characteristics and attitudes, while the invisible powers correspond to figures like Fate, Chance, God or the Devil. The representations of power fulfill a series of similar roles. Each of the seven novels studied in this essay uses techniques which emphasize the narrator’s own awareness of the act of writing. The analysis of the mise en abyme, metalepsis and transtextuality in the narrative allows for a systematic determination and evaluation of the effectiveness of metafiction

Abstract:
A new delivery scheme based on an Extendable Draft Platform (EDP), designed for large fields in ultra-deepwater, offers potential benefits that minimize start-up costs and enhance overall economics. This paper describes an EDP design intended for deployment in water depth of 8,500 ft in a Gulf of Mexico environment. This deck design is one of the largest to date, using the EDP delivery method. The paper discusses design philosophy in detail, explaining the unique design features of the topsides for dockside commissioning, the deck connection system, and the riser systems and their integration. The topsides has process capacity of 200,000 bopd and about 475 mmcfd of gas. The deck also supports a drill rig with a hook capacity of 1,500 kips. The 40,000-ton topsides are 316 ft by 316 ft, supported by four 76-ft diameter columns. In addition to supporting the equipment, the topsides design supports 12,500 tons of riser tension. The complete process and drilling systems are assembled and commissioned dockside in less than 40 ft water depth. The entire system is floated on the deck barge, with the columns lowered through the deck and locked into position on site. Then the columns are de-ballasted, and the platform is raised to the operating draft. The top tensioned risers (TTRs) are supported by hydraulic tensioners. The mooring system, a major component of the lowering mechanism that deploys the EDP, comprises 12 lines composed of chain and polyester rope. These lines are pre-set and connected to the hull prior to raising the deck.

Abstract:
Technip began qualification of reeled Steel Catenary Risers (SCR) back in 1997. Industry had raised concerns at that time over the plastic straining cycles that are intrinsic to the reel lay method and the impact these could have upon the service fatigue life of the girth welds. The qualification programme, therefore, included comparison of reeled welds against virgin welds for a suite of fatigue and mechanical testing including full scale fatigue and fatigue crack growth tests. Reeling was shown to have no discernable impact for the fatigue performance level sought when a controlled SCR fabrication process was adhered to. This provided sufficient confidence that the technology was fit for purpose and led to successful fabrication and installation of the first reeled SCR in 2001. Since then more than 25 have been installed in the Gulf of Mexico, with most projects including full scale weld fatigue test qualification following reeling simulations. This paper includes the following: (a) a summary of the philosophy adopted for qualification, fabrication and installation of a reeled SCR, (b) presentation of the reeled SCR track record and evolution of the technology to include mechanized welding processes (c) a look at ongoing developments targeting even higher fatigue performance, and (d) discussion on the development of fracture mechanics techniques that provide further confidence in the concept and can be used to derive appropriate weld acceptance criteria.

Abstract:
Abstract Deepwater development in Gulf of Mexico (GoM) started about two decades ago. It is the time to evaluate the global integrity of the offshore production unit and riser system and explore the possibility of life extension. This paper investigates life extension of deepwater risers used for a spar application in GoM. A spar in GoM has been put into service for the past 17 years since it was installed in 2000. It was expected to extend the riser design life of 20 years by 10 more years. This paper first introduces the configuration of Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs) and Top Tensioned Risers (TTRs) used for the Spar platform. It then discusses the philosophy for life extension of deepwater risers by assessing the integrity of the riser system. Latest technology and monitored data are used for the assessment. The TTRs and SCRs are modelled using latest analysis programs that were not readily available when the risers were designed. The interaction between the TTR and buoyancy can tensioning system is modelled as a pipe-in-pipe system that considers the function of centralizers with a gap size. The contact interaction between buoyancy can / stem and supporting guides of the hull platform is modelled as non-linear spring elements. The spring elements connect normally to the hull centerline and allow vertical sliding movement of the buoyancy can tension / stem system with friction. The base line inspections of the vessel, SCRs, and TTRs was carried out in the same inspection campaign with the spar hull structure. As-built information, production and operational data was also used for a continuous service assessment. Environmental condition data to the state of the art, including measured spar VIM data, was used in the assessment of VIM fatigue damage to the risers. The investigation was based on the up-to-date analytical tools including latest FEA program ABAQUS and VIV prediction Shear7. It further computes the riser global performance including dynamic strength and fatigue damage with the contributions from wave fatigue, VIV and VIM. This paper finally draws a conclusion for the life extension of the risers for the application in GoM.

Abstract:
Structural reliability analysis (SRA) has been used to calculate the probability of mooring line failure in an intact mooring system as a function of the magnitude of the safety factor applied in design. A range of different units have been considered, comprising ship shaped units and semisubmersibles at different water depths from 100 m to 2200 m. Environmental conditions representative for the Norwegian continental shelf and the Gulf of Mexico are used in the analyses, and the characteristics of the results in the different environments are compared and discussed. Analyses for Brazilian environment are currently ongoing, but not included here. Time domain analysis is applied to obtain the short-term, extreme value distribution of line tension, conditional on stationary metocean conditions. A large number of different conditions are considered. A response surface is used to interpolate on the distribution parameters in order to describe the tension response in varying conditions. Joint probabilistic models of the metocean environment corresponding to the different geographical locations have been applied, taking account of wind, wave and current and their respective heading angles. A continuous model is used for the metocean conditions at the Norwegian continental shelf, whereas a hurricane model is used in the Gulf of Mexico. The effects of uncertainties in the response calculation are included. The mooring line component strength is based on strength data from break load tests. Conventional catenary chain-wire chain systems as well as polyester moorings are considered. With the probability of failure as a function of the safety factor, it is shown that present regulations result in a significant scatter in reliability level between the cases. Safety factors have been calibrated considering all cases. Alternative design formats are proposed and tested including a format with 2 safety factors. Calibration results are provided as a function of the target reliability level. The final recommendation on target reliability level is given in an accompanying paper at OMAE 2017, comprising both the ULS and the ALS. It is demonstrated that alternative design formats can provide a more consistent safety level across the cases. A different design philosophy is needed for the Gulf of Mexico in order to achieve acceptable risk. Options for design are discussed. The present work provides a unique and comprehensive set of results, where advanced reliability methods are used in combination with detailed response calculations in the time domain. The results provide a basis for calibration of mooring design for ULS and subsequently for regulators to update their rules. The work has been carried out as part of the NorMoor Joint Industry Project, with participants from oil companies, engineering companies, rig-owners, manufacturers and marine authorities. This paper is the first one in a series of three at OMAE 2017, where the second deals with structural reliability analysis of the ALS and the third one provides summary and recommendations for safe mooring design in ULS and ALS.

Abstract:
The Kikeh field, owned by Murphy and Petronas Carigali was the first time to use a Spar platform outside of the Gulf of Mexico and also the first time to use a semi-submersible Tender Assist Drilling Unit (TADU) for drilling along a Spar. This paper presents the design and installation aspects of the lashing system of the TADU and the Dry Tree Unit (DTU) Spar for the Kikeh project. The utilization of the TADU in the Kikeh field significantly reduces the weight and cost of the topsides of the Spar and increases the drilling efficiency. In the mean time it has posed a challenging job for the engineers to design the lashing system for the two floaters. This paper will discuss the TADU/DTU concept and benefits along with TADU lashing system design philosophy, design criteria and environment. Different phases of the design process will be discussed in detail, including concept selection, numerical analysis and model test. Several design concepts including the selected design and other alternatives will be explored with pros and cons of each concept explained. Characteristics of the two body motions and lashing tensions will be demonstrated. The selection of the nylon rope and hardware for the lashing system will be discussed. Analysis methodology and modeling of the TADU/DTU lashing system will be discussed. Model test results will be compared with the analytical predictions. Due to the complex nature of the systems and limitation of the analytical tools, model test served as an important tool in the design process. We will show how the results influenced the design of the gangway between the TADU and the DTU. The installation procedures of the TADU mooring and lashing systems will also be presented.

Abstract:
API RP2A, 21st edition recognizes several consequence-based levels of platform design or assessment. L-1 gives critical new platforms a level of reliability almost comparable to continuously manned platforms in the North Sea, and the economic impact of their failure risk essentially vanishes. L-2 is used for manned-evacuated platform, gives a finite but still low level of risk based on economic trade-offs; it has served the Gulf of Mexico industry well for three decades. Re-assessment criteria are lower in terms of metocean loading, and accept more risk, because upgrading platforms in place is an order of magnitude more expensive than adding a little beef to a new-build. Assessment level A-1 is for well-maintained platforms built to “100-year” metocean criteria of the 1960s, but still serving vital functions, e.g. pipeline hubs, where the business interruption risk they pose to upstream producers can be considerable. A-2 simply provides for personnel safety in case a sudden (but weak) hurricane precludes evacuation; economic consequences are left for the operator to evaluate. Levels L-3 and A-3 are reserved for unmanned structures whose collapse does not even have significant economic consequence. It is presumed that high-reliability SCSSVs will prevent pollution in any case. The existing A-2 level is substantially weaker than L-2. It is suitable for production platforms on stripper-well status under the philosophy of “Produce until it falls down,” which makes more sense than arbitrarily abandoning the production prematurely. However, the risk of an old A-2 platform (or a cluster of them in the same field) failing before another decade is out has been estimated to be as high as 25% to 45%. This puts structural risk right up there with reservoir and price uncertainties, deserving consideration in the venture evaluation stage. Mitigation strategies, e.g. plugging depleted wells while they are still upright, also deserve consideration. This paper will examine these structural risks in light of existing standards, based on earlier criteria studies. The API-2INT series of Interim standards, currently under development based on HEAT (Hurricane Evaluation and Assessment Team) work, will be the subject of future presentations.
