Abstract

In principle, appropriately designed floating support structures need not be more massive nor costly than the jackets or tripods being deployed in German North Sea waters and elsewhere. A number of significant challenges remain, not least the current limited operating experience but also the limited availability of comprehensive design and modelling capabilities, and demonstrated and widely applicable safe and cost-effectively installation methods. This paper assesses the prospects in terms of technology principles, challenges and the potential resource.
