Deep Penetrating Anchors - a cost effective anchoring solution for mooring oil and gas facilities in deep water

近海石油和天然气行业目前正在进行大量的研究工作，以开发适用于深水系泊浮动设施的具有成本效益的锚定解决方案。该项目旨在加强对深穿透式锚杆(DPA)的有限了解，该锚杆已被确定为最有潜力满足行业需求，因为它延长了目前2000米的水深限制。该项目的成功完成将产生一个DPA实验数据库，该数据库不仅将成为预测锚性能的基础，而且还将作为一种手段，验证可用于近海工程实践的强大和通用的设计工具。

The offshore oil and gas industry is currently directing considerable research efforts towards the development of cost-effective anchoring solutions suitable for mooring floating installations in deep water. This project aims to enhance the limited understanding of the Deep Penetrating Anchor (DPA), which has been identified as having the most potential to meet industry demands as it extends the current water depth limit of 2000 metres. Successful completion of this project will result in a DPA experimental database that will not only form the basis for predicting anchor performance, but will also serve as a means of validating robust and versatile design tools that can be used in offshore engineering practice.
