The Impact

Abstract A riser is a key component for transporting produced oil and gas from the subsea wells to the surface production vessel. Through nearly 30 years of design and implementation, Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs) have been found to have the advantages of relatively low cost and good adaptability to floating platform’s motion. This paper investigates deepwater SCR system design for the Lingshui 17-2 (termed LS17-2) project. This paper first introduces a SCR system for the LS17-2 project. The field for this project is located in the northern South China Sea, with water depth of 1220m to 1560m. LS17-2 consists of a subsea production system, a deep-draft semi-submersible (SEMI), and an export riser/pipeline. The platform was designed to have a large storage capacity with a variable draft during its operation. Based on deepwater SCR engineering experience, the key SCR design challenges are summarized from the engineering executive perspective. The challenges to the SCR system design for the LS17-2 project include harsh environment condition in South China Sea and the impact on fatigue design for the requirement of 30-years’ service life. They call for design optimization and innovative ideas. The engineering design and analysis are discussed together solutions. To demonstrate the deepwater SCR system design for LS17-2 project, examples are provided to illustrate the challenges and solutions. The experience learned from this paper should have significant relevance to future SCR design.

Abstract The northern region of South China Sea is the important strategic region for the offshore oil and gas resources development in China. The main shallow sediment of the region is the cohesive soil with diverse engineering characteristics difficult to be determined. The paper collects the comprehensive geotechnical data obtained from the laboratory test and the in-situ Cone Penetration Test (CPT) for the offshore oil and gas projects in the northern region of South China Sea, and presents the fundamental engineering characteristics of the cohesive soil. Results indicate that the cohesive soil with the low plasticity index and the low clay particle content in shallow water is obviously different from that in deep water in the northern region of South China Sea. The physical properties of the clay soil with the high plasticity index and high clay particle content in the northern deep water region of South China Sea are similar to those found in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa. Moreover, there are two different deposit modes for the sediment in the northern region of South China Sea, which are the fine-grained and coarse-grained govern deposit modes in deep and shallow water respectively. It is found that the sleeve friction ratio of the cohesive sediment is very low in shallow water. The normalized values of the clay soil in deep water are consistent with those from the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa.

Theory Of Law

<p align="justify">Disputes in the South China Sea (SCS) occur due to the seizure of mari- time regions of Spratly and Paracel islands, the regions which are rich in natural resources of oil and gas. Indonesia is not a claimant state to the features in SCS, but Indonesia has a vital national interest to the jurisdiction of waters of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and the continental shelf which overlaps with claims 9 dashed lines of PRC. In analyzing and resolving these disputes, the writer uses theory of law- based state as a grand theory, the theory of international law as a middle range theory, and theory of conflict resolution as an applied theory. The method is a normative legal research. The legal materials are collected based on the identifted list of problems/issues and are assessed according to the classiftcation of the problems. The legal materials are deductively managed to draw conclusions from the problems encountered, and are further analyzed to solve these problems. Conflict resolution to maritime territorial dispute can be achieved by legal means. The dispute settlement by legal means can be done through bilateral, multilateral, arbitration, to the International Court of Justice, while the dispute resolution through CBMs can be achieved through dialogue in international fora by applying the formula 6 + 4 + 2 or 6 + 4 + 1 + 1, and by conducting survey and research cooperation in the fteld of maritime.</p>
