The design of the ice-resistant platforms for exploration drilling on soft grounds in shallow waters of the arctic seas
Abstract: The paper deals with the engineering solutions for exploration drilling platforms for year-round performance on the soft grounds of the shallow waters of the Russian Arctic. The objective of the investigations is to develop engineering solutions for the mobile ice-resistant exploration platform to carry out year-round prospecting works in shallow waters (8–20 m) of the Arctic offshore. The paper presents general concepts of the exploration platform in a shallow water zone.
Key words: offshore, arctic seas, water area, ice conditions, shallow water, soft ground, exploration drilling, ice-resistant platform, design concept.
