The successful candidate will work on the engineering and design of the next generation of offshore floating wind turbines. Principle Power is focused on the commercial-scale deployment of floating wind farms. In the context of our multiple worldwide projects on the next generation of WindFloat® platforms, we want to reinforce our team, based in Emeryville, CA, with a Senior Global Performance Engineer/Naval Architect. With 105 MW of cumulative capacity in operation or under advanced development and a multi-GW commercial pipeline globally, Principle Power is the market leader in floating offshore wind technology. Principle Power acts as a trusted partner to developers, independent power producers, utilities, and EPCs, supporting its customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their projects. The WindFloat®, the company’s globally and proven floating platform technology, enables offshore wind turbines to be sited in any water depth or seabed condition, unlocking offshore wind potential worldwide and allowing projects to harvest the best wind resources. Principle Power is a leading global technology and services provider for the floating offshore wind energy market. Preference to degrees in ocean engineering, naval architecture, and mechanical engineering.

Further, the lower end of the string has a peak of Von Mises stress because the axial tension is reduced in this region what reduces the geometric stiffness and increases the bending stress.Education Required: Bachelor of Science and Masters’ Degree in Engineering, Physics, or related field. In the other hand, the wave has effect only at sea surface resulting in a clear peak. The results show that the current bends the casing resulting in a higher Von Mises stress on the top part.

We calculated the time-domain simulation assuming the surface casing string in hangoff condition. The platform motion timeseries, current, wave data were used as input in the Orcaflex. In this article, we assumed a semi-submersible platform, which the first order motion was calculated using WAMIT. In both cases, the surface casing is exposed to wave and current in addition to the platform motion during its installation inside well.

A Pre-Salt well has a surface casing of about 1000 m long and a Post-Salt well has 400 m long surface casing. In this article, our focus is the dynamic response of the surface casing, which is the casing string installed in the second phase of drilling. A typical development well in Santos Basin is drilled in 4 phases. This makes the Pre-Salt wells deeper than a Post-Sal well located in the Campos Basin. From the seafloor, the wells must cross over 1000m of sedimentary formation and about 2000 m of salt layer to reach the carbonatic reservoir. The wellheads are in more than 2000 m of water depth. The Santos Basin Pre-Salt Cluster has the deepest production well off Brazil.
