EVALUATION OF GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM DATA FOR OFFSHORE PLATFORM DEFORMATION

Reservoir compaction and shallow gas migration phenomena may cause offshore platform to experience deformation which if happens excessively will affect their structural integrity. Hence it is crucial to monitor and quantify the magnitude of the deformation especially if they are not uniform througho...
