Abstract: The invention involves utilizing variable reluctance measurement technology (“VRMT”) sensors to monitor forces and stresses on drilling risers and riser towers. The tension monitoring system described herein includes an optimized configuration of variable reluctance measurement technology sensors, wherein the sensors have increased wire turns around each end of their C-cores or alternatively are mounted on mechanical amplifiers or both. An array of optimized variable reluctance measurement technology sensors can be configured at multiple points on a riser system. The VRMT sensors may be integrally attached to the risers or flexible joints for the risers, or may be installed on existing riser or flexible joint systems.

Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to receive broadcast reports from a network, where each broadcast report includes an account identifier, a group identifier, a data stream identifier and a value. Each broadcast report is stored in a database as raw data. A request for information in the database is received. In response to the request, the raw data is altered in accordance with a pre-defined data transformation to produce transformed data. A first visualization of the transformed data associated with a first data stream identifier of a first group identifier is rendered. A second visualization of the transformed data associated with a second data stream identifier of the first group identifier is rendered. The first visualization is supplied in conjunction with the second visualization in response to the request.

Abstract: The invention relates to floating platform mooring and involves an improved platform mounted tendon tension monitoring system with porch mounted variable reluctance measurement technology sensors configured.

The porch mounted tendon tension monitoring system can also be configured such that the porch-mounted optimized variable reluctance measurement technology sensors are replaceable. Sensors may be replaced to extend the desired useful lifetime of a tendon tension monitoring system or in the event that a sensor happens to malfunction. A plurality of variable reluctance measurement technology sensors can be configured in sensor packs at the corners or at other locations where tendon tension monitoring can be useful for a floating platform.
