INTRODUCTIONConventional fixed platform facilities, even those in the deepest of waters, still rely upon relatively conventional marine conductors with above surface (deck level) wellheads through which to produce the reservoir gases and/or fluids. The conductor and well system is laterally supported by the surrounding structure at the plan bracing levels of the structureThe casing tubular will be predominantly loaded by a combination of self weight, weight of supported tubular and the wellhead loads.Lateral loads, which generate bending stresses in both the conductor and casing strings, are induced by environmental forces, which, for flexible systems, may be amplified by the effects of dynamic response. Due to its vital role, it is mandatory to check the integrity of conductor due to several load case which may occur during its service time.

ENVIRONMENTAL LOAD1. Metocean data is obtained from available metocean data of the nearest location from the conductor. 2. Soil data is determined from the soil investigation on the location adjacent to the conductor.
The distance between the conductor location and the location of available soil investigation data is approximately 12 km.

STRUCTURAL MODELLING
Non-linear finite element models are developed considering a 30 inch conductor
The model extends from an effective fixity point below the seabed. Soil properties are modelled as p-y and t-zcurves based on soil data on the nearest location from conductor.
Allowances for marine growth and corrosion over the field life are also taken intoconsideration and should be appropriately modelled.

BOUNDARY CONDITION
The 30" conductor is grouted to the seabed. However, For conservative reason, we neglect the grout effect.
The top of conductor is assumed to be laterally restraint.

CONDUCTOR STRENGTH AND STABILITY CHECKSStability is checked as the conductor will be under compression. The assessment involves: Combined axial loads due to the surface equipment and internal casingsBending loads induced primarily by the wave and current, misalignments, and also the eccentricity of the internal casings.The strength assessed on allowable stresses and principles from API RP 2A to determine acceptance.The most heavily loaded step in the drilling sequence is identified and used to determine the acceptability of the conductor system for the drilling phase and production phases
