Experimental Research for Metocean Data and Risks in the Vicinity of Platforms in the Black Sea

The knowledge of the metocean data is important for the design and construction of different equipment in offshore area. The paper presents an analysis of environmental factors in different conditions in the location of study, GALATA platform, Bulgaria. The results of the analysis (wind statistics, wind distribution rose, wind speed extreme, monthly mean vertical profile of wind speed) cover the period 2008-2023. To analyse correct design of floating wind turbines must establish wind speed extreme. The data sets obtained were validated using the CFS3D wind database. To study the risks in vicinity of platforms we used tools of NEAT+ software which provides the opportunity to make informed decisions and implement appropriate preventive and corrective measures to protect the environment. The results of the experimental research indicate a favourable general state of the environment in the Black Sea vicinity of platforms area.
