Recent years, approximately 300 oil platforms in Malaysia which their service life is
approaching the end and need to be decommissioned. Insufficient knowledge about
the sustainable decommissioning methods can lead to the environmental impact of
rigs-to-reef (RTR) program. The principal aim of this paper is to study the flow analysis
of offshore structure, a 4-leg offshore jacket platform is modelled as a rigid body and
the dynamic response analysis. This research considers the interaction and the effect
of jacket platform subjected to the different current velocity. Most important
parameter being measured in order to determine whether the deployment of different
current velocity in each case could affect the flow analysis of the jacket platform.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is used to simulate the real scenario to
enable the study to be carried on. The results of this research study can be used for
the design of offshore structure based on the dynamic behavior of the jacket platform.
