Abstract

A well-planned retrieval or removal operation of deep-water subsea foundations, such as mudmats, resting on soft soil requires estimation of the uplift forces required for the execution of the retrieval. In this paper, mathematical functions that are tuned to describe the uplift resistance due to skirt-soil friction and suction are proposed. Furthermore, possible benefit from inclined pull is deduced.
