Cost estimation model of structural steel for superstructure of wellhead platform in oil and gas industry

Cost estimation model of structural steel for superstructure of wellhead platform in oil and gas industry

Cost estimation during early stages of construction should be accurate and quick as possible. For accurate and quick cost estimates for steel structure material of offshore structure such as Wellhead Platform with minimum input of data, this study proposed an approximate cost estimation model that i...
