            Abstract : 
The paper presents the process of measuring the vibration signals of the WZ12-1 platform and analyzes the reason causing the serious vibrations of the WZ12-1 platform. First, the method for arranging the test points on the WZ12-1 platform is described. Then, the signals are collected under two different conditions. Finally, by examining the captured signals, we ascertain the cause leading to the excessive vibrations of the WZ12-1 platform. The paper provides a guide to measure and analyze the vibration signals of offshore platforms, which is highly significant for assuring the safety of offshore platforms.
