Abstract :
The problem of reliability estimation of oil-gas operation structures in frozen seas is considered. Ice load from the drift ice cover is considered to be the main external action. The example of reliability calculation of a structure, subjected to the ice forces in one of the Sakhalin offshore region is considered
