Key words: : stress, temperature effects, heat transfer, heat flux, solar constant, offshore oil and gas facilities, resource reliability.

Offshore oil and gas installations, located on the offshore fields, exposed to intense heat. The result is a change of temperature condition and having variable thermal stresses that cause fatigue damage and reduce resource. The paper proposes a method which allows to simulate the processes of heating and cooling offshore oil and gas installations in various environmental conditions, and proves the necessity of taking into account the thermal effects in the evaluation of their resource.
