Need: The major challenges for deepwater riser systems are the higher external pressures, increased weights and tensions, larger dynamic loads and responses, potential for fatigue of the girth welds, severe flow assurance requirements, and the need to provide an economical design and installation.
Result: This report provides PRCI with an updated version of the pipeline riser design and application guide. The focus of this report is on deepwater risers to both fixed and floating platforms, in sizes up to 24-in (610 mm) outside diameter, and in the range of water depths between 1,000 and 10,000 ft (305-3050 m). As with the previous report from 1987; Pipeline Riser System Design and Application Guide by Brown and Root U.S.A, this document is intended to serve as a starting point for the planning and design of deep-water risers, and is intended primarily for use by design engineers.
Benefit: This report describes nine different riser systems, together with various options, and discusses the applications and limitations of each system. Included for each riser are design issues related to installation and operation in the deepwater offshore environment, applicable design analyses and computer software references, and riser system component design. In addition, the guide contains identification of areas of current riser system technology that require further development work to make them more applicable in water depths approaching 10,000 feet (3050 m); references, including published papers and patents, related to this area of deep-water pipeline risers and a set of spreadsheets listing most of the existing and near-future deepwater oil and gas developments, with information about the risers used on each development.
