ARAMID COMPOSITE WELL RISER FOR DEEP WATER OFFSHORE STRUCTURES

摘要

Lightweight well riser elements for offshore platforms are formed of an aramid fiber/resin matrix material. The well risers are preferably in tubular form and include metallic end connectors for interconnecting a plurality of tubular members to form a well riser. Alternatively, the well riser may be formed in one piece extending for the entire length from a subsea template to the well deck on a floating platform.
