RISER MOORED FLOATING PRODUCTION SYSTEM

摘要

RISER MOORED FLOATING PRODUCTION SYSTEM Apparatus for mooring a ship-shape floating production system uses a tensioned riser, with associated motion compensation and riser pipe handling equipment. The attachment of the riser to the ship, and the motion-compensation and pipe handling system on the deck of the ship allows normal production to proceed, while ship motions are isolated from the riser, preventing excessive load transfer or unacceptable dynamic responses. The riser system is specifically designed for high loading and fatigue endurance and, hence, suitable for mooring as well as production.
