Project Number | 305 |
Date of Summary | May 01, 2000 |
Subject | Highly Compliant Rigid-Pipe Riser Analysis |
Performing Activity | PMB Engineering |
Principal Investigator | Robert Grant |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Completion | December 1999, Phase 1 |
Description | This JIP conducted large scale model tests on different configurations of HCR risers. While there were already several riser analysis software programs available to industry that address the computational requirements needed for HCR analysis, there was little model or full scale test data that validates these programs. |
Progress | Large scale model tests of HCR risers were conducted at a Naval test facility at Lake Pend Oreille in northern Idaho (August 1998). Since that time, work has been ongoing to validate riser analysis software programs. The project's final meeting is scheduled for April 29- 30, 1999. Phase II analysis was completed by December 1999. |
