| Description |
The JIP examined the recent problems with riser wear in
deepwater drilling projects. The JIP identified and analyzed factors
effecting riser wear; evaluated several riser wear inspection tools;
evaluated wear resistance of risers; developed improved wear resistant riser
linings, and developed and tested a drilling riser wear computer.
The JIP also attempted to document riser failures but data on
riser failures was very difficult to obtain. However, the JIP did obtain
wear data that showed evidence of keyseating in some subsea BOP stacks. |
