...Abstract Abstract Fatigue damage estimation is a key part in a Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) system design. The riser-soil interaction has a significant influence on the fatigue assessment for a SCR system at the Touch-Down Zone (TDZ) because the soil’s vertical stiffness is a critical parameter...

...Abstract Abstract Design of Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs) requires the use of specialized connection hardware to mitigate the high dynamic bending moments at the hang-off location induced by host floater motion. Reliability of this connection hardware is imperative, especially in those...

... types, the steel catenary riser (SCR) is the most installed riser configuration for deepwater oil and gas production worldwide in the last two decades. This is mainly because of their simple configuration and relatively low manufacturing and installation cost. As riser technology advances, SCRs...

... years since it was installed in 2000. It was expected to extend the riser design life of 20 years by 10 more years. This paper first introduces the configuration of Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs) and Top Tensioned Risers (TTRs) used for the Spar platform. It then discusses the philosophy for life...

... is due to the waves and the second band of frequencies is due to VIV. Finally, it is shown how the damage can be obtained directly using the data measured from the SCR, giving some results. VIV Monitoring Systems Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) Proceedings of OMAE 04: 23rd International Conference...
