Offshore Pipelines and Risers in Deepwater
Exploration and production of oil and gas in deepwater increases the demand for offshore research not
only in Canada but also in other parts of the world. In deepwater, large floating platfonns are attached
to the seafloor by steel catenary type risers. The risers are generally highly stressed near the touchdown
point at the seabed. Stonn loading could increase stresses in the riser to unacceptable levels. Moreover,
deepwater offshore pipelines for transporting oil and gas are usually laid on the seabed but penetrate
partially due to their own weight and laying operation. In addition, the potential failure of deepwater
slopes is a major concern for oil gas industries and regulatory agencies. The main objective
of the proposed research is the development of newlimproved design tools for pipelines and risers in
deepwater. The budget will support training of 4 inte~.t (graduate students at Memorial University of
Newfoundland) research.
