Integrity management of Flexible Risers
Description
Lecture evening with the topic: "Integrity and integrity management of Flexible Risers - An Operator's view".
High-pressure flexible pipe first came about during the 1970s and is widely used these days as flexible riser, flowline or jumper. The applications in the North Sea and outside have been many due to advantages such as the natural match with FPSOs, the ease of installation and its corrosion resistance. Shell has supported the development of flexible pipe from the mid-1970s. Notwithstanding in the past decades and applications, flexible pipe has not managed to shake off its checked reputation in terms of reliability. The lecture will describe the most prominent failure modes of this composite construction, complete with examples from the field. The presentation will address the ways these failure modes should be prevented in the future or detected during the design, manufacturing, installation and during its useful service by QA/ QC, monitoring and inspection. Key outstanding development items will be highlighted in conjunction with today's state of the art
