Drilling Riser Model Test for Software Verification [PDF]
Marine drilling riser is subject to complicated environmental loads which include top motions due to mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU), wave loads, and current loads. Cyclic dynamic loads will cause severe fatigue accumulation along the drilling riser system, especially at the subsea wellhead (WH).

Dynamic Analysis of a Drillstring-Riser System Drilling in Deep Water [PDF]
A mathematical model of a drillstring-riser system is developed to analyze the system dynamics when drilling in deep water. For the proposed model, a riser and a drillstring are combined as a pipe-in-pipe structure, along which the interactions between ...

Mathematical Modelling and Dynamic Analysis of an Offshore Drilling Riser
In this paper, a dynamic model of an offshore drilling riser is developed based on the Hamilton principle. The developed dynamic model is transformed into a finite element model by introducing an approximate solution which chooses the Hermite cubic ...

Preliminary instability-analysis of deepwater riser with fairings [PDF]
Instability of deepwater riser with fairings is investigated in this study. Despite the advantages over other devices for suppressing vortex-induced-vibration (VIV), fairings may be susceptible to flutter type instability.

Analysis and control of drilling riser dynamics in dual gradient drilling [PDF]
The aim of this thesis is to investigate a dual gradient riser system, adapted for operations in the Gulf of Mexico and subjected to first- and second-order wave forces, current and rig/vessel motion.Deep water drilling in narrow pressure zones pose several challenges for handling well pressure.

A marine drilling riser at normal operation condition is required to disconnect the lower marine riser package (LMRP) and blow-out preventer (BOP) in case of severe weather. When the weather gets fine, it must reconnect the LMRP and the BOP. This process

An impedance approach to reduce the contact-instability whilst drilling with active heave compensation [PDF]
The bit-bounce, or contact-instability, phenomenon which occurs in the drill string suspended from a floating vessel with an active drill string compensator to maintain a steady weight on the drill bit is investigated.
