Model Summary

The overall riser system is shown below.

The marine riser stack-up is comprised of the following sections:

•Wellhead connector

•Blow Out Preventor (BOP)

•Lower Marine Riser Package (LMRP)

•Lower flex joint

•Stack of Riser Joints (8) of type 1

•Stack of Riser Joints (6) of type 2

•Stack of Riser Joints (2) of type 3

•Stack of Pup Joints (3)

•Telescopic joint

•Upper flex joint

•Diverter housing

•Tensioning system which is comprised of 8 separate tensioning lines.

A close-up of the first riser joint, just above the LMRP, is shown below. Each riser joint is modelled in detail, including its bare, buoyant and flange sections. To achieve this effect, line section groups are used to model Repeating Sub-Sections. These subsections are then used to automatically assemble the riser joint stack-up with relatively little effort required from the user.
