About the course
This course will give learners an understanding of the key aspects of steel riser and spoolpiece design. Starting with an introduction to the types of riser and spool commonly used, the course will explain the key design considerations for fixed rigid risers, top-tensioned risers and steel catenary risers.
With steel risers being used in both shallow and deep water applications, the method of installation and connection can influence the design. Installation and tie-in methods are also discussed in detail here. The final day of the course will present the time dependent failure mechanisms, such as fatigue and corrosion and how to design to protect against them, before finishing with a summary of the integrity management of steel spools and risers so that the designer can understand how to design with integrity in mind.
