ARAMID COMPOSITE WELL RISER FOR DEEP WATER OFFSHORE STRUCTURES

摘要

Abstract of the DisclosureLightweight well riser elements for offshoreplatforms are formed of an aramid fiber/resin matrix mater-ial. The well risers are preferably in tubular form andinclude metallic end connectors for interconnecting a plur-ality of tubular members to form a well riser. Alterna-tively, the well riser may be formed in one piece extendingfor the entire length from a subsea template to the welldeck on a floating platform.
