riser design

Riser design refers to creating the vertical or angled tubing that connects subsea equipment—like oil wells—to surface facilities. Its purpose is to safely transport fluids, such as oil and gas, from deep underwater reservoirs to the surface. Engineers consider factors like pressure, temperature, material strength, and flexibility to ensure the riser can withstand harsh marine conditions, prevent leaks, and accommodate movement from waves and currents. Effective riser design is crucial for safe, efficient, and reliable extraction of underwater resources, maintaining environmental safety, and minimizing operational disruptions.
