Consequences of damage
Tensile armours are exposed
Possible wear against RGT inner
surface
Corrosion fatigue in aerated sea
water
Riser calculated fatigue lives in aerated
sea water
Production risers: Five to eight years
Condensate export riser: 2.5 years
Gas export risers: Six months

Riser RGT
Testing carried out for 0.13 to 2.0 MPa contact pressure
Wear rate varies linearly with contact pressure
TP-Flex wears faster than Rilsan (dry and wet)
Both materials wear faster wet than dry
Largest difference between Wet TP-Flex and dry Rilsan

New risers
Contract with Technip:
Delivery 01.09.2008
6 new risers (1 x condensate export, 1 x gas export, 4 x production)
Outer sheath material:
Rilsan for all risers
Rilsan protective sheath in RGT area
Cooling of production risers required for flow temperatures
exceeding 92C
Wear protection collars most likely to be used for new risers
33
Concluding remarks
Wear protection collars installed on all risers
Problems with the locking mechanisms encountered
Design changed
Fast track repair project
All suppliers have met schedule
No HES incidents
Work ongoing to clarify cause of damages
Wear of outer sheath against inner surface of RGTs
RGT geometry?
Riser configurations?
