SUMMARY:Marine Riser Analysis for Deep-water Drilling - Dr Andrew Lennon -

DESCRIPTION:The search for energy is pushing oil and gas exploration into 
 deep-water locations requiring the use of floating rigs or drillships. Dri
 lling wells in these locations brings particular engineering challenges. C
 osts are high\, the environment is harsh\, safety is critical\, and there 
 are significant technical challenges. The marine drilling riser is the con
 nection between the floating rig and the sub-sea well. Appropriate analysi
 s can reduce cost and risk. Successful analysis requires an understanding 
 of structural mechanics\, fluid-structure interaction\, computational effi
 ciency\, and sound engineering judgement. This seminar will use a recently
  drilled well as an example to demonstrate how the various strands of succ
 essful analysis come together.
