www.eni.it
Project Scope
Scopes of work.
1. Understanding of global riser analysis main steps, with particular focus on loads classification and evaluation.
4. Rewiew of disposable landing string state of art and definition of fundamental guidelines for landing string choice.
Dynamic Positioning
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Higher operational costs, due to fuel consumption, specialized staff and maintenance To honour tight operational limits in shallow waters

Operational Modes
Drilling Riser
System used with floating drilling vessel for guiding the drill string and circulating fluids between the drilling vessel and the subsea BOP.
Completion/Workover Riser
Temporary riser that is designed to be run:
1) inside a drilling riser and through subsea BOP and X-tree for well completion, production tubing installation 2) in open sea for subsea horizontal X-tree installation and workover operations Tubing Hanger Mode
Tree Mode
BOP stack
Bag BOP Shear BOP Ram BOPs
Retainer Valve
Shear Sub
Helical Latch Connector Subsea Test Tree
Lubricator Valve
Surface operated hydraulic valve, situated one or two joints below upper flex joint. It is a fail in position valve.
It is used: 1. As a reference depth point during the introduction of wireline/coiled tubing tools. 2. As a mean of isolating surface equipement from production flow. 3. For string sections pressure testing.

Electro hydraulic
Advantages Operates over greater depths with a faster response Valve postition feedback and monitoring
Disadvantages Higher cost due to more complex umbilicals Subsea electrical components More complex valves in Riser Control Module

SLICK JOINT
SHEAR SUB
11
Shear Sub
Situated between Retainer Valve and SubSea Test Tree (SSTT) 1. Provides hydraulic control pressure lines via external hydraulic conduits.
2. It is sheared by BOP shear ram if necessary.
12
RETAINER VALVE
13
Functions:
1. To isolate and retain the contents of the string from the disconnect point upward in case of disconnection. 2. To decrease the response time of SSTT by removing the need to depressurise the landing string before disconnection (and preventing string recoil during disconnection).
14
SLICK JOINT
15
Functions:
1. Provides primary barrier to contain well pressure via dual indipendent fail safe closed valves, capable of cutting coiled tubing or wireline 2. Permits Ram BOPs closure on slick joint surface, that prevents release of SSTT in the event of an unintentional unlock of the tubing hanger running tool 3. Allows control of Tubing Hanger Running Tool

Maximum Wave Height vs. Offset
Maximum Wave Height
Pressurised (4kpsi) or depressurised landing string bore. Limiting factors: Flex joint angles
Maximum allowable stress of landing string components according to von Mises criterion
Vessel Offset

Initial conditions:
DP or mooring failure, vessel drift-off situation. Emergency disconnect failure. Tension pull is imposed, offset is increased until a component reaches breaking point.
