Subsequently, coupled dynamic analysis is performed for the production risers using the dynamic analysis software OrcaFlex.Results and discussion evaluate the impact of the dynamic behavior and stress of the production risers as well as the cost.ĪBSTRACT Both offshore wind energy and offshore aquaculture are developing rapidly and moving into deeper waters to acquire better resources.

Hydrodynamic data such as added mass and damping coefficients, forces and motion Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) of the Spar are first obtained using the simulation software MOSES through uncoupled analysis. The production risers are modeled on Spar floater subjected to environmental conditions in the Gulf of Mexico.

The basic cost comparison is carried out briefly to assess their suitability in deep waters.

This paper serves to analyze and compare the dynamic behavior between different kinds of production risers (Steel Catenary Risers, Flexible Dynamic Risers, and Free Standing Hybrid Risers) and their impact on the floating production platform (floater) in an actual field environment. A key factor is a dynamic behavior as it may lead to increased loads on the platform (floater), especially under severe environmental conditions.
