ABSTRACT:
A riser and tendon management system for offshore hydrocarbon production facilities has a data acquisition system with instrumentation suitable for gathering all necessary information concerning the immediate condition of the facility and a riser and tendon analysis system for comparing actual with ideal conditions for the facility. Information is generated as to what corrective action must be taken. The analysis system stores past corrective actions and results and factors this information into the current suggestion for correction thereby reducing riser and tendon stress while increasing their fatigue life.
