Event Details

Due to recent challenges in oil exploration, there has been an increase in oil exploration from shallow waters to deep waters. This requires more length of the risers and thus an increase in the weight of the risers on the offshore structure. Risers are conduits which are used to transport fluid from the oil well to the offshore platform of transport vessel. The application of composites in riser design is to harness the properties of composites. This include the reduction in the weight of the s
