Abstract
An attempt is made to review and recommend operating procedures for drillstring compensators, to help the driller and the project engineer who have to face deep water and bad weather during their duties. This paper is based on present practice and literature review to describe current operational methods for the landing and tensioning of the large loads and pipes characteristic of the offshore industry. Research is applied to extend these procedures and propose new techniques applicable to the handling of hangers, trees and risers in the harsher environments subject of the Deep Offshore Technology Conference, in order to increase the operational weather window of offshore vessels.
