Optimization of complex configuration of catenary risers buoyancy modules

Risers are pipes that conduct oil and gas from the subsea wellhead to the floating production unit. For such structures, the pre-sizing approach is usually based on a trial-and-error methodology, fairly dependent on the designer’s experience. The use of catenary risers in complex configuration bring...
