Analysis and control of drilling riser dynamics in dual gradient drilling

The aim of this thesis is to investigate a dual gradient riser system, adapted for operations in the Gulf of Mexico and subjected to first- and second-order wave forces, current and rig/vessel motion.Deep water drilling in narrow pressure zones pose several challenges for handling well pressure.
