Abstract
Steel catenary risers (SCR) are an enabling technology for deepwater oil and gas production. Over the past 10 years research has been conducted to examine the influence of seabed interaction on the stress and fatigue damage in the SCR near the seabed. This included examination of SCR seabed trenches collected using ROVsandmodel tests to observe and quantify pipe/soil interaction forces and effects. The work presented was conducted as part of the STRIDE and CARISIMA JIPs and a PhD thesis.
About the speaker
Dr Christopher Bridge graduated in 1999 from University of Surrey in the UK with a MEng in Civil Engineering. During the sandwich degree course he worked for six months in Singapore for Y.S. Lau Consulting and then six months in the UK for 2H Offshore Engineering. After completing his degree, Christopher rejoined 2H Offshore where he worked on a number of riser design projects and riser test programs, including the STRIDE and CARISIMA JIP's. While working at 2H Offshore, Christopher completed a part time PhD at the University of Surrey, with a thesis title of"Effects of Seabed Interaction on Steel Catenary Risers". The PhD wassponsored by 2H Offshore. Recently Christopher joined Schlumberger in Singapore where he is working as a subsea engineer.
