Client Project Project Description
BP Atlantis MCS Kenny were contracted to provide comprehensive design review of all components on the load patch of the GSF DDII clip connector riser from wellhead connector to the tensioning system.  Part of this details review included the following analysis scopes: operability analysis, soft and hard hang-off analysis, VIV fatigue assessment, wave/vessel motion fatigue analysis, drift-off analysis, dual operation assessment, riser/string contact wear assessment and weak point assessment. MCS Kenny also managed a comprehensive testing program for the riser welds, connector and seals.  This included specifying the test program, selection of testing facilities, supervision of testing and interpretation of results.
BHPBilliton DDI MCS Kenny were contracted to provide comprehensive design review of all components on the load patch of the GSF DDI clip connector riser from wellhead connector to the tensioning system.  Part of this details review included the following analysis scopes: operability analysis, soft and hard hang-off analysis, VIV fatigue assessment, wave/vessel motion fatigue analysis, drift-off analysis, dual operation assessment, riser/string contact wear assessment and weak point assessment.
American Petroleum Institute   MCS Kenny revised API RP16Q for the second edition, updated to include newly developed procedures for deepwater drilling riser design, including Weak-Point Analysis, Drift-off Analysis, Soil-Structure Modeling and Coupled Analysis.
Transocean Nautilus Detailed finite element study to determine the wear rate between the drilling riser and drill string for the Nautilus DP vessel.
