  • Publication number: 20210072146
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring armor wires in a flexible pipe by inferring a condition of the armor wires using at least one polymeric coupon containing steel wires. The coupon is designed to simulate the conditions of the armor wires in the annulus of the flexible pipe. The coupon is removably held by a coupon holder in the bore of a surface pipe connected to the flexible pipe. The coupon can be removed from the bore of the surface pipe after a period of time to dissect the coupon and evaluate the steel wires. The systems and methods allow insight into the condition of the armor wires during operational life that does not otherwise exist at present.

  • Publication number: 20200399962
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems for securing a bend stiffener to a riser in an offshore energy production facility. In one system, the lower end of the bend stiffener has a magnet that repels a magnet in a clamp on the riser a distance below the bend stiffener. The magnets repel one another with a force during operation to decelerate falling and prevent contact between the clamp and the bend stiffener. Methods are provided for retrofitting a riser system by adding the magnets. In another system, the riser has an upper portion and a tapered portion immediately below the upper portion. The outer diameter of the tapered portion increases such that the tapered portion can be friction fit into the lower end of the bend stiffener in the event that the bend stiffener is forced down or free falls onto the riser.
