... Abstract As the development of offshore hydrocarbon reserves extends into greater water depths, the drilling riser requirements and limits have become more onerous due to harsh environmental conditions and uncertainties involved in response prediction. The dynamic response of the vessel...

... DTM accuracy depends on a number of factors, the most important of which are seismic data quality, accurate picking of the seabed horizon and accurate time-to-depth conversion. Seismic data quality depends on the water depth, on the seismic acquisition parameters, on acquisition quality...

... during this design phase, we can consider the one to relocate the FPU in a shallower water depth (100mt WD on the continental shelf) with respect to the preliminary design (about 320mt WD along the escarpment). Such decision, if not taken on time, would have created major reworks during the execution...
