Research on the Development of Titanium Tapered Stress Joint for Deepwater Steel Catenary Risers
Steel Catenary Riser(SCR)is an important riser form for deepwater oil and gas development,in order to provide a variety of offshore platform hanging solutions for SCR,this paper gives an overview of the development and current research status of the titanium alloy stress joints of deepwater steel catenary risers for the application of offshore floating platforms,and discusses the current domestic titanium alloy stress joint design and manufacturing technology research.The paper illustrates the design and manufacture of stress joints,discusses the current research level of titanium alloy stress joints,and points out that the research on the structural design and the study on the manufacturing technology is the research direction for the localization of titanium alloy stress joints for steel catenary risers.
