Qualification testing for flexible flow lines and risers

Abstract

The importance of preventing fluid loss and assuring flow is paramount when working in the inherently costly environment associated with offshore production. Flexible flow lines and risers offer an attractive solution that can deliver high reliability while providing potentially significant relief of geometric constraints encountered during installation and operation.
