- Real-time load monitoring
- Safe working lifetime for equipment
- Simple installation as well as retrofit
- Improve safety, extend equipment life
- Higher levels of hydrocarbon extraction
Interest in monitoring motions and strains on risers has grown exponentially with the migration of exploration and production to deeper waters. Designs have become increasingly more complex to allow operators to drill into these new pockets in reservoirs.
During the equipment design phase, a system’s estimated lifetime is based on an assumed load during its operational lifetime. If the actual system loading exceeds design assumptions, then operational life and system safety can be compromised.
Optima-Wireless: a wireless riser monitoring system for use in deep water environments is offered jointly by MCS Kenny and Fugro, with wireless capability from WFS. Optima-Wireless enables riser response to be monitored in real-time to predict signs of early failure and to improve future design.
