Life cycle costs are a key consideration in the economics of deepwater exploration and production. Lightweight structures, fabricated using advanced composite materials, have the potential to reduce life cycle costs for deepwater field development by virtue of their corrosion resistance, fatigue tolerance and their lower weight, as compared to steel. An Industry/University team, which includes ABB Vetco Gray, DeepStar, Reading & Bates, Northrop Grumman Marine Systems, Hexcel Carbon Fibers, and Offshore Technology Research Center, is applying advanced composite technology to Marine Drilling Riser Systems. Approximately one-half of the funding for the dollar 4.8 M, three-year project comes from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Advanced Technology Program (ATP). The remainder of the funding comes from the team members in the form of cash, in-kind labor and depreciation of facilities used in behalf of the project. The project work scope includes the design, fabrication and test of advanced filament wound composite marine drilling riser pup joints. The project start date was April 1995. This paper describes the progress to date on the design, fabrication and test of prototypes and also discusses the program plan for the remainder of the project.
