A Composite Production Riser (CPR) is designed to demonstrate its suitability for deep water (3000 to 5000 feet) applications. Functional, operational, and performance requirements are specified by oil companies. Riser responses to platform motions and environmental loads are provided based on global analysis of a tension leg platform (TLP) system. The use of well established advanced composite methodologies resulted in a CPR design with predicted capabilities that exceed the expected loadings. The design of the CPR joint requires three separate efforts: composite tubular design; composite-to-metal interface design; and metal connector design. The performance of the CPR is verified through testing of subscale and full-scale specimens.
