A review of recent use of flexible riser and flowline systems in conjunction with Tension Leg Platforms (TLP) is presented. Basises for the selection of flexible pipes oer rigid pipe option on Conoco, Inc.'s Jolliet project in the Gulf of Mexico and on Saga Petroleum's Snorre project in the North Sea are highlighted. Dynamic analyses and design procedures for flexible risers are reviewed and illustrated by an engineering application. The assumed design case represents an 8-inch export flexible riser system to be installed on a TLP in 3000 ft water depth. The design of the 8-inch flexible pipe was conducted on the basis of multiphase flow transport, 4000 psi design pressure, a 15-year service life and the environmental conditions of the Gulf of Mexico.
