Portable Dynamic Riser for Drilling Operations

Establishing a subsea fiber connection from a mobile offshore drilling platform requires a fiber optic riser or umbilical to be installed between the platform and the seabed connection. The need for rigorous design and analysis of a dedicated riser has traditionally made such a connection impractical for a temporary drilling platform connection.

Radius and our technology partner Ocean Specialists, Inc. (OSI) will employ patented portable dymanic riser technology to allow the deployment of a modular, low-cost, reusable riser to allow for temporary connections between a mobile drilling asset and a seafloor fiber connection.
