Durafloat RIS

The demands placed on rigid riser buoyancy performance have increased dramatically as the industry continues its exploration and development of ever deeper waters. Similarly, the requirement for ultra-safe modules has grown in response to the extreme conditions which are now commonplace in today’s operating environments.

Balmoral Offshore Engineering’s design team was tasked with the development of a high performance riser buoyancy system to accommodate and perform in the most arduous of conditions. The team created a specialised riser buoyancy series, Durafloat RIS, comprising a high impact protective skin and residual integrity system. Significantly, Durafloat RIS is designed to minimise the risk of cracking and fracture while delivering high performance uplift.

Buoyancy plays a critical role in the dynamic performance of the riser string and Durafloat RIS is an important step forward for the industry. Its contribution to safety and performance should not be underestimated.
