DOT 2014: MCS Kenny to showcase drilling riser integrity software

Offshore staff

ABERDEEN, UK– MCS Kenny, Wood Group Kenny’s riser engineering business, will feature its enhanced DeepRiser engineering analysis software for deepwater operations at Deep Offshore Technology International Oct. 14-16.

The company recently enhanced the software’s drilling riser tensioning system model and added a detailed modeling capability for the subsea wellhead.

Michael Lane, head of engineering at MCS Kenny’s Software Division, said: “Traditionally drilling riser analysis models did not include the wellhead at all, or else modelled it as a single-bore tubular. But the loading being transmitted to these complex components in deepwater and ultra-deepwater systems means that a much greater level of detail is now required. DeepRiserprovides this with both composite and pipe-in-pipe models of the various wellhead components.”
