What do we monitor and why?
Pulse Mission Statement
•
To enable our clients to operate safely and efficiently through monitoring
What and where does Pulse monitor?
Flexible risers
Free‐standing risers
Drilling risers
Steel catenary
risers
Pipelines
Top‐tensioned risers
Mooring lines
Offshore wind farms
Vessels / platformsTidal generators
Examples of client issues
What is the fatigue damage of seabed pipeline
spans due to vibration?
What is the drilling
riser fatigue damage due to vortex‐ induced‐vibration?
Are my FPSO’s
mooring lines all intact?
What is the buoyancy tank behavior during hurricane/ cyclone/ typhoon?
….
Why do we monitor
Despite greater understanding and advanced engineering & analytical tools
Still unknownsInspection can be difficult/expensive
Increased emphasis on Safety Integrity managementRegulatory requirement
Deeper water means greater challengesMonitoring should be part of proactive IMR (Inspection,
Maintenance & Repair) programme

What is DrillASSURE?
Drilling Riser Integrity Management System to aid:Planning drilling operations
Monitoring drilling operations
Monitoring completion/workover/well intervention
Minimise disruptions to drilling operations, maximise operational time, reduce costs & increase safety
Overview of the DRILLASSURE systemFull system integration with
real time software
Alarm Functionality
DrillASSURE reduces complex operating environment to 3 level alarm system
All parameters within normal operating limits
1 parameter outside normal

Pulse works with operators to define operating envelopes
Pulse/2H algorithms based on 15 years of experience with drilling analysis
Why Monitoring for Flexibles?
Flexible risers are a complex construction Multiple failure modes
Limited operating history in comparison with rigid pipeFlexibles are deemed non‐inspectable
Design life 10 times safety factorIf deemed inspectable
reduces to 3 times
Monitoring is a key component of flexible riser integrity management
System Description
Philosophy for FlexASSURE designDesigned & qualified in conjunction with
operator and flexible manufacturer to monitor top section of riser
>90% of incidents occur in top sectionReal need for operator to understand
Large number of flexibles on critical listBreach in outersheath
can lead to corrosion issues
No effective system for monitoring wire breaks at present
Current wire break detection systems are visual inspection methods
Need increasing as water depths are deeperEnd fitting more complexHigher tension
Principle of measurement
Sound emissionTransient axial movement
Transient twistResultant rotation

Compare Measured riser performance against design assumptions
Identify and monitor riser loads during extreme events ‐
Hurricane Ida
Measured riser response correlates with wave activity
Torsional
rotation measured on TDZ confirmed with ROV‐Footage
Track accumulated riser fatigue damage at critical location
Customer Goals for 2010
Calibrate soil stiffness model
Identify trenching and corresponding riser loads for extreme events.
