This paper summarizes tension-leg platform (TLP) rigid riser design considerations and presents results of TLP riser analysis for a production/injection riser in the North Sea. Analysis methods, design criteria, and design optimization are addressed. The riser is designed for 300-m water depth in compliance with Norwegian regulations. Emphasis is placed on application of the regulations and quantitative comparison of alternative methods for analysis of fatigue and extremes.
