Full Description

This recommended practice provides guidelines for global riser analysis (GRA) of subsea well workover/intervention systems and is intended to serve as a common reference for designers. This recommended practice is not intended to replace existing API recommended practices (RP) and standards, but rather to supplement them by illustrating accepted analysis practices and principles.

The end users may elect to adopt a portion of or all the presented guidelines for global riser analysis, subject to their well-specific riser designs and any operational-related design constraints.
