RISER TOWER DETAILS
SLOR RISERS
The SLOR consists of a single vertical steel pipe connected to the foundation pile at
the seabed and tensioned using a buoyancy cans at the top. The top of the buoyancy
can is typically located 50-100m below the mean water level. The SLOR is generally
situated 100-500m away from the vessel depending upon water depth and the vessel
excursions.
The offtake assembly is
connected to a flowline via rigid
jumper.
The foundation pile is either suction pile, driven or
drilled and grouted pile. The bottom assembly of the
SLOR is connected to the foundation pile using a high
integrity connector and terminated with an offtake
assembly.
The bottom assembly connection to the foundation
pile is achieved by roto-latch (or any flex element) or
using a tapered stress joint.
