INTRODUCTION:
The deep-water drilling riser is one of the main elements in offshore engineering. An offshore well and a drilling unit are connected by a deep-water drilling riser. Engineers who are experts in this industry perform this difficult process. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the system’s current condition, its architecture, and the potential threats it poses is necessary.
