• Pipe stress analysis for the Marine Well Containment System. The MWCS is build for the purpose of rapid response to a possible damaged sub sea well operating in the Gulf of Mexico. The MWCS is specifically designed to capture hydrocarbons from a damaged well without significantly increasing wellhead pressure to avoid further damage to well integrity. The MWCS is designed to capture, store and offload up to 100,000 barrels of fluid per day from a flowing well, and is capable of flaring 200 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day. The MWCS is designed to operate in deep water in a variety of Gulf of Mexico (GOM) metocean conditions, a range of reservoir characteristics, and a variety of well bore failure scenarios. The sub sea system capacity can be expanded using equipment and vessels of opportunity.
