Drilling Riser Centralizer

Reel Power ME Drilling Riser Centralizer allows the riser to be recovered in currents that would normally make running risers very difficult or impossible. The Centralizer System can be designed and modified to fit your specific drilling rig requirements and dimensions. It is usable on any deepwater drilling vessel but provides the greatest benefit on moored vessels.

The Drilling Riser Centralizer is made up of two large components.

1. Drill Floor Centralizer.
2. Moon Pool Centralizer.

The Drill Floor Centralizer is landed on the rotary table and counters the forces caused when the Moon Pool Centralizer pulls the riser into the proper position for retrieval.

The Moon Pool Centralizer contains a large number of rollers that encircle the riser, position it and hold it in the proper position, to neutralize the effects of the wind, wave and current forces. Then the riser can be handled at the rotary table without damaging either the riser or the rotary table.
