The advances in more accurately predicting riser system behavior and fatigue are presented. The fatigue in the touch-down Zone (TDZ) of a Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) on the seabed is the governing factor in the SCR's durability, and is heavily influenced by the riser-seabed interaction. The advanced riser-seabed interaction modeling helps to measure the physical phenomena on SCR. The key physical influences such as TDZ fatigue can be analyzed and assessed using the latest advanced riser modeling, which enhances the accuracy of prediction.
