The growing demand for oil, observed in recent decades has motivated the oil industry to exploit new oil reserves in ever-deeper waters, representing a greater operational challenge, security and economic. In this new scenario, the environmental conditions become more severe, causing the floating units movements with increasing amplitude. Consequently, the risers, which are the main components responsible for the transport of oil from the reservoir to the floating units, shall be requested more intensely. The oil industry confronts a major challenge in order to develop riser configurations that can reduce the dynamic effects that are imposed on it and hence to enable its use in deep and ultra-deep waters. Lazy-S, Pliant-Wave, among others riser configurations, have been proposed, however, besides complex, require a lot of logistics and have high costs for their deployment. This thesis proposes an alternative solution that consists of the study of optimum catenary risers configurations using hydrodynamic dampers. The dimensions and placement of these dampers are obtained by means of multi-objective optimization techniques seeking to minimize the effects caused by compression waves over the risers and the costs involved in using these dampers, fullfilling certain geometric constraints. The optimization process is performed by the genetic algorithm NSGA-II, available at modeFRONTIER program. The dynamic equilibrium of risers, evaluated at each step of the optimization is obtained through Anflex program. Representative examples are used to demonstrate the efficiency and feasibility of using the proposed methodology.
