Abstract

A riser assembly and method of providing a riser assembly for transporting production fluids from a location deep under water are disclosed. The riser assembly includes a riser (400) comprising a flexible pipe, the riser having a hang off point which is an end of the riser that in use connects with a floating facility (402), and a touchdown zone (406) which in use is a section of the riser in the region of where the riser meets the seabed (404) or other fixed structure; and at least one buoyancy element (410) arranged at the touchdown zone or within about 50 m of the touchdown zone of the riser to support the riser in a configuration for accommodating kinetic energy propagating along the riser from the hang off point.
