Abstract
A known deepwater solution for production risers for extracting oil and gas is the SLOR™ riser. The design of the SLOR™ riser is not compatible with large numbers of risers and thus there is a need for a deep water riser that can be deployed in large numbers, for example 20 to 30 risers. The present invention discloses a support frame that can be used to receive a plurality of risers, which can then be connected to a surface vessel.
