API RP 2RIM: Integrity Management of Risers from Floating Production Facilities
CDN $285.00
This publication was last reviewed and confirmed in 2026.
Description
This recommended practice (RP) provides guidance for the integrity management (IM) of risers connected to a permanent floating production system (FPS) used for the drilling, development, production, and storage of hydrocarbons in offshore areas. For the purposes of this recommended practice, a riser has a top boundary that is somewhere at or above the point where it transfers load to the platform structure, and a lower boundary where it transfers load into a foundation, which could be a wellhead, pipeline or subsea structure. The scope of this RP includes: — structural components of the riser; — riser top hang-off assembly (i.e. stress joint, flexible joint, tensioner system/air can, bend stiffener); — appurtenances attached to the riser that are critical to its integrity, including VIV suppression devices and buoyancy modules used to support the riser in any capacity; — corrosion protection systems; — insulation; — other components in the load path or supporting the riser.

Abstract
This recommended practice (RP) provides guidance for the integrity management (IM) of risers connected to a permanent floating production system (FPS) used for the drilling, development, production, and storage of hydrocarbons in offshore areas. For the purposes of this recommended practice, a riser has a top boundary that is somewhere at or above the point where it transfers load to the platform structure, and a lower boundary where it transfers load into a foundation, which could be a wellhead, pipeline or subsea structure. The scope of this RP includes: — structural components of the riser; — riser top hang-off assembly (i.e. stress joint, flexible joint, tensioner system/air can, bend stiffener); — appurtenances attached to the riser that are critical to its integrity, including VIV suppression devices and buoyancy modules used to support the riser in any capacity; — corrosion protection systems; — insulation; — other components in the load path or supporting the riser.
