Abstract

The riser assembly (14) is plugged adjacent its bottom (20) end either as it is made up or after full makeup or anywhere in between. A heavy fluid (26) is either added to the riser string as it is made up or delivered into the string after makeup to displace seawater or other fluids that may have been in the riser as it is assembled. The floating rig (10) can be secured over the subsea well head (12) and the riser now full of heavy fluid is less prone to be displaced by wave action and preferably simply dangles straight down so that the connection to the subsea wellhead can be simply accomplished. The effect of wave action is minimized or eliminated when deciding placement of the floating rig with respect to the wellhead. Repositioning of the rig takes less effort and is needed less frequently.
