Abstract

An offshore system with a subsea riser, including a floating platform and a subsea riser made up of sections of pipe. A riser tension system compensates for movement of the platform while providing tension to the riser. At least two of the riser sections are connected with a connector such that a portion of the riser is able to be placed in compression without buckling.
