Abstract

The present invention relates to a system to transport petroleum fluids using a riser, capable of operating with aggressive fluids, in regions of irregular sub-sea terrain, yet using low-complexity and low-cost components and connections. The hybrid reverse transfer system, comprises: a first, top, rigid riser section,a second,bottom, flexible riser section,connected to a bottom end of the rigid riser section, and a series of support buoys connected to the rigid riser section, wherein the lower end of the bottom, flexible,riser section connects to a bottom connector on the seabed.
