Deepwater Installation of Subsea Hardware (DISH) JIP Website

Welcome to the Deepwater Installation of Subsea Hardware (DISH) JIP website.

The goal of the DISH JIP is to study the technical problems associated with installing subsea hardware in very deep water (>2000m) and to contribute to the development of solutions to these problems. 28 companies have been involved in Phases 1 and 2 of DISH, including 9 oil and gas operators, 6 major contractors and 13 specialist supply companies.

Phase 1 of DISH ran during 2001 and defined the industry's subsea installation requirements and capability gaps.

DISH Phase 2 ran from early 2002 to mid 2004 and addressed some of the challenges identified in Phase 1. These included fibre rope performance, a concept design study of a fibre rope deployment system, a load definition study on a fibre rope deployment system and the definition of hydrodynamic coefficients for realistic pieces of subsea hardware.

We are now proud to announce that DISH Phase 3 launched in December 2004. A copy of the DISH Phase 3 proposal can be found below.

A paper describing the DISH project was presented at OTC 2002 in Houston.

A paper on the work performed in DISH Phase 2 was presented at DOT 2004 in New Orleans.

DISH is a Joint Industry Project launched by BMT Fluid Mechanics Limited with the assistance of OTM Consulting.
