Abstract
Based on a success case of deepwater drilling at Equatorial Guinea in West Africa Gulf, an experimental study has been made, which was focused on the chemical composition and microstructure of the anchor material of the mooring system used in the drilling process. The percentage composition of chemical elements in the anchor material and the material microstructure were obtained. The experimental results showed: to a certain extent, the anchor material met the performance requirements for deepwater drilling at Equatorial Guinea as a result of the reasonable percentage content of each chemical element and the ultrafine structure. Through the experimental analysis, some performance characteristics and microstructure feature that the anchor material should have were further made clear to adapt to the deepwater drilling.
