2) A riser is a large-diameter pipe which surrounds the drillpipe in 

 exploratory or production drilling. It is a conduit for circulating 

 drilling fluids called "muds" to control overpressures, and is thus an 

 essential part of controlling seepage or blowout. Up to now, scientific 

 drilling has taken place in sites with virtually no possibility of 

 hydrocarbon accumulation, and is done without a riser.
