This paper presents a spatial model of riser dynamics formulated using the segment method and its applications. The model has been validated by comparison of the authors’ own results with those obtained from experimental measurements and Abaqus on the basis of forced vibration with large amplitude for the riser submerged in water. The influence of the sea environment is considered. Correctness and numerical effectiveness of the model enable us to formulate and solve the force stabilisation problem. A dynamic optimisation problem is formulated and solved. As a result vertical courses of movement of the upper end of the riser are obtained which compensate the horizontal movement of the base and stabilise the force in the connection of the riser with a wellhead.
