The drift-off dynamic model of deepwater drilling platform and riser coupling system was established. An analysis method on drift-off warning limits of deepwater drilling platform and riser coupling system was proposed, and a deepwater drilling platform/riser system was taken for case study. The analysis model of deepwater riser, wellhead and conductor coupling system and the drift-off dynamic model of platform were established respectively. The drift-off dynamic solver of deepwater platform was developed. The coupling dynamic characteristics and coupling effect of the deepwater drilling platform and riser system were analyzed in combination with example, and the analysis method for drift-off warning limits was described. The results show that: the riser load acting on platform plays a driving role in the platform drift-off in the initial drift-off stage, and begins to inhibit the platform drift-off gradually as the drift-off displacement increases; During the platform drift-off, the transient response speed of upper riser parameters is high, while the transient response of lower riser parameters presents an obvious hysteresis effect; As the current speed increases or water depth decreases, the drift-off warning limits of deepwater drilling platform/riser coupling system decrease and the deepwater drilling riser should be disconnected earlier.
