    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_riser_tensioner

    The marine riser is connected to the wellhead on the sea bed and therefore the tensioner must manage the differential movements between the riser and the rig.

    The operation is performed through smaller dynamic positioned monohull vessels instead of larger mobile installations like traditional semisubmersible drilling rigs or drillships. The RLWI enable subsea well intervention without having to use a drilling riser package connected to the subsea stack (blowout preventer system).
