Offshore Pipelines covers the full scope of pipeline development from
pipeline designing, installing, and testing to operating. It gathers
the authors' experiences gained through years of designing,
installing, testing, and operating submarine pipelines. The aim is to
provide engineers and management personnel a guideline to achieve
cost-effective management in their offshore and deepwater pipeline
development and operations.
The book is organized into three parts. Part I presents design
practices used in developing submarine oil and gas pipelines and
risers. Contents of this part include selection of pipe size, coating,
and insulation. Part II provides guidelines for pipeline
installations. It focuses on controlling bending stresses and pipe
stability during laying pipelines. Part III deals with problems that
occur during pipeline operations. Topics covered include pipeline
testing and commissioning, flow assurance engineering, and pigging
operations.
This book is written primarily for new and experienced engineers and
management personnel who work on oil and gas pipelines in offshore and
deepwater. It can also be used as a reference for college students of
undergraduate and graduate levels in Ocean Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering.
* Pipeline design engineers will learn how to design low-cost
pipelines allowing long-term operability and safety.
* Pipeline operation engineers and management personnel will learn how
to operate their pipeline systems in a cost effective manner.
* Deepwater pipelining is a new technology developed in the past ten
years and growing quickly.
