1. Introduction & Overview – Historical Perspective
Pipelines are generally the most economical way to transport large
quantities of oil, refined oil products or natural gas with competitive
advantages such as safer mode of transportation & higher reliability.
The first onshore pipeline was built in the United States in 1859 to
transport crude oil from an oil field in Pennsylvania to a railroad station.
(2 inch in size, 9.7 km in length)
The first offshore pipeline (PLUTO) was built in Europe in 1944 between
England and France as alternative to oil tankers. (Prototype tested on 1942)
(3 inch in size, 130 km in length)

collecting of wind, waves, current, tide and other oceanographic &
meteorological parameters in order to characterize the engineering
parameters required for pipeline design.

period in eight directions.
Current speed profile with 1,10,100 years return period in eight
directions.

5. Route Selection Study
Minimize the pipeline distance from initiation to termination; economically
the shortest route possible is the most advantageous.
Avoid wherever possible restricted offshore areas such as anchorages,
shipping lanes, military reservations, etc.
Follow a smooth seabed profile; avoiding, wherever possible, coral growths,
rock outcrops, soft or liquefiable soils, unstable seabed area (sand ripples)
and other seabed obstacles.
Avoid pipeline/cable crossings. Where this is not possible, crossings should
be as perpendicular as commercially possible.

6. Flow Assurance Study
Flow assurance is required to determine the optimum size (ID) based on
required flow rate and pressure & considering erosion velocity limitation.
The pressure drop will drastically increase with decreasing the pipe size.
If the pipeline is to transport a sour fluid containing H2S, CO2, etc.,
corrosion inhibitors should be applied or a special corrosion resistant
alloy (CRA) pipe material should be used and/or a corrosion allowance
can be added to the required pipe wall thickness.
Pigging requirements in order to wax/condensate buildups removal.

Flexible Pipeline :
Flexibility & superior dynamic behavior for risers: A typical 8'' internal
diameter can safely be bent to a radius of 2m or less. (10D)
High Speed laying : Because it comes in a continuous length spooling on a reel,
laying speed commonly averages 500m per hour. (12 km/day)
Modularity : The independent layers of a flexible structure enable it to be
tailored to the precise needs of a specific development.
Water depth up to 3000m, Temperature up to 170oC , Pressure up to 460 bar

Submarine On-bottom stability refers to the resistance of a submarine
pipeline to movement on the seabed under extreme environmental
conditions.
The effective way to stabilize the submarine pipeline on the seabed is to
apply the weight coating mostly from high density concrete
produced from iron ore.

15. Shore Approach Design
The effects of wave and current forces in shallow water is more
dominate than in deep water.
In shore approach area, it is recommended that pipeline to be buried
same as onshore pipeline.
For example, according to MMS regulations applicable on USA
coastal areas (water depth less than 60m):
If OD<8 inch pipeline to be buried to a depth of minimum 1m cover
If the pipeline leakage may have serious hazard to others, all
pipelines (regardless of pipe size) must be buried.
Pipeline stress analysis to be done to calculate the allowable vertical
curvature of pipeline in shore approach area.
R=1000.D is equal to about 0.05% strain or 1000 kg/cm2 stress in pipeline.

Based on DNV-OSS-301 ( Certification and Verification of Pipelines):
Verification is used where DNV’s scope applies to the verification of only a single (or
more) phase of the project, for example, verification of the design but not of
construction, installation or testing. Verification results in the issue of a DNV
statement of compliance.
Certification is used only where DNV’s scope covers the integrity of the entire
pipeline system and results in the issue of a DNV pipeline certificate.
