Submarine pipelines are externally concrete coated to ensure vertical and lateral stability on seabed without excessive movement. During operation and especially towards late life and beyond, concrete may be lost which must be compensated in the form of stabilization weights. The weight requirements are typically calculated based on concrete...

Subsea pipelines such as in-field flowlines, trunklines, test lines etc. are an integral part of all offshore field developments. This paper covers innovative solutions for carbon footprint reduction from different phases of subsea pipeline life cycle i.e. design, construction and operation. Low carbon field developments are vital and heart of...

Subsea pipelines originating from offshore fields and approaching land are required to be buried in near shore area to provide protection against environmental loading, marine activity, instability and unfavourable soil conditions. This paper presents an innovative approach to optimize near shore burial requirements of subsea pipelines. This...
