Review of Subsea Pipeline for Minimizing Thermal and Pressure Expansion
Abstract: As the offshore oil and gas fields have been exploited in deeper water, subsea pipelines are required to operate at high temperatures and pressures. It causes subsea pipelines to be more subject to movements both in lateral and axial directions due to the loads produced by high temperatures and pressures. Some high temperature pipelines have experienced the cumulative axial displacement of an overall pipeline length over a number of start-up/shut-in …
