(e-book version)Need: Once in operation, a pipeline and riser system should continue in service with a minimum of intervention. However, due to unforeseen deterioration in the system and external influences, especially in the riser splash zone, the system may suffer damage. The fast, effective, and economic repair of such damage is essential in ensuring minimum loss of production. The objective of this study was to establish the current state of technology for riser design and capabilities of riser repair systems; to provide the guidance for selection of a repair system with minimum downtime and loss for production in the event of unanticipated damage.
Benefit: This report provides guidelines for riser and splash zone design, provides a detailed overview of existing riser repair techniques and products, and provides guidelines identifying the capabilities and limitations of riser reinstatement systems. The objectives of this study were to establish the current state of technology for riser design and capabilities of riser repair systems; and to provide guidance for selection of a repair system with minimum down time and loss for production in the event of unanticipated damage.
Result: The many years of offshore oil and gas development have established the subsea pipeline as a reliable and cost effective means of transportation for produced hydrocarbons. The requirement for subsea pipeline systems will continue to move into deeper water and more remote locations with the future development of oil and gas exploration. The integrity of subsea pipeline and riser systems, throughout their operating lifetime, is an important area for operators to consider in maximizing reliability and serviceability for economic, contractual and environmental reasons. Adequate design and installation are the basis for ensuring the integrity of any subsea pipeline and riser systems. In the event of system damage, from any source, quick and accurate repair and reinstatement of the pipeline system is essential.
