Inspection of non-piggable pipeline for lifetime extension

Case Studies /

The scope Jee’s client was operating a multi-phase oil production pipeline system beyond its original design life and therefore required an in-line inspection (ILI) to be carried out to verify the condition and confirm suitability for continued and safe operation. The pipeline was designed without pigging facilities and had subsequently never been in-line inspected during …

Assessment of pipeline on-bottom stability to DNV-RP-E305 and DNV-RP-F109

Case Studies / ,

The scope A major operator asked us to undertake a stability analysis of a 20″ trunkline to ensure the pipeline was stable. The as-built concrete coating thickness stated in the final survey report differed from the thickness given in the coating specification, therefore a re-assessment of stability was required. The solution The on-bottom stability analysis …

Assessment of pipeline free spans to DNV-RP-F105

Case Studies / ,

The scope An international operator asked us to perform a detailed span assessment for a major pipeline system. The scope included updating existing span anomaly criteria to the latest DNV code, using the most recent environmental data available, and recommending the maximum allowable span lengths. The solution Our team conducted analyses to determine the: Maximum …

Assessment of fatigue of a subsea pipeline including analysis of dents

Case Studies / , , ,

Introduction A client of ours – one of the major operators – had plans to re-develop two of their existing fields in the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS). The objectives of the re-development were to increase production yields and increase the life of the field. Part of the redevelopment would result in increased throughput for …

Riser analysis

Case Studies / ,

The problem During a routine inspection of one of their risers, our client noticed that some of their riser guides were oversized, resulting in clearance between the riser and the inside of the guide. The riser had an outer diameter of 10.75 inches. The internal diameter of the guide was 14 inches. The clearance between …
