| Description |
The objective was to
assess deepwater pipeline technologies for installations in water depths from 3,000 to
6,000 feet. The project will outline:
(1) damage assessment techniques,
(2) repair concepts, and
(3) equipment limitations for ultra-deep pipeline
installations.
In addition, the effects of wave and currents during
installation and operation were reviewed. Techniques for intervention, both subsea and
surface based, for pipelines and flowlines with principal emphasis on remotely operated
vehicles (ROV's) systems were also summarized. |
