... not previously possible, and confronts key technical design challenges such as pipe-in-pipe (PIP) in deepwater and high-temperature situations. This paper is split into three main parts, and covers the use of cutting-edge FEA tools for the design and simulation of pipelines and components. The first part looks...

.... INTRODUCTION Developments of deepwater oil/gas reservoirs are presently being considered around the world as the petroleum reserves being declined in mild water depth. The pressure and temperature of the oil and gas contents coming out of the deeper ground onshore or subsea are normally higher, and this can...
