This report describes the development of a Scope of Work for the screening test program. The Committee will submit the Scope of work to potential testing laboratories as a part of a request for a quotation package. It completely defines the tests…
Evaluated the typical Gulf of Mexico pipelay barges and assess their ability to install 8 to 20-inch diameter pipelines in water depths ranging from 1000 ft to 3000 ft. McDermott's LB-29 and DB-28, Global Pipelines PLUS' Cherokee, and OPI's DLB-423…
The evaluation of the defect tolerance assessment for girth welded joints of seamless pipes for off-shore applications when subjected to large cyclic plastic strains. The reeling laying technique, which is considered to be the most severe from this…
This document aims to provide a thorough and systematic review of the State of Industry regarding ultra-deep water pipeline technology. This includes a review of design codes and standards documentation of manufacturability and constructability…
This study identifies mechanical connectors which could be utilized in the J-Lay method of offshore pipeline construction. The J-Lay method offers advantages over the more conventional S-Lay method in deep water because the method imposes much lower…
