Subsea Pipelines Engineering

Subsea pipelines have made a tremendous impact as a safe and effective transport system for offshore hydrocarbon exploration and production (E&P). There have been examples of subsea pipeline projects where the boundaries of materials requirements, construction and installation techniques, inspection and maintenance programmes have all been established and improved upon over the decades. Similarly, E&P continually breaches deeper and deeper waters; further improvements and innovation have been the keynote in these applications.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Gain comprehensive insight into subsea pipeline routing, permits, and authorisations
• Understand and perform pipeline mechanical design analyses and calculations
• Select appropriate materials for subsea pipelines, considering corrosion protection systems
• Learn pipeline construction and installation methods, tools, and best practices
• Explore line pipe mechanical and corrosion protection systems used in offshore environments
• Apply pre-commissioning and commissioning practices to ensure system readiness
• Develop and implement pipeline integrity management practices to maintain long-term asset health
• Enhance knowledge through practical working examples of pipeline design
• Understand current and emerging best practices for offshore pipeline projects
• Prepare for future challenges such as ageing assets, life extension, and pipeline decommissioning
