Description
The “Engineering of Subsea Pipelines from Conception to Detailed Design Level 1 to Level 3” course is a comprehensive program that covers the entire process of designing subsea pipelines, starting from the initial conceptualization stage and progressing to the detailed design phase. It is designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the engineering principles, industry standards, and best practices involved in subsea pipeline design.
The course is typically divided into three levels, each focusing on specific aspects of the pipeline engineering process:
At this level, participants will be introduced to the fundamental concepts and considerations involved in the conception and planning of subsea pipelines. Topics covered may include offshore field development, route selection, geotechnical investigations, environmental assessments, and regulatory requirements. Participants will gain insights into the project management aspects and learn how to conduct feasibility studies and preliminary engineering assessments.
In Level 2, the course delves into the detailed engineering and design phase of subsea pipelines. Participants will learn about pipeline materials selection, corrosion protection methods, pipeline routing, stability analysis, stress analysis, and structural design considerations. They will also gain knowledge about pipeline installation techniques, including trenching, plowing, and laying methods. Subsea equipment and components such as risers, manifolds, and subsea connectors may also be covered.
The final level focuses on advanced topics related to the design and integrity management of subsea pipelines. Participants will learn about advanced pipeline design techniques, such as fatigue analysis, fracture mechanics, and dynamic response analysis. The course may also cover pipeline integrity management, including inspection and maintenance strategies, risk assessment, and anomaly detection. Topics related to pipeline decommissioning and abandonment may also be discussed.
Engineering of Subsea Pipelines from Conception to Detailed Design Level 1 to Level 3 covers Different Phases in a Submarine Pipeline Project, DNV Standard (Limit State Design Methodology), Route Selection Study Flow Assurance Study Material & Grade Selection , Pipe Manufacturing, Pipe Anti-corrosion Coating & CP Design, Wall Thickness Calculation, Local Buckling Criteria – Combined Loading, Fracture Criteria, On-bottom Stability of Pipeline, Pipeline Installation Studies, Shore Approach Design, Free Span Analysis, Riser Design – Rigid Pipeline, Practical Hands On Workshop Design of Two Subsea Production Pipelines and more

This workshop describes the review of the preliminary design of the production pipelines for two new subsea developments, A field and B field, that tie back to the Bridge Linked Platform (BLP). The A field is a gas condensate development that comprises a drill centre with three production wells with gas lift approximately 10km southwest of the BLP. Production is to be transported to the BLP by an 8”/14” insulated pipe-in-pipe system – Pipeline A. The B field is to be developed with separate production and water injection drill centres. Oil with formation gas from the production drill centre approximately 17km south of the BLP is to be transported by a single 10” wet-insulated pipeline – Pipeline B. Both pipelines cross a buried oil export line and Pipeline A also crosses a trunk line on the seabed.
This workshop shall include an assessment of the available geotechnical survey data to characterize the soils along the pipeline route and to ascertain whether there is sufficient information to perform an on-bottom stability analysis.

Open in new tab As both pipelines are to be trenched and buried, the available methods shall be compared and a recommendation made for each route. In addition, the proposed pipeline configurations shall be reviewed against the pressure containment and upheaval buckling requirements of the appropriate DNV codes.
Crossings of the existing pipelines shall be designed and assessed for upheaval buckling. Finally, ancillary equipment required to produce multiple wells through a single pipeline shall be described and safety considerations for all aspects will be highlighted.
The The following investigation and calculations shall be performed as shown below:
