PIPESTAB JIP (1983-1988)

Executive partners: MARINTEK Sponsors: ExxonMobil, Statoil Objectives: State of the art before PIPESTAB: Dnv 1981 Rules for Submarine Pipeline Systems => High concrete coating costs Outcome: Reduced concrete coating thickness => Cost savings Computer programs PIPE and PONDUS => CARISIMA/Beta DnV RP E305
SUPERB JIP (1992-1996)

Executive partners: MARINTEK, Snamprogetti and DNV Sponsors: ExxonMobil, Conoco, Statoil, EMC, HSE, Agip, Norsk Hydro, NPD, Shell Objectives: Reliability based design of Submarine Pipelines State of the art before SUPERB: DnV 1981 Rules for Submarine Pipeline Systems High steel costs Outcome: Code calibration resulted in increased utilization (0.72 -> 0.80) Reduced wall thickness => Cost savings DnV Offshore Standard F101 (DnV 1996)
DEEPIPE JIP (1996-1999)

Executive partners: MARINTEK, JP Kenny and DNV Sponsors: NFR, Conoco, Statoil, Phillips, Allseas, ETPM McDermott Objectives: Qualify existing Lay vessels for Deep Water Laying allowing overbend strains up to 1% DnV 1996 Maximum strain during installation of 0.5% Outcome: Increased allowable strain (0.5% -> 1.0%) Possibility of using existing lay vessels also in deeper waters DnV Guideline for Deep Water Pipelines
CARISIMA JIP (1999-2002)

Executive partners: MARINTEK, Statoil Sponsors: Norsk Hydro, Statoil, Conoco, BP, Texaco, ExxonMobil, Agip, Petrobras, Halliburton, Technip-Coflexip Objectives: Develop a pipe-soil interaction model suitable for detailed analysis of TDP effects for catenary risers Verify the numerical model by 2D geotechnical small-scale tests (performed at NGI) Validate the model by back-calculation of monitored in-situ full scale test data Outcome: A numerical pipe-soil interaction model applicable for on-bottom pipeline stability and TDP effects for catenary risers More accurate prediction of fatigue life and extreme stresses
INT-STAB JIP (2003-2006)

Executive partners: DNV, MARINTEK and DHI Sponsors: Statoil, Norsk Hydro, Woodside, PRCI Objectives: A Recommended Practice for On-bottom Stability Design (replacing DNV RP E305) Up-to-date know-how with respect to sediment transport A new PONDUS database for clay type soil A completely revised version of the PIPE software for on-bottom stability analysis Outcome: DNV RP F109 (currently on external hearing) New PIPE version v3.02
DEEPLINE SIP (2003-2006)

SIMLA.Installation - Main Objectives

1. Generate, collect and store calculated key installation parameters from a selected set of design analyses (as designed datasets) 2. Generate, collect and store an equivalent set of key installation parameters from available on board control and monitoring systems (as installed datasets) 3. Create an on board decision support system by combining as designed datasets with real-time information 4. Calculate accumulated fatigue damage due to the installation, from the as designed and/or as installed datasets, as a function of pipeline route position 5. Apply as installed information as start-up condition for re-assessment analysis during operation
21
SIMLA.Installation - Potential
On board 3D FEM analysis real-time, to support decisions related to specific events or emerging situations (bad weather + curves) Evaluation of laying stability, both for the current position and as forecast for the next section of the as-designed pipe route Generation of the As-built deliverable in a direct reusable form, also including key parameters from real-time 3D FEM analysis Connect via satellite link from onshore control rooms, and view the whole operation, including 3D FEM results, positions of supporting vessels, ROVs, etc For familiarization/HAZID/HAZOP, produce a complete 3D scenario (including 3D FEM results, laying stability evaluation, etc) of the installation process prior to the actual offshore operation For de-briefing, play back the installation process from the As-built log Based on the As-built log, calculate the accumulated fatigue damage due to installation, store it as a function of pipe route position and apply it as startup condition for fatigue assessment of critical areas during operation Assessment of on-bottom stability during operation Assessment of upheaval buckling and snaking during operation
