2.0 INSTALLATION VESSEL

The installation vessel shall be of a typical dynamically positioned offshore construction support vessel
type that will provide a stable platform to perform the subsea pipeline installation. The vessel shall
need to support the proposed installation activities with suitable capabilities including;
 Dynamic positioning operations in accordance to IMCA standards

 Sufficient deck space and loading capability to support the installation equipment and
operation
 Suitable accommodation for marine and operations personnel
 Suitable handling aids to support operations, such as small cranes / hoists
A specific technical specification shall be provided to detail the appropriate vessel / marine
requirements. The following section details the vessel requirements from the pipeline installation
perspective.
2.1 Vessel Layout

In the base case, the deck layout is designed on having only 2 reels available on each load out for
installation. The installation vessel shall be able to accommodate the layout of equipment as shown in
Appendix A, the Deck Layout drawing, Z12/112996-ENG-DWG-00001 and this results in the need for a
vessel with a deck which can offer a minimum unobstructed length of 50m.
The installation contractor shall take into consideration the cost effectiveness of two (2) different
installation vessels.
I. A vessel suitable to accommodate two reels, necessitating frequent port calls for restocking
and;
II. A larger vessel, accommodating more reels, having the advantage of an increased time on site,
installing pipe and the possibility of restocking at sea, using ship to ship transfer of 35 tonne
reel (30 tonnes of pipe + reel weight 5 tonnes).
Other than running the pipe through a set of straightening rollers, to change the pipe profile from
curved to straight, it has been decided that there will be no other plastic deformation of the pipe during
the installation process. This decision establishes a minimum spacing between the aft most reel and
the straightening rollers, which has been calculated to be a minimum distance of 11m. This was
derived from a consideration of the pipe as cantilever, en-castre (built-in) at the straightening rolls and
deflected by the outer wraps on the reel. The pipe material conforms to API 5L grade X65, this
deflection would subject the pipe to a bending stress of 90% of its yield strength.
The coiled pipe installation equipment, including the reel drive system, is arranged so that it sits on its
own rail system and this feature contributes to minimizing the need to add additional structure to the
vessel in order to provide under deck strengthening.

In view of the intermittent nature of the work, the crew will be in port every 2 – 3 days and the potential
for limited POB, it is suggested a multi-disciplined pipelay crew should be utilised and could be as
follows:
Tensioner 3 1 days, 1 nights and a senior who can bridge shifts

PRD 3 1 days, 1 nights and a senior who can bridge shifts
Zap-Lok™ 2 Pipe-lay supervisor oversee Zap-Lok™ operations, as these are so infrequent,
these personnel would not work shifts and when not busy could relieve the
PRD and Tensioner operators
Survey 2 1 days, 1 nights
ROV 4 2 days, 2 nights
Deck foreman 2 1 days, 1 nights

Riggers 2 1 days, 1 nights
2.3 Project Schedule

An estimate project schedule has been created based upon installation of pipelay equipment onto
vessel and laying two (2) CT reels per trip. A total of 38 reels will be installed, equating to 14 pipelay
operations trips, with port calls between each to off-load empty reels and load next full reels.
This schedule is attached in Appendix E

3.0 INSTALLATION AND EQUIPMENT

3.1 Installation Overview
The pipe-line material is stored on a number of reels, each with approximately 1,800m of pipe. At least
2 reels, depending on the size of the installation vessel, would be stored on-board and the pipeline
would be laid by unreeling the pipe, starting with aft-most reel.
The pipe is lead off the underside of the reel to accommodate the layout of the Zap-Lok™ equipment
on deck. It is important that this system be installed parallel to the ship’s deck, insofar as this is possible
and for this reason the pipe cannot be led off the top of the reel.
Joints between successive reels of pipe would be made by the Zap-Lok™ process.
When the pipe had been unreeled from the initial reel the Zap-Lok™ system would secure the pipe end
while the reel drive system would disengage from the initial reel, move forward and engage the next
reel.
When the reel drive had engaged the next reel the new end would feed into Zap-Lok™ press, where
the pipe joint would be made. Laying would continue until all the pipe had been unwrapped from the
next reel and the process would continue until the end of the last reel had been reached.
At this point the last end would be sealed and a pull-head would be attached. The pull-head would be
connected to a pennant and buoy and carefully laid down onto the seabed, using an Abandonment
and Recovery (A&R) winch.
The vessel would transit to port to unload empty reels, re-stock with full reels, take on all necessary
supplies, change crew changes as required and return the field. On return to the field and the
completion of DP trials, the abandoned pipe end would be recovered and the laying process would
continue until the pipe had been unwrapped from the next reels.
The vessel would continue to lay pipe, transiting to port to restock until the pipe-line had reached the
target box adjacent to the platform. At this point the riser end termination would be attached,
together with a pull-head and the pipe would be laid down in preparation for connection to the
platform riser.
The pipeline would be integrity tested and leak tested using treated sea water. On completion of the
testing the pipe would be de-watered, dried and suspended until the riser would be connected.
3.2 Equipment Spread

The coiled pipe installation equipment spread required to install and connect each reel of coiled pipe
is described in this section. The principle of the installation equipment spread is to be able to mobilise
onto the installation vessel at a minimal cost each component that will work as a system to reel the
coiled pipe from the storage drum, straighten the pipe and then bring into the Zap-Lok™ connection
press to allow each reel of pipe to be connected. Thereafter the pipe shall pass through a tensioner
and then overboard via a stinger to support the pipeline during installation.

The following table lists the principle equipment which shall be provided for the installation of the
coiled pipe from the installation vessel:

3.3 Powered Reel Drive System

The reel drive system shall be suitable to handle the specified loaded reel of coiled pipe via a drive
mechanism. The reel drive shall be installed onto a track system that shall allow the reel dive to be
dived along the tracks from one-reel position, to the other.
Figure 1. Typical Reel Drive

The reel drive unit shall be suitable to accommodate the coiled pipe reels of which the specification
is as follows;
The reel dive shall be independently powered
3.3.1 Track System

The track system shall be laid onto the vessel deck with appropriate seafastening. The track will
accommodate the reel drive unit and be able to provide a controlled movement long the length of the
tracks to allow repositioning of the reel drive between the loaded reels.
3.3.2 Tower
The reel drive tower units (2) shall allow the loaded reel to be manoeuvred in both the vertical and
horizontal axis.

3.3.3 Reel Drive Hub

The reel drive hob interface shall be able to lock onto the specific profile of each loaded reel. The
dimensions of the reels are provided in Appendix C.
3.3.4 Reel
The reel(s) are Tenaris designed and details are provided in Appendix C
3.4 Pipeline Straighteners

The supplied pipe straightener system will need to incorporate a large bending shoe that pre-bends
the pipe entering the straightener to a known, fixed radius in order to maintain the pipe straightener
at a constant setting as the reel is emptied of the pipe.
The pre-bend shoe also aligns the pipe with the face of the reel so that the pipe can be wound levelly
and smoothly on and off the reel. A movable bending shoe / set of rollers and fixed reaction shoe / set
of rollers are used to reverse the bend and straighten the pipe as it comes off the reel.
However, it may not be possible to accommodate the size of an aligner and for this reason it may be
necessary for the installation contractor to consider having only one straightening system and
employing accurate control of the reverse bend straightening rolls, in order to minimize deck space.
3.5 Zap-Lok™ Connection System

The Zap-Lok™ joint is a widely used mechanical interference connection for pipeline use. The joint has
pressure, mechanical and fatigue strength suitable for the same service as welded joints, but the cost
of making and inspecting Zap-Lok™ joints is lower and installation rates are faster. Typical applications
include gathering and distribution systems, transmission lines and specialized pipe installations on land
and offshore. Thousands of kilometres of pipe have been joined using the Zap-Lok™ process under a
wide range of operating conditions. The Zap-Lok™ press machines have performed on virtually every
type of terrain, under severe weather conditions and in hostile environments. They have been used to
join offshore flowlines and injection lines for both internally and externally coated pipe.
The Zap-Lok™ process works on the basis of pre-forming a bell (female), or expanded area, which is
formed on one end of a pipe joint, and a pin (male) which is formed on the opposite end, Figure 1. This
part of the process can occur at various locations i.e. a Zap-Lok™ facility, pipe mill, or coating plant.
These end preparations are automatically controlled to specifications required for the Zap-Lok™ joint.
In the field, Zap-Lok™ field equipment is used to push together the bell end of one pipe joint and pin
end of another to form a metal-to-metal seal face. A specialised company specific Epoxy, known as
Zapoxy, is applied to each end to lubricate the joint during the pressing process as well as providing a
smooth bore and secondary seal.
Once the Zapoxy cures, the result is a metal-to-metal interference fit, with the connection made up of
the pipe itself, as can be envisaged by observation of the diagram below.

Figure 1 - Zap-Lok™ Joint
The Zap-Lok™ process produces strong, permanent joints which can be used in the same pressure
service as welded lines. This allows the pipeline system design to be based on a joint strength of 100%.
Extensive independent evaluations under varied laboratory test conditions and in-service performance
records have proven the Zap-Lok™ joint to be strong, reliable and leak proof. There have been no
reported in-service failures over its entire 40-year history. The Zap-Lok™ method can be used to join
relatively thin wall pipe, down to Schedule 20, which cannot be easily welded. Additionally, the Zap-
Lok™ joint can carry corrosive fluid without the vulnerability of threaded couplings, or damaged
internal coating resulting from the high temperatures produced for a welded joint.

For offshore use the Zap-Lok™ 8000 12T Series Press will be used and incorporated into the Modular
Pipelay System®. The unit will be fitted with the data recorder unit that is set up to record various
clamping and squeezing pressures on the press to enable a confirmation of the integrity of each
connected joint to be given. The press shall be mounted onto the render unit which allows the Zap-
Lok™ press to “float” when the clamps are engaged onto the pipe during the connection process.
The Zap-Lok™ 8000 12T specification is included in Appendix D.
3.5.2 Zap-Lok™ Belling Machine

The base case connection system uses a belled end at the end of each pipe to be joined. For this
reason, the belling machine will need to be manipulated into position to prepare both the new reel
end and the end of the installed pipe. The installation contractor shall make provision to accommodate
this requirement safely.
The Zap-Lok™ end prep machine inserts a lubricated mandrel into one end of the pipe forms the bell
end. The mandrel is shaped to leave a bell end with a uniform taper and with a short lead-in flare. The
mandrel size is the same for all wall thicknesses (within API-5L tolerances) of a given pipe diameter.
The belling of pipe involves plastic deformation or cold-forming. Therefore, a lubricant must be used
to prevent galling between the mandrel and the pipe, to reduce the force required and to minimise
wear on the mandrel. Following belling, the lubricant must be removed and the soundness of the
belled end checked visually. Additional inspection using magnetic particle methods is recommended
when the amount of expansion strain is larger than 10%.
Inspection of a new mandrel for dimensions is required for monitoring of wear on the mandrel is
required. Each mandrel size has specified tolerances.

3.5.3 Zap-Lok™ Pinning Machine

The pinning machine is likely to be needed to make pin ends on abandonment heads. The end of a
new reel will need to be provided with a pull-head. This is pulled into the Zap-Lok™ press and the end
cut off in preparation for making the belled end.
There is an opportunity to re-use this cut-off as a future abandonment head at least once, all that is
required would be to have a pin preparation made on the open end.
3.5.4 Zapoxy Mixing Unit

The Zap-Lok mixing unit is designed to provide a two-part mixing process of the Zapoxy lubricant
material. A Zapoxy mixing unit would be available and would normally be required when pipe is laid
using discrete lengths, where Zapoxy use would be frequent.
In this case, where the pipe-line is to be laid by the reel-lay method, there would only be need to
make joints infrequently, so it is anticipated that the Zapoxy compound could be mixed and applied
by hand.
3.5.5 Pipe Utility Pieces

The Feasibility Assessment report proposes a base case for Zap-Lok TM Jointing process in which each
of the pipe ends would be belled and a PUP, having a pin preparation at each end would be used to
make up the joint and the installation sequence drawings, in the Appendices, reflects this
arrangement.
3.6 Render Unit

The Render unit consists of a trolley mounted on rails which the Zap-Lok press is subsequently
mounted onto within the firing line. The render unit has two (2) main functions:
 Allow Zap-Lok press to render inboard or outboard relative to pipe end while making a pipe
connection, avoiding potential damage to Zap-Lok press or pipeline
 Aligning Zap-Lok press pipe clamps over pipe ends prior to making next connection
The Render unit is controlled via a hydraulic cylinder which drives the trolley forward or aft on the rails.
The hydraulic circuit is design to operate in “Drive” or “Float” mode via a changeover switch. When

the Zap-Lok press is clamped onto the pipe ends when making a connection the render unit will be in
“float” mode which will allow the press to move relative to any movement of the outboard pipe end.
The following photo is an example of a render unit designed for offshore Zap-Lok™ Pipeline
installation operations.
Example of Render Unit
3.7 Abandonment & Recovery Winch

A 15Te Abandonment and Recovery (A&R) winch fitted with 300m of subsea wire should be provided.
The winch will be hydraulically powered and manually operated and used for the initiation and
laydown of the pipeline and if required abandonment.
3.8 Turning Sheave

A deck mounted turning sheave will be positioned on the deck to provide a pivot pint for the A&R
winch wire to be rigged to assist in pulling out the coiled pipe from the reel.
The turning sheave should be fitted with load cell in order to indicate the weight/load being taken on
the A&R winch during operations.
3.9 Hold-back Pipe Clamp

A hold back clamp will be provided to secure the coiled pipe around the exterior of the pipe to act as
a securing point of the pipe during installation.
3.10 Tensioner
Pipeline tension will be controlled during lay by a 5Te, 2 tracked (horizontal) tensioner as required in
accordance with the installation tension calculations, within the Pipeline Installation Analysis Report
Z12/112996-ENG-RPT-00003. All pipe tensioner units shall be equipped with a safety device that
ensures that it cannot be open while the product is under tension. It shall also be fitted with a squeeze
limitation device to ensure product integrity. The Tensioner will be provided with a control cabin and
HPU.

3.11 Stinger
The stinger shall provide the designed pipe installation chord and radius specification on the pipeline,
as defined within report Z12-112996-ENG-RPT-00003 Pipeline Installation Analysis, section 4.1 as
follows:
 The stinger should a minimum of approximately 40m radius and 30m length in order to
maintain the pipeline within its yield strength during laying
 The spacing between roller boxes should be in the region of 5m. Spacing’s greater than this
may increase the local bending moment on the pipeline due to the larger span between roller
boxes.
Figure 8 is a representative sketch of a typical modular stinger.
The stinger shall be hinged so that it can be lowered into the water during pipe-lay operations and
lifted out of the water for transit and in port. If the installation vessel has no integral A-frame at the
stern then and suitable fixed A-frame structure shall be installed at the inboard end, which acts as a
lever arm during the deployment of the stinger. This A-frame structure does not require to be
independently hydraulically operated via servomotors, but must still have the ability to raise and lower
the stinger between operational and transit positions.
Figure 8 – Example of Typical Modular Stinger
One of the options for monitoring touch-down of the pipe-line would be to install a camera on the
stinger and monitor the departure angle of the pipe and compare it against tables which have been
constructed during the pipeline analysis.

Before the commencement of pipe laying works, a pre-lay survey of the pipeline system installation
corridor and mooring anchors corridor (If applicable) shall be conducted according to the applicable
reference documents.
From the pre-lay survey results, a freespan assessment task shall be performed in order to evaluate
the required freespan reduction works. When processing freespan assessment, it shall be
demonstrated whether or not the pipe will deflect and gain any intermediate supports under in-service

conditions. Also the location of these supports as well as their suitability as permanent supports
(integrity, susceptibility to scour, etc.) shall be fully assessed from the pre-survey results.
The location of freespan reduction supports, as well as the required pipeline lift-up height shall then

underwater inspection and survey procedure to assess the extent of the damage and where the
pipeline is to be cut shall be implemented.
4.3.6 Concrete Mattresses

The installed pipeline shall be protected and stabilised on seabed by use of concrete mattresses. These
shall be positioned once pipeline has been installed and after commissioning. These mattresses may
be deployed from either the Pipeline Installation Vessel or alternative supporting vessel by use of a
concrete mattress lifting beam via crane or winch. It may be necessary to deploy some mattresses
during pipeline installation to ensure stability in shallow water areas where seabed is hard and currents
may induce movement of pipeline on seabed.
There will be an estimated 449 mattresses to be installed along the pipeline route. The pipeline route
has been divided into six (6) section and the locations and number of concrete mattresses to be
deployed in each section can be referenced in extract pages of the Calculation of Pipeline document
DP00315-OWR in Appendix G.
Installation of concrete mattress in areas of very soft seabed conditions (non-bearing ground) shall be
avoided to safeguard against sinkage of the mattresses and potential damage to the pipeline from the
weight of the mattress.

5.0 PIPE-LINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
5.1 General
The purpose of this design guideline is to provide an outline to be followed when hydro testing
submarine pipelines for hydrocarbon service in the oil and gas industry.
The following section describes a typical flooding, cleaning and gauging method statement. Where
the text in following section mentions pigging it should be noted that it is normal practise NOT to use
pigs in lines of 4inch diameter and below due to the risk of getting a pig stick in the line.
In view of the bore and length of this pipe-line, consideration shall be given to using the alternative
technique of high velocity flushing instead of pigging.
The line could be flooded by high velocity flushing with treated seawater with a percentage overage
(TBA) to confirm the line is filled. The measure of internal condition of the pipe is achieved by
comparing actual back pressure with the theoretical value to confirm “true” bore of the line.
5.2 Pipeline Hydrotest
5.2.1 Flooding, Cleaning and Gauging of Pipeline System
The pipeline system shall be flooded, cleaning and gauged in accordance with the approved operation
procedure. See NOTE below.
Following deployment and connection of the downline, a connection test will take place to confirm
the integrity of the newly made subsea connection. Once the newly made connection is confirmed as
leak free, operations can commence.
The pipeline will be flooded, cleaning and gauged using up to 120%-line volume of chemically treated
and dyed seawater or potable water, inhibited and filtered as required to propel a 3 x bi-directional
pig train comprising of; cleaning pig, brush pig and gauge pig.
All pigs will be propelled at a typical speed of between 0.5m/s – 1.0 m/s as detailed below:
 Pump a minimum 250 linear metre slug of filtered, untreated seawater / potable water to act
as a lubricant
 Launch pig #1 (bi-directional flooding pig) followed by a minimum of 250 linear metres of
filtered, untreated seawater
 Launch pig #2 (bi-directional magnetic brush pig) followed by a minimum of 250 linear
metres of filtered, untreated seawater
 Launch pig #3 (bi-directional gauge pig) followed by 120%-line volume of filtered, untreated
seawater

NOTE
For 4.5” OD pipelines it is NOT usual to use pigs, for fear of them becoming stuck. Instead, it is more
usual to dewater the pipeline by high velocity flushing with air / nitrogen.
5.2.2 Pigging Parameters

The pigging parameters shall be determined for each individual pipeline and applied for flooding,
cleaning and gauging operations
5.2.3 Chemical Details

All water entering the pipeline shall be filtered and any water that is to remain in the pipeline for any
length of time will be chemically treated with chemicals to be determined.
The chemical injection pumps will be carefully chosen to ensure that their output can comfortably
achieve the dosage requirement in relation to the anticipated pig speeds.
The volumetric flow rate of flooding water will be monitored from flowmeter readings and therefore,
if required, the setting of the chemical injection pumps may be adjusted to achieve the correct
chemical dosage rates.
The following information will be recorded at pre-determined intervals as a minimum;

 Time (hh:mm)
 Pressure (barg)
 Flow Rate (m3/min)
 Total Volume of Seawater Pumped (m3)
 Total Volume of Chemicals Pumped (Ltrs)
 Flooding Medium Temperature & Ambient Temperature (°c)
The following information will be calculated at 15 minute intervals throughout flooding operations:
 Velocity (m/s)
 Distance (km)
 Time to arrival (hh:mm)
 Chemical Concentration (ppm)
Following confirmation that the pig train has been received at the onshore pig receiver, the centrifugal
pumps shall be shut down and the downline will be recovered to the deck.
5.3 Hydrostatic Strength Testing of Pipeline System

Following successful completion of flooding, cleaning and gauging operations, the pipeline shall be
subjected to a 24-hour hydrostatic strength test. The pipeline shall be tested in accordance with
approved project and client specifications, aligned with Polish recommended practice and
specification, all of these requirements from Polish RP are attached in approved building project:
The temporary equipment shall be set up as per approved site layout and function tested as per the
approved operational procedures.

The pipeline system shall be hydrostatically strength tested by means of a vessel based testing spread
connected to the designated tie-in point for both pressurisation and monitoring. The test will be
continually monitored by calibrated instrumentation and test equipment.
5.3.1 Pressure Testing

All pressure testing will be carried out taking into consideration the requirements of pipeline design
and client requirements. All temporary equipment to be used shall be pressure tested prior to
operations commencing at a test pressure of 1.1 x hydrostatic strength test pressure (TBA barg).
Fill up the pipeline with water and increase pressure up to WP x 1.8 (24.8MPa) for 2 hours realized
strength test, after this time decrease pressure to WP x 1.2 (16.6MPa) after stabilisation pressure keep
this for 24 hours realized Hydrostatic pressure test (tightness test)
Pressure recorders, pressure gauges and temperature recording equipment shall be in operation
during pressure testing activities and pressure relief valves shall be fitted for pressure testing the
temporary testing spread prior to strength testing operations.
5.3.2 Testing Parameters

The pipeline testing parameters shall be designed and approved the client and in accordance with the
standards and codes specified.
5.3.3 Pressurisation
Pressurisation of the pipeline will commence at a rate of 1 barg per minute until 35 barg is reached.
The following parameters shall be recorded at 1 bar intervals throughout this stage of pressurisation:
 Time (hh:mm)
 Pressure (barg)
 Total Volume Injection (Ltrs)
 Δ Volume Injected
A 30-minute hold period will commence, where a visual gross leak check will be completed both
topside and subsea. At this point the air content will be calculated using the extrapolation method, if
the air content is acceptable (0.2% for pigged pipelines) operations will re-commence. If the test limit
is exceeded, it shall be documented that the amount of air will not influence the accuracy of the test
significantly.
Pressurisation shall recommence at a controlled rate until 95% of the test pressure (TBA barg) has been
achieved. Upon reaching 95% of the test pressure, the pressurisation shall continue at a reduced rate
to ensure the test pressure is not exceeded. During pressurisation from 35 barg to 95% of the test
pressure, the following parameters shall be recorded at 5 barg intervals up to 50% of the test pressure
then at 2 bar intervals until the test pressure is reached.
All of these requirements shall be conducted according to Client representative inspector.
The following parameters shall be recorded at the above bar intervals throughout this stage of
pressurisation:
 Time (hh:mm)
 Pressure (barg)

 Total Volume Injection (Ltrs)

 Δ Volume Injected (Ltrs)
 Ambient Temperature (°c)
 Subsea Temperature (°c)
During pressurisation, pressure versus volume injected readings shall be plotted using a chart recorder.
In the event of any deviation from the apparent linearity or any significant difference between the
theoretical and actual curve values, the test shall be suspended and checks shall be carried out to
determine and rectify the cause.
The following parameters shall be recorded at the above bar intervals throughout this stage of
pressurisation:
5.3.4 Stabilisation & Hold Period

Upon reaching 100% of the test pressure, the pipeline shall be isolated and a stabilisation period shall
commence. Should the pipeline pressure drop below the test pressure, pressure shall be increased at
a rate of 0.1 barg per minute until 100% of test pressure is reached. This process shall continue until
pipeline pressure is stabilised.
A hold period of 24-hour shall commence. The following parameters shall be recorded at 30 minute
intervals:
 Time (hh:mm)
 Test Pressure (barg)
 Ambient Temperature (°c)
5.3.5 Test Acceptance

The hydrostatic strength test shall be considered successful when the pressure has been held for a 24-
hour hold period and if no variation occurs during the hold period which cannot be accounted for by
temperature change.
5.3.6 Depressurisation
Upon confirmation that the system pressure test is acceptable and complete, the pipeline shall be
depressurised in a steady, safe and controlled manner ensuring not to exceed a depressurisation rate
of 2 barg/min until the pipeline reaches ambient atmospheric pressure.
5.4 Pipeline De-watering and Drying
5.4.1 De-watering and Drying

Future tie-in operations between the pipe-line and the platform riser are beyond the scope of this
report.
In view of the need to pressure test the connection between the pipe-line and the riser, the client may
decide to leave de-watering and drying of the line until after this connection has been made and
successfully tested.
For this reason this report does not address these requirements.

END PREP PRODUCTION COMMENTS
Today production went well and we had no issues with the pipe or machinery. We prepped 225 joints with no reworks or rejects, so the estimated pipes left in
the order is around 460 joints for completion. We will continue production on Monday 4-25-16, as Sunday is an off day for the workers. The belling tool grip
mark readings measured for the first 5 joints of the day were #1 .001", #2 .001", #3 .000", #4 .001", #5 .004". Close to the end of the shift the heat numbers
began to change from the last several reported heat numbers. Also the drill hole was made this morning for the UT calibration standard procedure, and the
approval was confirmed to cut and re-bevel the calibration joint which at this point is the only rework we have for the order.

CALCULATION OF PIPELINE
3 Calculations with the use of AutoPIPE

To determine the maximum unsupported length of the pipeline, proper calculations were performed. The
pipeline model included mounted 8-ton stabilizing mats. Calculations showed that maximum acceptable
unsupported length of the pipeline is 50 meters.
Pic. 3.1. Model view
In case of pipeline scouring on the length of 50 meters, the maximum stress ratio of the material is 0.72.
The maximum deflection of the pipe occurs midway between mats and is 2182 mm.
Analyzing the geotechnical data provided by Lotos Petrobaltic it was found that, maximum scouring depth
may be up to 800mm. To modeled this case, possibility of pipeline deflection in unsupported point was
limited up to 800 mm in vertical axis. In case of total scouring on entire analysis lengths (50m), pipeline
will be laid on scouring seabed. Maximum stress ratio will be 0.54. The highest value of stress will take
place at the end of the mat. (as is marked on picture 3.2)

After the calculation of the maximum unsupported length of the pipeline, strength calculations for pipeline
were performed taking into account the trawl impact. Forces related with the trawl impact were calculated
in section 1.
Strength calculations have shown that maximum distance between mats is 50 meters, for the section
where pipeline scouring and trawl impact may occur. The 8-ton mats were assumed in the calculation.
Pic. 3.4. Model view
If unsupported section will be hit by trawl ( what is the most worst case in all analysis) the value of
maximum stress ratio will be 0.8. The highest value of stress will take place at the end of the mat. ( as is
marked on picture 3.5). When trawl will hook pipeline, pipeline will move 2789 mm in the direction of the
force caused from trawl. This is shown on picture 3.6.

Strength calculation taking into account initial temperature of fluid service was performed. Analysis
contained in description DP00315 point 7 shows that temperature of 4 stC will be reached in point
located 1500 m from riser flange (for maximum value of the flow). Initial temperature of fluid service was
introduced to the model according to the chart below.

The performed analysis show that set temperature in pipeline does not affected on exceeding of
allowable stressed. The highest deflection in analysis system equal 4.67 mm.
Strength analysis and deflation analysis for point where pipeline outlet on surface of seabed from HDD
drilling was performed. For 12st angle of outlet pipeline from HDD drilling occurs pipeline deflection.
Deflection cause laying the pipeline on the seabed right behind outlet point. With such a deflection stress
ration equal 0.96.
