PROCEDURE FOR REGULATING DEEP-SEA PIPELINE LAYING OPERATIONS IN ADVERSE SEA STATES

In order to help establish procedures for the design and installation of deep-sea pipelines by the lay-barge method, the dynamic behavior characteristics of the stinger and the pipeline being laid were theoretically analyzed, and their survival conditions were determined with prevailing sea conditions and lay-barge motions taken into account. Further, these theoretically determined dynamic behavior characteristics were proved to be true by both laboratory model tests and field measurements taken at an offshore installation site. These data were used to propose a procedure for regulating deep-sea pipeline-laying operations in adverse sea states.
