... Abstract Large diameter UDW flexible pipes usually require lazy-wave configuration to withstand operational fatigue life. In a response to the current uncertain oil/gas price, the opportunity to design and deploy Free Hanging Catenary risers has been identified as the means to significantly...

... the pipe by the slips. The research shows that modifying and optimizing the combination of these parameters can not only lead to the design of handling equipment with higher slip crush capacities, but it also leads to the development of a comprehensive model that can more accurately predict the failure...

... Abstract Mechanically lined pipe (MLP) has been successfully used in many applications where the fatigue load is low. The use of mechanically lined pipe in higher fatigue load applications require proof of fatigue strength and therefore, additional testing, including full scale fatigue testing...

... the rig floor and automate processes that are repetitive in nature. The drill floor is naturally seen as an area where the repetitious nature of pipe handling, installation, and removal can be automated for safety and efficiency. Although technologies do currently exist to mechanize the process, further...

Flexible Pipe is an essential component within the overall production system, where its unique characteristics provide an enabling capability...

... radius allowed during installation phase. Despite of that, the water depth and differential pressure in Pre-Salt scenario result in several customized flexible pipe structures, which makes pre-lay much more complex.

... Abstract In-pipe robots are a powerful tool for hydrate plug removal inside ultra-deep water pipes. These robots may operate with energy supplied by umbilical cables immersed in oil. Present work focus on the development of a general strategy for computing the required forces for pulling...

... The aim of this paper is to establish a relationship between strain and acceleration, obtained at the center of the specimen, during resonant fatigue test of a full-scale X-65 seamless rigid pipe. The pipe was submitted to five different strain levels. Strain and acceleration on the outer...

... Abstract Multiphase flows in oil- and gas pipelines involve a variety of different flow regimes. The different flow regimes are determined by the geometric arrangement of oil, gas and water inside the pipe, and evolve in a dynamic manner along a flowline, from bottom hole to receiving...
