Paper Number: SPE-149582-MS
... indication as to how severe ice conditions will be on the license areas until the end of the winter period. Naturally occurring open water periods range from zero days to one hundred days per season. The open water duration seems to change randomly and is therefore unpredictable. The process required...

Paper presented at the SPE Arctic and Extreme Environments Conference and Exhibition, October 18–20, 2011
Paper Number: SPE-149581-MS
... Abstract In the arctic environment the installation of pipelines offshore and in the area between land and sea is a challenge. The remote logistics, the short and unpredictable season and the trenching and burial in often not well known possibly permafrost soils require novel approaches all...

... be such that additional excavation/trenching can be carried out if required. The presence of seabed permafrost or massive ice features may require over-excavation, which will in turn require additional reach capability of the trenching equipment. The seabed materials may also require significant over-excavation...
