SUMMARY OF THE STUDY

The study represents an updating of a previous evaluation performed in 2002 and is based on the following requirements:

Malta shore approach at Delimara,

Export pressure = 54 barg

Minimum delivery pressure = 39 barg,

Flowrate scenario:

Max Peak = 106570 Sm3/h

The hydraulic study performed according to the same approach adopted in 2002 leads to the definition of the following pipeline diameter

OD = 18”

The expected accuracy of the estimate is ± 20%

Pipeline Burial Configuration:

The pipeline is assumed buried in the onshore sections and in the coastal areas (i.e. for WD<30m at Gela side and for WD<35-40m at Malta side). The pipeline is considered unburied in the deep water.
