Introduction
• First North Sea pipelines in the 1960s• Progression to deeper water, higher pressures, higher temperatures• Development of design has moved hand-in-hand with codes and
analysis

Early pipeline design

Early pipeline design
• Size the pipe based on allowable stress• Design to e.g. ASME B31.8• Lay it from the barge and bury it
• Largely successful, as shown by the longevity of the pipelines• Not high temperature

Early pipeline design
• DNV rules for submarine pipelines issued in 1976• Improvements to steels and laying techniques• Little change in design approach – based on allowable
stress • 1978 saw a change to surface laying, for Shell’s FLAGS
• 1st upheaval buckling in pipeline identified in 1986• Maersk Rolf A/Gorm E pipeline in Danish sector• Laid in 1985
• Had been checked for upheaval buckling using classical approach
• No imperfections

The advent of computer analysis
![Page 8: PIPELINE DESIGN ENGINEERING PAST AND FUTURE jones - petrofac.pdf · 3 Introduction • First North Sea pipelines in the 1960s • Progression to deeper water, higher pressures, higher](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040602/5e96a8191d04be2173792f25/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The advent of computer analysis
• Further North Sea upheaval buckling incidents in the late 1980s
• Extensive research into the levels of cover required to stop upheaval buckling
• Development of new techniques, inputs and the use of computer analysis
• 2d finite element software such as Upbuckand routines such as LR-Star – early 1990s
• Start to utilise the seabed profile to define the level of restraint required
LR-Star output

The advent of computer analysis
• Strain based design, recommended as an approach from a 1990 JIP• Developed into limit state design • Adopted by DNV Rules in 1996• Reduction in wall thickness, axial force and cover• Still lots of business for the rock dumpers

2D to 3D
![Page 11: PIPELINE DESIGN ENGINEERING PAST AND FUTURE jones - petrofac.pdf · 3 Introduction • First North Sea pipelines in the 1960s • Progression to deeper water, higher pressures, higher](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040602/5e96a8191d04be2173792f25/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

3D and lateral buckling
• Supported by research into seabed interaction of surface laid pipe
• Enabled the use of engineered buckles, natural features and snake lay
• Improvements in non-linear FE analysis, computer speed all contributed to improvement
• Change from buried pipelines to surface pipelines with lateral buckling
• Started in the late 1990s• 2000s produced Safebuck JIP and
guidelines and DNV-RP-F110

What we can do now

3D Pipeline buckling analysis
• Abaqus model with 3D seabed
• Assists with design of minimum mitigation measures
• Shows effects which are not seen in simplified analysis
• Requires sensitivity analysis to input parameters

Pipeline buckling analysis
• 3D analysis applicable to unusual situations• Wide protective trench for pipeline in hurricane prone regions
• Thermally induced buckling allowed within the trench

Multi-scale pipeline FE modelling
• Analysis of buckling and failure of pipeline
• Beam model of pipeline span growth and the effect of buoyancy, current and waves
• Local model for prediction of pipeline buckling and failure
• Use of local model gives correct boundary condition to the model

severing predicted
• Cause of previously unexplained second buckle found
Prediction of buckle at failure locationPrediction of buckle at
sandbank at intact end

The Future• From the SUT conference SUBTECH ’91, Back to the Future
• Simpler tools for lateral buckling analysis?• Materials development – will steel remain the material?• Incorporation of sensors to monitor behaviour and life?
