Summary This paper addresses the phenomenon of pipeline walking, which can cause cumulative axial displacement of a whole pipeline, leading to potential failures at tie-ins or risers. This phenomenon can massively complicate the design of deepwater flowlines and has significantly affected field layouts on a number of recent projects. The Safebuck joint-industry project (JIP) has developed new analytical equations from first principles that predict the rate of walking. These equations have been successfully validated against finite element (FE) models and bring welcome simplicity to conceptual design assessments. |
