... Abstract For small to medium size rigid pipelines, reel-laying is an efficient installation method. Higher lay rates are achieved thanks to unreeling rigid pipeline down to seabed. However, the process is mechanically onerous. Pipelines go through successive large bending strains up to 2% or 3...

...-lay method, the liner is at risk of wrinkling when the MLP is subjected to higher bending strains during reel-lay. To allow reeled installation, the liner strain capacity is enhanced by either increasing the liner thickness or pressurizing the MLP during installation. In the former approach...

... Abstract The criticality of girth weld flaws in subsea pipelines, installed by methods introducing plastic strains such as reel-lay, is usually evaluated through an engineering critical assessment (ECA). Most ECA methodologies require weld overmatch for pipes subjected to plastic deformation...

... 01 11 2011 Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs) are commonly used in deepwater field developments due to the cost benefits associated with their relatively simple geometry. Installation of SCRs by reel lay is generally the most cost effective approach. One of the major design challenges...

... Umbilicals use steel tubing of different sizes to carry various pressurized fluids. During manufacturing, transportation and installation of the umbilicals, the tubing is subjected to reeling and unreeling operations, resulting in a cumulative amount of plastic strain. The amount of strain...

... 07 10 2008 One key component of umbilicals is the steel tubing carrying the pressurized fluids. During manufacturing and deployment of the umbilical, the tubing is subjected to a series of reeling and unreeling operations, resulting in a cumulative amount of plastic strain...
