ODT-104 FUNDAMENTALS OF OFFSHORE & ONSHORE PIPELINE

The course has been designed to provide a comprehensive study into the subject of offshore and onshore Pipeline. Through the one-and-a-half century of pipeline operating practice, the petroleum industry has proven that pipelines are by far the most economical means of large scale overland transportation for crude oil, natural gas, and their products, clearly superior to rail and truck transportation over competing routes, given large quantities to be moved on a regular basis. Transporting petroleum fluids with pipelines is a continuous and reliable operation.

ODT-106 INTRODUCTION TO RISER DESIGN

Risers, commonly defined as the portion of the pipeline from the sea bottom up to the platform. The pipeline connects an offshore Floating Production Structure or a Drilling Rig to a sub- sea system either for production purposes such as drilling, production, injection and export, or for drilling, completion and workover purposes. Risers are considered to be the most critical product in an offshore pipeline development taking into account the dynamic loads and sour service conditions they need to withstand. Risers are subjected to greater fatigue loads and extremely challenging requirements in terms of tolerances, mechanical properties and environmental conditions.
