Offshore Pipelines Design, Installation, and Maintenance

The development of offshore oil and gas fields demands specialized pipeline equipment capable of withstanding extreme environments while maintaining reliable, cost-effective production. Recent Gulf of Mexico incidents have heightened focus on maintenance and reliability, with a new section on Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) introducing multi-objective optimization to maximize reliability, prevent failures, and reduce costs using proportional hazards models and control limit policies. Primarily aimed at engineers and managers, this updated edition featuring a 30% increase in content covers essential fundamentals for designing, installing, and commissioning offshore and deepwater pipelines, along with expanded coverage of maintenance strategies, support systems, cost-effective reliability approaches, and lifecycle management tools.
