SPECIFICATIONS

 

Design and Construction

 

The offshore pipeline must be designed and constructed in accordance with Offshore Standard DNV-OS-F101 – Submarine Pipeline Systems (Offshore Pipeline) as amended from time to time, which is incorporated in its entirety in Australian Standard AS2885.4 – Pipelines, Gas and Liquid Petroleum (Part 4: Submarine Pipelines) (as amended from time to time). Specifically, the design and construction phase of the pipeline must comply with DNV-OS-F101.

 

Basis of Design 

 

The pipeline design is based on the following parameters:

 

Item 

Item Description 

Details 

1 

Outside diameter of pipe  

12” rigid pipeline: 305 mm 

2 

Wall thickness of pipe 

12” rigid pipeline: 17–19.4 mm  

3 

Length 

57.96 km (approximate) 

4 

Design life 

15 years (approximate) 

5 

Pipeline Material 

Carbon Steel 

6 

Pipeline Steel Grade 

DNV-OS-F101 Grade 450 

7 

Pipeline Specification 

DNV-OS-F101 Seamless 

8 

Minimum yield strength of pipe steel 

450 MPa  

9 

Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure 

12” rigid pipeline: 13.2 MPa 

6” tie-in spools: 13.2 MPa 

10 

Maximum Design Capacity 

Gas flow: 81 MMscf/d 

11 

Maximum Operating Temperature 

12” rigid pipeline: 40°C 

6” tie-in spools: 40°C 

12 

Maximum Design Temperature 

12” rigid pipeline: 50°C 

6” tie-in spools: 50°C 

13 

Minimum Design Temperature 

12” rigid pipeline: 0°C 

6” tie-in spools: -10°C 

14 

Characteristics of substance proposed to be conveyed 

Gas and condensate. 

15 

General plans and descriptions of pump stations, tank stations or valve stations and their equipment 

N/A 

16 

General plans and description of pigging facilities 

Temporary pig launchers and receivers will be installed at the PLEM. 

17 

Cathodic Protection 

External corrosion management shall be via a low profile sacrificial cathodic anode system. Bracelet anodes, positioned approximately every 24 joints, will be connected via doubler plates welded to the pipeline. The system is designed to be maintenance free and monitored via ROV inspection and measurement where required as part of regulatory surveys. Anode design and supply will be in accordance with DNV-RP-F103.
