#* Lateral buckling and pipeline walking assessment and mitigation design for pipeline systems associated with the CLOV development, which is located in the north-western part of Block 17, deep offshore Angola, approximately 40km north-north-west of the Girassol Development and 200km to shore. It consists of four reservoirs in water depths ranging from 1050m to 1410m.

#* Review of Subsea 7 Bundle Design Report, with particular reference to the flowline combined load checking and identification of applicable limit states. Commenting on the suitability of the approach taken to check the combined stress within the bundle system used to demonstrate acceptability to PD8010, i.e. FE modelling, application of forces, design inputs (i.e. props).  Demonstrating that the design of the bundle does not require pre tensioning.

#* Perform non-linear finite element analyses to assess the acceptability of the current design and conclude on whether additional mitigation measures are required. The assessments were based on DNV-OS-F101 and DNV-RP-F110 and considered the interaction between lateral buckling and fishing gear interaction. The scope included the assessment of the sections of pipeline on the seabed, on the rocky outcrop region where free spans were expected and at the crossings along the pipeline.

#* 2009
#* Review of the phase II lateral buckling analyses for a 12" Gas Export flowline and completion of the detailed phase III assessments to establish the lateral buckling mitigation measure. Assessment of the pipeline response at uncontrolled, on-bottom buckles and at multi-crossings location using detailed non-linear FEA to ensure strains remain acceptable and the maximum pipe displacement at crossings within the supports. Assessment of the VIV response of the pipeline at the multiple crossing.

#* Verification and assessment of the condition of the as installed production and water injection pipelines, with regards to their lateral buckling behaviour. This included assessment of mitigation measures to correct/trigger unformed lateral buckles and assess the effects of, and solution for, the vertical vibration of the pipelines at the buckle initiators, due to unexpected transient changes to the contents density.

#* The Jasmine Field is a rich gas condensate field located approximately 9km west of the existing Judy platform in ConocoPhillips J-Block operating unit. Concept design of the lateral buckling mitigation measures for the HPHT pipeline. As part of the concept design, different pipeline configuration options were considered, such as cooling spools with pipeline trenching and backfilling, shallow burial with intermediate spools and surface snake lay option.
