Abstract

Mechanical design of a deepwater pipeline wall thickness was performed by using the recent design rules. Characteristics and limitations of the new design rules were identified through a case study of a deepwater oil pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. A design procedure was established for mechanical design of deepwater pipeline wall thickness. Comparison of the new API and DNV codes are presented.
