2008 |
FEED design of an onshore Sulphur Transportation System,
in the UAE. The system consists of a series of insulated
PIP pipelines (adding up to a total of over 800km), in
which molten sulphur is transported on the inner pipe.
In the annulus of the PIP system, superheated water is
circulated to maintain the sulphur temperature within
the range at which it can be transported in liquid format,
i.e. between 125 and 150C. The design also includes single,
insulated water return pipelines to circulate the superheated
water. |
Jasmine Field
North Sea |
ConocoPhillips |
2008 |
The Jasmine field (nominally HPHT) is a rich gas condensate
field located approximately 9km west of the existing Judy
platform in ConocoPhillips J-Block operating unit. Key
is experience of scour and fishing in the area and previous
work on Jade pipeline project. KW provided CoP with some
of the Pipeline Concept Engineering Services by considering
different pipeline options (i.e. single insulated pipeline
and pipe-in-pipe options) and insulation coatings. 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. The vulnerability of different pipeline options
to upheaval buckling and lateral buckling were all assessed. |
