Subsea pipelines and risers
Being an avid pipeline engineer for many years, it was with the keenest interest that I
reviewed the contents of this new text. What I discovered was a vault of valuable and
compelling information for both the seasoned pipeline engineering veteran and the newest
student to the field. The subject matter is very detailed and contains the necessary depth to
satisfy both the daily engineering needs as well as entry level information into developing
fields.
This work extends the breadth and scope of Professor Yong Bai's previous pipeline and riser
text by the addition of many new subjects and fiirther depth within principal design topics.
The pipeline and riser design, system reliability and flow assurance information that has been
collected and developed within this book saves engineers countless hours of acquiring and
compiling technical papers and specifications. And in the fast paced offshore pipeline
engineering business, time like reserves is continually in short supply.
The offshore industry is moving forward to grasp new technology at a quickened pace due to
the growing global demand for hydrocarbon energy sources and the tight project budget
requirements. The rapid pace requires new personnel to gain insight into difficult issues in a
reduced timeframe. A text such as this has intrinsic value because engineers and support
personnel can understand the complex issues faster and more thoroughly in order to assist the
project teams in a more productive entry capacity. The text naturally assists seasoned
engineers in catching up on an issue or two that may have been developing while they were
absorbed in more traditional design projects through the years.
New pipeline and riser technologies are being required because the new energy sources are
being found in deeper water depths and in more hostile environments. Project design
requirements frequently include hurricanes or typhoons, earthquakes, subsea mudslides,
natural seabed erosion, liquefaction and soils transport by currents plus the industry wide goal
to maintain control over our natural recourses and prevent any damage to the environment.
Tsunamis are now added to this exhaustive list, highlighted by this year's major disaster.
