Pipeline Analysis

ETS specialise in the following aspects of Pipeline and Pipework both subsea & topside in the following areas:

• Flow Assurance 

  • Transient Analysis

  • Wax and Hydrate Management

  • Surge Analysis

  • Steady State Analysis

• Well Modelling

• Intelligent Pigging

• Advanced Modelling and Analysis

• Design Life Assessment

In-service pipelines often suffer from fatigue damage (FLS) and local buckling failure (ULS) due to the free span. Pipeline vibration due to vortex shedding (in-line and cross-flow VIV) and direct wave actions causes accumulative fatigue in a free span.

ETS possess comprehensive subsea engineering experience in assessment of free spans of in-service pipelines. Our approach is in full in compliance with “DNV-RP-F105 – Free Spanning Pipelines” recommended practice.
