Klappentext The development of oil and gas fields offshore requires specialized pipeline equipment. The structures must be strong enough to withstand the harshest environments and ensure that production is not interrupted and remains economically feasible. However, recent events in the Gulf of Mexico have placed a new importance on maintenance and reliability. The new section, Condition Based Maintenance, introduces the subject of maintenance to Offshore Pipelines, 2e. Written primarily for engineers and management personnel working on offshore and deepwater oil and gas pipelines, this book covers the fundamentals needed to design, install, and commission pipeline projects. This new section along with a thorough update of the existing chapters represents a 30% increase in information over the previous edition.

Report
"The authors are the most respected names in the area of designing, installing, testing, and operating submarine pipelines.It is a useful book for engineers and developers challenged with bringing oil and gas onshore. I would recommend that if you work in the offshore pipeline industry, you have this practical reference available." --Saeid Mokhatab, Chairman of Natural Gas Engineering Editorial Advisory Board
