Pipeline Engineering Group is directly involved within the basic engineering works and carrying out the conceptual studies of offshore pipelines and loading and offloading terminals. The followings are the normal group activities in this stage.
Pipeline Route Selection
As the first and most critical task in pipeline design, the pipeline route selection includes a technical and economic evaluation of alternative routes during the conceptual design phase.
Preparing Pipeline Basis of Design
Which addresses the main project parameters and key information for detailed engineering works
Pipeline Design Procedure
Which summarizes the design methodology that will be followed during the Basic and Detailed Design
Pipeline Cathodic Protection Concept
Which provides the basis and requirements for the design, the fabrication and the installation of cathodic protection systems for the offshore pipelines
Performing Pipeline Hydraulic Analysis
In this analysis the steady state pipeline hydraulic analysis is performed to assure the selection correctness of pipeline nominal sizes.
In addition, the following drawings are made during Basic Engineering step
- Field Layout Drawing
- Pipelines General Layouts
- Piping and Instrumentation Diagram
