Preface

Producing oil and gas from offshore and deepwater by means of pipelines has gained a tremendous momentum in the energy industry in the past thirty years. At the time of this writing, the pipeline technology has been successfully used in areas with water depths of greater than 8000 feet. Pipelines, and more generally long tubular structures, are major oil and gas industry tools used in exploration, drilling, production, and transmission. Installing and operating tubular structures in deep waters places unique demands on them. The high pressures and elevated temperatures of the oil wells, the high ambient external pressures, the large forces involved during installation, and generally the hostility of the environment can result in a large number of limit states that must be addressed. This book was intended to cover the scope of limit strength, structural dynam
