MECHANICS OF OFFSHORE PIPELINES VOLUME 1 BUCKLING AND COLLAPSE - STELIOS KYRIAKIDES & EDMUNDO CORONA.

Although offshore oil and gas production was conducted throughout the entire 20th century,
the industry’s modern importance and vibrancy did not start until the early 1970s,
when the North Sea became a major producer. Since then, the expansion of the offshore
oil industry into many parts of the world has been both continuous and rapid. This growth
has been coupled with a gradual movement to increasingly deeper waters, where today
production has reached approximately 7,000 ft (2,130 m) while exploration is proceeding
as deep as 10,000 ft (3,050 m).
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.
The technical challenges of the field have spawned significant research.
