FOREWARD TO THE 2ND EDITION
Being an avid pipeline engineer for many years, it was with the keenest interest that I
reviewed the contents of this new text. What I discovered was a vault of valuable and
compelling information for both the seasoned pipeline engineering veteran and the newest
student to the field. The subject matter is very detailed and contains the necessary depth to
satisfy both the daily engineering needs as well as entry level information into developing
fields.
This work extends the breath and scope of Professor Yong Bai’s previous pipeline and riser
text by the addition of many new subjects and further depth within principal design topics.
The pipeline and riser design, system reliability and flow assurance information that has been
collected and developed within this book saves engineers countless hours of acquiring and
compiling technical papers and specifications. And in the fast paced offshore pipeline
engineering business, time like reserves is continually in short supply.
The offshore industry is moving forward to grasp new technology at a quickened pace due to
the growing global demand for hydrocarbon energy sources and the tight project budget
requirements. The rapid pace requires new personnel to gain insight into difficult issues in a
reduced timeframe. A text, such as this, has intrinsic value because engineers and support
personnel can understand the complex issues faster and more thoroughly in order to assist the
project teams in a more productive entry capacity. The text naturally assists seasoned
engineers in catching up on an issue or two that may have been developing while they were
absorbed in more traditional design projects through the years.
New pipeline and riser technologies are being required because the new energy sources are
being found in deeper water depths and in more hostile environments. Project design
requirements frequently include hurricanes or typhoons, earthquakes, subsea mudslides,
natural seabed erosion, liquefaction and soils transport by currents plus the industry wide goal
to maintain control over our natural recourses and prevent any damage to the environment.
Tsunamis are now added to this exhaustive list, highlighted by this year’s major disaster.
In areas like the Gulf of Mexico, routine water depths for pipeline designs are now 3,000 feet,
pipelines are already installed beyond 7,000 feet and projects are encroaching on 9,000 feet
depth. Deep water takes on an entirely new meaning every few years. It is likely a surprise to
the students and young pipeline engineers that so much of this industry is still being redefined
and reformulated due to ever evolving challenges.
To accomplish a successful pipeline and riser design with high reliability, when faced with
many difficult factors, engineering issues must be correctly and accurately addressed. This
text yields a roadmap not only for the pipeline engineer but also the project managers,
estimators and regulatory personnel hoping to gain an appreciation of the overall issues and
directed approaches to pipeline and riser design solutions.
Many of us who have worked within the subsea pipeline and riser business are in the field
because it has remained continuously challenging for decades. As many complex problems
are carefully delineated and solved, more economical field development scenarios evolve
which generate the need for yet newer solutions presenting technical gaps to be filled by the
engineering community.
This book is a wonderful text for the uninitiated student in the offshore adventure of subsea
pipelines and risers filled with all the severe weather and complex soils conditions.
Containing decades of expert information and insight into this most challenging environmental
arena, many years of ‘on the job’ experience can be gained by simply reading this text.
The information compiled and presented in this text by Professor Yong Bai and his brother Dr.
Qiang Bai will certainly be a valuable reference for many years to come.
