Characteristics of underwater water pipes

1. Underwater water pipelines can continuously transport oil without being affected by environmental conditions, and will not force oil fields to reduce production or shut down due to capacity limitations of offshore oil storage facilities or delayed shuttle oil tanker transportation.

2. Therefore, the oil transportation efficiency is high and the oil transportation capacity is large.

3. The underwater water pipeline has a short construction period, fast production, convenient management, and low operating costs.

   Data required for construction:

   (1)Transporting fluids: including oil and gas category, flow rate, composition, density, viscosity, dew point, temperature, pressure, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity.

   (2)Engineering Geology: Types and mechanical properties of seabed soil, vertical and horizontal friction characteristics of seabed, composition of seabed surface soil structure, seabed topography, longitudinal section diagram of seabed pipeline path, and seismic intensity.

   (3)Oceanography data: depth map, ocean currents, waves, tides, ice, water temperature, seawater salinity, distribution of flora and fauna in the sea area, and visibility of seawater.

   (4)Meteorological data: wind direction and speed, temperature, pressure, and visibility.

   (5)Other information: nautical charts of the sea area, submarine cables or pipelines that need to be crossed, underwater obstacles, waterways, fishing areas, and relevant government regulations.
