Project Number 197
Date of Summary March 31, 1995
Subject Residual Strength of Dented and Corroded Pipelines
Performing Activity Det Norske Veritas
Principal Investigator Dr. Yong Bai
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Completed
Description The Minerals Management Service is one of six participants of this Joint Industry Project (JIP) to characterize the residual strength of dented and corroded pipelines applicable to offshore operations. Experimentally validated tools such as finite-element approach and a set of derived equations for the analysis of the residual strength of dented and corroded pipelines will be developed. Information of this type is needed for better safety and protection of the environment to prevent offshore oil and gas leaks from pipelines.
