Subject Deep Water Pipeline Repair Methods
Performing Activity Project Consulting Services
Principal Investigator Manny Gagliano
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Completion Complete
Description The purpose of the study is to identify and evaluate current and new deepwater pipeline repair methods. This study will allow the MMS to evaluate the current state-of-the-art deepwater repair methodologies. It will also give the MMS the technical background to evaluate current regulatory protocols and possibly add new ones. Since many new and existing pipelines are located in water depths greater than 1,000 ft, the MMS needs a study that will investigate deepwater pipeline repairs.  The study will focus on domestic companies and list foreign companies in lesser detail.
Progress Project is complete.
