چکیده
China-Myanmar oil & gas pipeline project covers 7,676 miles in all. The project met with complex geological conditions, construction types along the line, and long-distance oil & gas parallel laying pipeline. Because the pipeline layout and the construction are more complicated, it is necessary to make the stress analysis of oil & gas parallel laying pipeline traversing tunnels. Software CAESAR II is used to make numerical simulation on one section of oil & gas parallel laying pipeline. Through analysis we can get the main load infector effecting oil & gas pipeline stress, and the location of the most dangerous section. In the end, some feasible suggestions can be put forward for the security of oil & gas parallel laying pipeline according to the analysis conclusion.

Stress analysis of parallel oil and gas steel pipelines in inclined tunnels
Geological conditions along long distance pipelines are complex. In consideration of differences in elevation and terrain obstacles, long distance pipelines are commonly laid through tunnels. Oil and gas pipelines are often laid side by side to reduce construction costs and minimize geological impact. The layout and construction of parallel oil and gas pipelines are more complex than those of s...

Underground oil pipelines are made of pressurized pipes, and when damage occurs, the consequences can be disastrous. Pipeline accidents caused by stress can be attributed to material corrosion, impractical design, manufacturing defect, environmental damage, and man-made destruction. In this study, by utilizing the stress analysis software CAESAR II, the stress of pipelines in high and steep slo...

The gas pipelines usually undergo complicated and changeable regional environment. As the level of the potential difference or pipeline’s route changes in the space and therefore elastic bending cannot meet the needs when pipe changes its direction, we generally use pipe bend to connect two pipelines with different spatial extend direction during the pipe laying period, and it can reduce the te...

Transmission and distribution pipelines have a significant role in the oil and gas industries. Pipelines are facing different threat like corrosion, improper design and incorrect operation. Gas vapor released from a pipeline (owned by NIOC) failure spread out and reached to ignition source. Due to gas outdoor spreading, “flash fire” occurred and flame return caused “vapor cloud explosion” of ga...
