Due to the pipelay vessel motions during installation of a subsea pipeline, as-laid direction pipeline changes along nominally straight section route. In High Pressure Temperature (HPHT) presence rogue lateral Out Straightness (OoS) can adversely influence reliability buckle initiation at engineered buckling sites e.g. sleepers. This implies requirement study ensure unwanted buckles are not for...
