Garden Banks 388 deepwater pipeline span avoidance
- Brown and Root Inc., Houston, TX (United States)
This paper will describe the span avoidance measures taken for the installation of the Garden Banks 388 deepwater oil and gas gathering pipelines. The two 12 inch pipelines connect a shallow water facility in EI-315 to a deep water subsea template in GB-388. These pipelines run across the irregular continental slope typically found in moderate to deep water in the Gulf of Mexico. To minimize pipeline spans, steps were taken during design, survey, and installation phases of the project. During each phase, as additional information became available, analyses and resulting recommended approaches were refined. This continuity, seldom easily obtained, proved beneficial in translating design work into field results.
