The offshore Russian Arctic offers new challenges for the pipeline engineer, which if not properly approached can lead to astronomical development costs. With all the associated problems of life support and logistics, an unrealistic approach to the construction, and its associated excessive costs, hydrocarbon developments could well be stifled. Considerable experience with field developments in Alaska and the Canadian Arctic has shown that with innovative engineering approaches, projects can be completed which are technically viable and commercially sound. This paper provides a historical background of the offshore pipeline research and developments and discusses in detail the pipeline installation in the Canadian Arctic for Panarctic Drake 76 and the Polargas thirty-six inch main gas transmission system. With the changing of the location to the Russian Arctic, this paper discusses how these successfully developed technologies can be applied to the Russian scene.
