Design and construction of the Hondo sour gas pipeline

Conference · · Offshore Technol. Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5697821
This 6.9 mile long subsea pipeline is designed to deliver 60 MMSCFD of sour natural gas from Exxon's ''Hondo A'' platform, which stands in 850' of water in the Santa Barbara Channel, to an onshore gas processing plant in Las Flores Canyon, 20 miles west of Santa Barbara, California. This 12'' pipeline is the deepest water line from a platform to shore off the U. S. West Coast and is believed to be the third deepest line ever installed from a platform to shore. This paper covers details of the final pipeline design and also describes the installation of the offshore portion of the pipeline.
