This paper describes how the reverse J-tube method, a technique developed by Exxon especially for construction of deepwater pipeline systems, was used to install three pipelines, ranging from 6 to 12 inches in diameter, between the Hondo platform, located in 835 ft of water in the Santa Barbara Channel, offshore California, and the Hondo SALM (Single Anchor Leg Mooring) base located approximately 1.5 miles away in 500 ft of water. Model tests conducted to prove the technique and other full-scale reverse J-tube installations in the Gulf of Mexico and various locations overseas are briefly discussed. An assessment is made concerning cost effective applications for this method.
