A pipeline is discussed as a possible solution for transportation of crude oil from the Statfjord field in the Norwegian North Sea to Norway. A typical pipeline route profile is described across the Norwegian Trench which has a maximum depth of about 330m. Feasibility and problems in design, installation and underwater operations are considered. A discussion of deep water pipeline technology includes the following topics: pipe strength, submerged weight, weight design, pipe-laying equipment, laying stress control, position control, wet-buckle repair, and shore approach.
