    Abstract: A method of securing a pipeline to the bed of a body of water includes moving an underwater vehicle selectively, on the bed of the body of water, along the pipeline; transporting a plurality of fastening devices on the underwater vehicle; and driving each fastening device partly into the bed of the body of water, close to the pipeline, by a handling device mounted on the underwater vehicle, to confine the pipeline between the bed of the body of water and the fastening device.

    Abstract: For regulating the lateral buckling of a section of pipe, at least one device permanently applies a force to a point on the section of pipe. The force is preferably applied substantially horizontally and perpendicular to the axis of the pipe. Preferably, two of the devices that apply equal and opposing forces are positioned at a distance from each other along the section of a pipe. Each device comprises a clamp, a cable, a return device and a buoy or a weight.

    Abstract: A flowline for hydrocarbon which is capable of being reeled and which is unreeled for being laid on the seabed using the reeled lay method is comprised of successive pipe sections having opposing ends which are joined by an anchor collar that is butt welded to the opposing ends. The pipe sections have a jacket on the exterior of the pipe sections, but the pipe sections are able to be reeled. Anchor collars are affixed by butt welding between the ends of adjacent pipe sections. Each anchor collar has a fixture or protrusion radially outward which has an outer diameter less than or at least not more than the outer diameter of the pipe section jacket. The flowline has the same inner diameter at the pipe sections and the collar, and the pipe has the same outer diameter as the collar, while the protrusion protrudes outward from the exterior of the collar. The flowline is anchored on the seabed by unreeling it from a spool, applying a clamp to the collar before delivering it to the seabed, and anchoring the clamp to the seabed. The jacket may expose the fixture or protrusion or may initially cover it and be removed to enable the clamping.

    Abstract: Gas Subsea Transmission System (GSTS) is a new method for transferring large quantities of natural gas between marine distances through the oceans. Its purpose is to provide a safer, faster and more financially advantageous alternative to gas transmission via LNG.The GSTS's main part is a Submersible Suspension Pressure-equaliser Pipeline (SSPP). It is a long pipe with a large diameter which has a high capacity of gas transmission. This pipe is kept submersible and suspended in deep waters by its special mooring system. It is made from steel pipe which is reinforced by internal concrete rings.The basic concept of SSPP is to cancel the internal pressure of the gas pipeline with the external hydrostatic water pressure by varying the pipe environment. These conditions lead to the possibility of a large diameter pipeline resulting in efficient, high capacity gas transmission. SSPP mooring system is able to change the pipe level to the right depth base on the changes in gas pressure and equalise the external and internal pressures.The GSTS has offshore stations that separate the SSPP into shorter segments. The pipe can be operated, maintained, installed and inspected from these points. During normal operation, these offshore stations are capable of staying submerged under water. This design feature means that they would be protected from adverse surface conditions.

    Abstract translation: 气体海底输送系统(GSTS)是通过海洋在海洋距离之间转移大量天然气的新方法。 其目的是通过LNG提供更安全,更快速,更经济有利的气体传输替代方案。 GSTS的主要部分是潜水悬挂压力均衡管道(SSPP)。 它是一个大直径的长管,具有高的气体传输能力。 该管通过其专门的系泊系统保持潜水和悬浮在深水中。 由钢管制成,内部混凝土环加固。 SSPP的基本概念是通过改变管道环境,通过外部静水压力消除气体管道的内部压力。 这些条件导致大直径管道的可能性,导致高效,高容量的气体传输。 SSPP系泊系统能够根据气体压力的变化将管道水平改变到正确的深度,平衡外部和内部压力。 GSTS拥有将SSPP分成较短部分的离岸站。 管道可以从这些点进行操作,维护,安装和检查。 在正常运行中,这些离岸站能够停留在水下。 这种设计特征意味着它们将受到不利的表面条件的保护。

    Abstract: The bracket comprises an upright tube and a cleat connected to one side of the tube. The cleat has a pair of horizontal, transversely extending horns protruding from the tube. In use, a pair of the brackets are pivotally mounted on the upper ends of the shafts of embedded screw piles bracketing a pipeline. A flexible tie-down strap, having loop ends, extends across the pipeline. The loop ends each releasably engage one of the brackets. Each loop end extends over the bracket tube and is trapped beneath the cleat, so as to bear against the side surface of the tube lower end. The loop end and bracket can readily be engaged or disengaged in the field.
