Definitions
- Embodiments of the disclosure relate to the laying of pipeline onto the seabed.
- the pipeline is subjected to high temperatures and pressures and may significantly expand and contract longitudinally during operation. This expansion and contraction can result in axial compressive forces which may cause undesirable buckling at sections of the pipeline and may ultimately cause failure of the pipeline.
- One method of preventing or mitigating buckling is known as the residual curvature method, a version of which is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,910,830 for reel-lay vessels.
- a plastic bending strain is introduced to selected sections of the pipeline before the pipeline is laid on the seabed.
- the curved sections with residual stress/strain created by the plastic bending introduce bending imperfection, and thus increase the likelihood of buckling at the bending area compared to other pipeline sections with fewer imperfections.
- the introduction of residual stress/strain functions similarly to laying pipeline onto a vertical sleeper, but is significantly less expensive because it does not require the vertical sleeper's cost.
- curvature may be induced in a section of the pipeline by either adjusting the position of the rollers on the stinger or adjusting the configuration of the stinger itself (e.g., from a shallow water configuration to a deep water configuration and vice versa) while the pipeline is being laid.
- the selected section of the pipeline is at least partially underwater when bending using a stinger, it is difficult to monitor the section and ensure that the proper amount of strain is being introduced.
- this method is only possible if the stinger or the rollers are capable of being adjusted with the pipeline in place.
- a vessel for laying a pipeline on a seabed includes a bending apparatus disposed on a deck of the vessel for inducing a bending strain in a section of a pipeline.
- the vessel also includes a stinger coupled to an end of the vessel.
- An apparatus for inducing a bending strain in a section of a pipeline comprising: a first support; a first plurality of adjustable rollers coupled to the first support; a second support; a second plurality of adjustable rollers coupled to the second support, the second plurality of adjustable rollers opposing the first plurality of adjustable rollers; and one or more actuators configured to change a radius of curvature of the first plurality of adjustable rollers or the second plurality of adjustable rollers.
- a method for laying a pipeline on a seabed includes inducing a bending strain in a section of a pipeline using a bending apparatus. The method further includes feeding the section of the pipeline over a stinger, wherein the bending strain is induced in the section of the pipeline before the section of the pipeline reaches the stinger. The method further includes laying the section of the pipeline on a seabed.

- the present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for introducing residual curvature to sections of pipeline during S-lay, where the residual curvature is introduced on the lay vessel before the selected section reaches the stinger.
- the pipeline can be monitored during bending to ensure that the proper curvature is induced.
- introducing the curvature before the stinger allows residual curvature methods to be used on S-lay vessels where the stinger or stinger rollers are not adjustable while the pipeline is in place.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a vessel laying a pipeline using an S-lay technique, according to an embodiment described herein.
- a vessel or lay barge 100 is used to lay a pipeline 1 10 onto the seabed 180. Any suitable vessel capable of performing an S-lay technique may be used.
- the pipeline 1 10 has a diameter between about 4.5 inches and about 60 inches.
- the pipeline is passed through a plurality of optional roller apparatuses 102 and 103 and a bending apparatus 104 before passing over the stinger 120, which is coupled to an end of the vessel 100.
- the roller apparatuses 102, 103 may include guide rollers for facilitating guiding of the pipeline 1 10 through the bending apparatus.
- roller apparatuses 102, 103 may be replaced with a tensioner in yet another example, a tensioner is included between roller apparatuses 102, 103 and the bending apparatus 104.
- the stinger 120 is divided into sections 122, 124, and 126.
- a piuraiity of rollers 125 is disposed along the length of the stinger 120 for feeding the pipeline off the stern of the vessel 100.
- the bending apparatus 104 can be disposed anywhere on a deck of the vessel 100 through which the pipeline 1 10 passes before reaching the stinger 120, for example the bending apparatus 104 can be placed before, after, or in- between roller apparatuses 102 and 103. In one example, the bending apparatus is placed between a tensioner and the stinger 120. In one embodiment, the bending apparatus 104 is located at a pipeline welding station, or adjacent thereto, on the vessel 100. The bending apparatus 104 is used to induce a bending strain in a section 1 15 of the pipeline.
- the section 1 15 is approaching the bending apparatus 104 and has yet to have the bending strain induced in one embodiment, the bending apparatus is configured to induce a plastic bending strain of about 0.2% to about 1 %, such as about 0.2% to about 0.6%, or about 0.9% to about 0.5%, in the section 1 15.
- the bending apparatus 104 is a roller apparatus similar to roller apparatuses 102 and 103.
- the roller apparatuses 102, 103 are configured as guide rollers (for example, including one or more linear arrangements of rollers) which do not induce bending, while the bending apparatus is configured to induce bending to a section 1 15 of the pipeline 1 10.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of a bending apparatus 104 according to one embodiment.
- a piuraiity of rollers 131 , 132, 133, 134, and 135 are disposed in the bending apparatus 104.
- the rollers may be of any suitable diameter that provides the desired curvature.
- the rollers may be formed from any suitable material including metals and alloys, which may be coated to improve performance, such as with epoxy or other resinous coatings in one embodiment, one of these rollers, for example roller 133, is adjustable, meaning that the position of roller 133 can be altered as desired relative to the remaining roliers.
- Adjustable rollers, such as roller 133 may be coupled with an actuator 190 that is connected to an onboard computer in order to make adjustments as pipeline laying conditions change.
- one or more sensors may be configured to provide data to the onboard computer.
- the computer may facilitate movement of the position of one or more rollers.
- Data received by the onboard computer may include, for example, seabed topography.
- multiple rollers may be adjustable, and may likewise have positions controlled by a respective actuator 190 and an onboard computer. While five rollers 131 to 135 are shown in Figure 2, it is contemplated that any desirable number of rollers may be used and that any of the rollers 131 -135 may be adjustable. Likewise, it is contemplated that one or more actuators 190 may be utilized, such as that rollers 131 -135 are adjustable individually or in groups.
- the pipeline 1 10 is fed through the rollers 131 to 135.
- the pipeline section 1 15 into which a bending strain is to be induced passes through the roliers 131 to 135, one or more of the rollers 131 to 135 may be repositioned to induce a plastic bending strain into the section 1 15.
- rollers 131 , 132, 134, and 135 are fixed, and roller 133 is moved upward to create a plastic bending strain in the section 1 15, either while the pipeline 1 10 is being laid or while the pipeline 1 10 is static.
- the bending apparatus 104 is repositioned relative to the pipeline 1 10, such as by moving the bending apparatus 104 vertically relative to the deck of the vessel 100 (shown in Figure 1 ), to induce a plastic bending strain into the section 1 15.
- one or more rollers 131 -135 may remain fixed relative to the bending apparatus, while the bending apparatus is moved relative to the deck of the vessel 100
- Figure 3 illustrates a vessel laying a pipeline using an S-lay technique, according to an embodiment described herein. After passing through the bending apparatus 104, the section 1 15 (having a bend therein) passes over the stinger 120 before coming to rest on the seabed 180.
- the section 1 15 bends elastically as the section 1 15 passes over the stinger 120, but no additional plastic bending strain is applied by the stinger 120 or stinger rollers 125.
- Figure 3 shows the section 1 15 in between the stinger 120 and the seabed 180, retaining the residual curvature created by the bending strain induced by the bending apparatus 104.
- the section 1 15 has a length between about 10 meters (m) and about 100 m.
- the strain on the section 1 15 is reduced before the section 1 15 comes to lie on the seabed 180. For instance, for a section 1 15 with an initial plastic bending strain of about 0.5% created by the bending apparatus 104, the section 1 15 comes to rest on the seabed 180 with a residual bending strain of about 0.1 % to about 0.3%, such as about 0.2%.

- the bottom rollers have a convex shape and the top rollers a concave shape.
- the supports 159 and 160 may be vertically adjustable in relation to the deck of the vessel, for example, by actuators 194. For example, as supports 159 and 160 are lowered the rollers may be adjusted to form an arc in which the center of curvature is vertically above the rollers, and, alternatively, when the supports are raised the rollers may be adjusted to form an arc in which the center of curvature is vertically below the rollers. Additionally, the supports may be individually adjustable, for example, support 159 may be raised or lowered at a different rate than support 160, and support 159 may move in a direction opposite to that of 160. Actuation of the supports 159 and 160 may not only facilitate adjustment of curvature, but may also influence the force applied to section 1 15 of the pipeline 1 10.

- the section of the pipeline is monitored while the bending strain is being induced.
- the bending apparatus is adjusted to maintain the bending strain such that a desired curvature is achieved in the section of the pipeline.
- a second bending strain is induced in a subsequent section of the pipeline in a direction opposite to the direction of the first bending strain.
- the section of the pipeline is fed over a stinger
- the bending strain is induced in the section of the pipeline before the section of the pipeline reaches the stinger in one embodiment, the stinger is maintained in a fixed configuration while the section of the pipeline is fed over the stinger.
- the section of the pipeline is laid on a seabed. In one embodiment, the section of the pipeline is laid on the seabed with a residual strain of about 0.2%.
- the apparatus and methods described herein are believed to offer severai advantages.
- the pipeline can be monitored as the pipeline passes through the bending apparatus. If the amount of strain induced in a section of the pipeline is too high, the pipeline may buckle during bending. If the amount of strain induced is too low, the section may have insufficient residual curvature when the section is laid on the seabed. By monitoring the pipeline during bending, the amount of strain can be adjusted so that a desired curvature is achieved.
- a bending apparatus capable of bending in a vertical direction relative to a deck of the vessel enables the inducing of opposite residual curvatures in a section of the pipe, as shown, for instance, in Figure 5C. Inducement of opposite residual curvatures is normally difficult to achieve during S-lay. The ability to induce opposite residual curvatures allows for greater control of pipeline geometry in response to seabed topography, further reducing the possibility of undesirable buckling or pipeline failure.
