Mitigate flowline buckling on the seabed

Flowline buckling mitigation buoyancy modules control pipeline movement on the seabed. Reducing buckling that often occurs during start-up and shutdown sequences as the thermal fluctuations cause pipelines to expand and contract, leading to problematic buckling along its length.

Benefits

Controlled pipeline movement

Flowline buckling mitigation buoyancy modules promote controlled flowline movement by adding buoyancy in discrete locations. This reduces compression forces, bending moments and shear forces, mitigating buckling while maintaining flowline integrity throughout thermal cycling and subsea operation.
