1.1 Introduction
It is proposed to develop X field via subsea wellhead and one pipeline to an existing
riser and a fixed platform. The riser has an internal diameter of 0.1m, a steel thickness
of 7.5 mm and no insulation. The horizontal pipeline has the same properties as for the
riser but with insulation. A common pipe roughness is assumed to be 0.028mm.
The maximum allowable pipeline inlet pressure is 80 bara. The minimum ambient
temperature can be assumed to be 6 oC. The ambient heat transfer coefficient, (from the
outside of the pipe structure to the surroundings), can be assumed to be 6.5 W/m 2/C for
the entire pipeline-riser system.
Maximum production rate: 15kg/s
Minimum production rate: 5 kg/s
Manifold outlet temperature is assumed to be 62 oC.
Minimum required arrival temperature at platform is 25 oC.

2.1 Introduction
Developing Y field with subsea to shore concept. The production has 0.05 mole% of
water to the total composition of the fluid. The pipeline has no insulation and a common
pipe roughness is assumed to be 0.028mm.
The ambient heat transfer coefficient, (from the outside of the pipe structure to the
surroundings), can be assumed to be 6.5 W/m 2/C for the entire pipeline-riser system.
The minimum ambient temperature can be assumed to be 6 oC.
Manifold outlet pressure is 100 bara.
Manifold outlet temperature is 80oC.
