To reduce the risks to arctic pipelines from natural or geologic hazards, a more sophisticated approach to routing compared to traditional methods based on only the shortest length of pipe or connectivity to existing infrastructure is needed.

As the design methodologies evolve for arctic pipelines, strudel scour, permafrost thaw settlement, and ice gouging need to be factored in with environmental and geotechnical data, limit states, and trenching and backfilling activities.

New approaches to arctic activities include a concept for an offshore ice-resistant LNG export terminal, the design of subsea pipelines, and the optimal routing for the pipelines to mitigate the unique risks in arctic regions such as ice-gouging and permafrost thaw.

Subsea Technologies' 2-in. hydraulically retractable subsea coupler is designed to optimize the engagement and disengagement of control line and large-bore fluid-containing lines in large subsea mechanical connectors. The coupler allows for greater flexibility in designing remote emergency release systems for subsea applications and enables people to be removed from s…
