Background
Pipe
Pipeline embedment into the seabed may affect the integrity of production systems
Partial burial of offshore pipelines may be caused by seabed mobility, sediment flow, trench collapse, cyclic pipe motions under wave action, lateral buckling, etc.
Seabed
![Page 3: Otc 23033 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050722/55a2c1371a28ab093f8b47bc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Reduced heat loss from high temperature fluids• Hotter temperature profiles for longer Uncontrolled pipeline lateral buckling
• Under design of cooling spoolsAccelerated degradation of external coatingsTop of line corrosion in wet gas pipelines
Reduced heat gain from seawater in gas transport• Excessive Joule‐Thomson cooling Condensate and water drop‐out, corrosion, hydrate formation, frost heaving

ConclusionsAn OHTC accuracy of 10% or less relative to CFD can be achieved with analytical formulae for a comprehensive range of:
• Offshore pipeline systems
• Soil thermal conductivities
• Burial depths
![Page 22: Otc 23033 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050722/55a2c1371a28ab093f8b47bc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Conclusions
• Explicit, continuous formulae can be used for quickly generating profiles of overall heat transfer coefficient (OHTC) along partially and fully buried pipelines
• The effect of input data uncertainties on steady‐state pipeline heat transfer can easily be assessed for any amount of burial

CFD Model Setup (Frazer‐Nash)
• Domain extends ~ 20 Dext in all directions for all cases
• SST k‐ω turbulence model
• Roughness = 10mm (seabed), 2.5 μm (TLPP), 250 μm (CWC)

Boundary Layer Velocity Profiles
• Inflow profiles are based on the Atmospheric Boundary Layer theory, modified for application at the seabed
• Fitted to measured sea current velocities (2.6 m above the seabed)
