Good pipeline design is key to ensure smooth production through the entire field lifecycle. Our teams also take into account the different phases of pipeline engineering, construction and maintenance to optimize their design, not to forget environmental considerations [keywords: Pipeline sizing, Wall thickness selection, Material selection, Thermal design, Route selection, On-bottom stability, Allowable spans determination, Expansion and buckling analysis, Pipeline protection design]

NRG Engineering has also provided trainings in Pipeline Design to leading Oil and Gas companies in the Asia Pacific region.  

NRG Engineering consultants and in-house design teams have knowledge and experience in the most relevant pipeline design codes [DNV OS F101, DNV 1981, ASME B31.4, ASME B31.8, ASME B31.3, DNV RP 8401, DNV RP E305, API RP 1111, etc ...] in combination with most compatible modern software [OFFPIPE, CAESAR II, AUTOPIPE, SAP, STAAD, etc ...]

Regarding Flow Assurance, NRG Engineering is currently in the starting process of developing an up-to-date tool able to take into account flow assurance issues, and link them to pipeline design for a better optimization of the whole supply chain.
