THE CONCEPT OF A VESSEL FOR MONITORING OF SUBSEA PIPELINES AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

Article language: English

Annotation

Although underwater pipelines are considered a safe and cheap way to deliver oil and gas, however, they carry a great potential risk to the environment due to the properties of the cargo being transported. To reduce this risk, as well as the risk of financial losses in case of accidents, regular inspection of pipelines is necessary. Most often, such an examination is carried out either by “intelligent pistons” inside the pipeline, or by specialized vessels and underwater vehicles. The article presents the design of the vessel together with its equipment, as well as the concept of using this vessel for monitoring both the underwater pipeline itself and the environmental survey of the surrounding water area. In this case, environmental monitoring is important not only to protect the environment, but also to detect leaks in underwater pipelines. The designed vessel is planned to be equipped with scientific laboratories, helicopters, flying and underwater unmanned vehicles, as well as a diving complex. The vessel is capable of operating in different climatic conditions. The designed vessel, in addition to monitoring pipelines, can carry out scientific and research monitoring of the marine environment, help minimize damage to nature in case of massive oil release, and also participatein integrated monitoring during the development of offshore fields. Keywords: submarine pipelines, environmental monitoring, in-line diagnostics, uninhabited underwater vehicles, offshore protections
