titleOfInvention | Method for preventing thaw settlement along offshore arctic pipelines |
abstract | ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for installing a pipeline for transporting a warm fluid, such as newly-produced oil, across arctic seafloor underlain by a permafrost zone without danger of rupture of the pipeline caused by thawing in the supporting permafrost zone comprises (1) drilling a series of boreholes along the seafloor through a thawed zone of subsea soil so as to penetrate a distance into a zone of permafrost lying thereunder, (2) circulating a warm fluid through each borehole so as to cause a zone of prethawing in the permafrost zone and thereby create a slump trough on the surface of the seafloor along a path marked by the series of boreholes; and (3) installing a warm fluid bearing pipeline along the bottom of the slump trough. Usually a temperature differential between the warm fluid and the bottom of the borehole of at least 2 degrees Fahrenheit is required to assure economical prethawing of the permafrost zone. |
