Subsea engineering handbook

"Combined, the two authors have had long careers with major international firms and with academic institutions in the US, Japan, and Norway. They have prepared this book for aspiring subsea engineers, a discipline described in the preface as involving the "design, analysis, construction, installation and integrity management of subsea wellheads, trees, manifolds, jumpers PLETS and PLEMs...." Coverage is logically organized, beginning with subsea production systems (field development, distribution, surveying, positioning, and foundation, cost estimation, power supply, and risk & reliability, among other topics). Subsequent coverage includes flow assurance and system engineering, structures and equipment, and umbilical, risers & flowlines. With the Gulf oil spill, the world saw the consequences of poor engineering and management, this text is important for the thorough education of future practitioners."--Book News, Reference & Research

Offshore production systems have been growing much larger, more complex and more demanding in terms of reliability, especially in evolving markets where infrastructure is lacking. A crucial information source for the selection and planning to design, construction, installation of subsea structures, this book is based on the authors 30 years of experience in the design, analysis and instillation of offshore structures and covers the entire spectrum of subjects in the discipline, from route selection and planning to design, construction, installation, materials and corrosion, inspection, welding, repair, risk assessment, and applicable design solutions. It yields a roadmap not only for the subsea engineer but also the project managers, estimators and regulatory personnel hoping to gain an appreciation of the overall issues and directed approaches to subsea engineering design solutions.
