Technical feasibility assessment for hydrogen transport through existing offshore gas pipelines in the Dutch sector

In the last century, the offshore industry has installed a network of offshore pipelines in the southern North Sea. Due to decreasing oil and gas extraction in the North Sea, many pipelines of this network are becoming redundant. A potential option for the reuse of these pipelines is the transport and storage of gaseous hydrogen, which is...

Significance of Active Tension Compensation during S-lay Pipeline Installation

During S-lay pipeline installation, tension fluctuations in the suspended pipeline are compensated by the tensioner system on the vessel. The goal of this thesis is to answer the questions: to what extent does the active tension compensation (ATC) influence the pipeline integrity during offshore installation. Secondly, which tensioner model...
