Oil pipeline

Oil pipeline

Oil pipeline

(OP)
I have been asked to perform an independent (out of discipline) review of the design of pipeline(s) used for the onshore transport of #6 and #2 oil.  Although there will be experienced engineers responsible for the detailed review, and my review is intended to be more of an engineering common-sense look at the design.  I would like to learn more about the subject, and what is typically included in the design.  Anyone have an idea of a good source?

Thanks!

RE: Oil pipeline

Are you talking about the hydraulic design or the regulatory requirements for safety and MAOP?  I would suggest "The Pipeline Rules of Thumb Handbook" by Gulf Publishing for the former and 49 CFR 195/ASME B31.4 for the latter.    

RE: Oil pipeline

Hello,

You will find a lot of help in "Pipeline Rules of Thumb Handbook" if you need hands on information that are usefull in the field but that wont really help you for a design review.

I would suggest you went thru ASME31.4 for standard pipeline sizing routines.

RE: Oil pipeline

For hydraulic design, the classic text is "Hydraulics for Pipelines" (? title) by C.B. Lester.  It is an old text but still good.

Also, a general book is "Oil and Gas Pipeline Fundamentals" by John L Kennedy sold through PennWell.
