Offshore pipelines are used to transfer oil or gas from offshore platforms to onshore terminals. They are similar to onshore pipelines but are usually concrete coated for protection and stability. Offshore pipelines are used to transfer oil or gas from production platforms to shore, from smaller offshore platforms to larger platforms connected to shore, and from subsea wells to production platforms.

Why Why Why
1. To transfer oil or gas from an offshore
platform to a shore terminal 2. To transfer oil from a smaller offshore platform to a platform that has an existing pipeline to shore 3. To transfer oil from a producing sub-sea wellhead to a production platform Drilling and Production Platform What is an Offshore Pipeline? 1. Very similar to an onshore pipeline 2. Normally laid straight or with a large radius bend (Typically 2.0km minimum radius) 3. Usually concrete coated for protection and stability purposes 4. Cathodic Protection is by sacrificial anodes 5. No ROW or stringing Pipe stringing on the Beach
