Resumen

Sand waves are commonly formed on the sandy seabed of the continental shelf and characterized by their regular wave-like shape. When a submarine pipeline is laid on this type of seabed, it often experiences free spans due to the unevenness of the seabed. These free spans are particularly vulnerable to vortex-induced vibration (VIV) and the resulting fatigue damage, which have been identified as the primary causes of pipeline failures in offshore oil and gas exploration. This study examines the VIV and fatigue damage of free spans in a submarine pipeline in the Lufeng oilfield, which is located in a large area of sand waves. The assessment conditions encompass the as-laid empty state, the flooded state, and the operational state. Additionally, both the minimum and maximum lay tension are taken into account during the evaluation of VIV and fatigue. The VIV onset screening conducted revealed a considerable number of pipeline free spans exceeding the VIV onset span lengths under both temporary and operating conditions for the non-trench seabed. Furthermore, the analyses indicate that the pipeline does not meet the criteria for VIV fatigue on a non-trenched seabed. Consequently, a proposed solution of implementing a 1 m trench rectification measure for the seabed is recommended. The results demonstrate that this measure effectively mitigates the occurrence of VIV and subsequently reduces fatigue damage across all conditions.
