Sommario/riassunto

"Written primarily for engineers and management personnel working on offshore and deepwater oil and gas pipelines, this book brings together



the authors' years of experience on a variety of pipeline projects. It offers cost-effective approaches for developing pipeline systems. By presenting principles, criteria, and data necessary to perform engineering analyses, the authors set forth guidelines that can be employed to optimize pipeline development projects."--Jacket.
