    This document discusses key factors in determining the diameter of pipes for oil and gas pipelines. The pipe diameter is sized based on assessing the pressure and temperature loss for the design flow rate over the pipeline length while balancing with available pressure. The diameter is usually selected according to API 5L standards considering cost and availability of the pipes. The diameter also influences the installation method, with reel laying generally used for smaller diameters up to 12" and S-lay or J-lay techniques required for larger diameters.

    Introduction – Flow Assurance

    • Pipe diameter determined by


    o Assessing pressure (and temperature) loss for the design
    flowrate
    o Pipeline length
    o Balance with available pressure
    • Pipe diameter usually sized to API 5L
    o Cost
    o Procurement (availability)
    • Pipe diameter will influence installation method
    o Reeling/plastic bending, e.g.
     Up to 12” – Reel lay
     Some vessels can install up to 16” and 18”
    o Larger diameter -S-lay or J-lay
