Abstract:

There is an urgent requirement for treating the harsh corrosive environment and special topography of the Shunbei Oilfield. The construction of ground gathering and transportation pipeline has to face a series of unfavorable factors such as the large dunes (drop > 10 m) and strong mobility (the period of sand storm > 1 month). A study on the force analysis and structural design of metal pipe bodies and joints was carried out in this work. A finite element analysis software was employed to analyze the pipes with different inner diameters under different external pressure loads. The effect of pipe materials on the deflection and stress of the pipes under different loads was calculated. The designed structures were compared to find an optimal result to meet the requirement of use. The results indicated that the reinforcement layer acted as a main pressure-bearing layer under an internal pressure load. The damage of reinforcement layer represented the failure of the pipeline. The wind load under an external pressure load exhibited little influence on the pipeline, and however the inertial load and sand dune movement generated a greater impact on the suspended pipeline. The feasibility of the pipeline connection can be judged by stress analysis.

Key words: desert environment, inertial load, wind load, sand dune movement, pipe connection
