Abstract: There is provided a method of interconnecting a conduit and a plurality of subsea structures. The method comprises providing a first manifold header in-line of the conduit, where the first manifold header has at least one valve installed therein. A portion of the conduit is lowered to the sea bed such that the first manifold header is engaged with a first subsea structure, and a further portion of the conduit is lowered to the sea bed. A second manifold header, having at least one valve installed therein, is provided in-line of the conduit and engaged with a second subsea structure. The length of conduit provided on the sea bed between the first subsea structure and the second subsea structure is significantly greater than the distance between the first and second subsea structures.

Abstract: A pipeline comprising an outer steel pipe and an internal corrosion resistant covering adhesively joined to the inside of the steel pipe. The pipeline can be taken up onto a drum and later unwound and laid out without any observed deformation of the metal covering. A method for the manufacturing of the pipeline comprises the steps of applying an adhesive onto the outside of the metal covering and optionally also onto the inside of the steel pipe, inserting the metal covering into the pipe and expanding the covering until being in a good contact with the inside of the steel pipe, and curing the adhesive to make the metal covering adhere tightly to the inside of the steel pipe.

Abstract: An elongated object for use in subsea having a heating pipe and an electrical cable fixed to the surface of the heating pipe. The electrical cable has a protective sleeving for surrounding the electrical cable, composed of a series of elongated synthetic plastics components arranged end-to-end. Each component is an extruded frame work type hollow profile suitable for slowing down the impact over a long deformation path. A hollow space is disposed between the electrical cable and the protective sleeving allowing the cable to move into the protective sleeving.
