The 24 inch MEDGAZ high pressure deepwater pipeline runs for 210 km along the seabed of the Mediterranean Sea, transporting natural gas from the Beni Saf Compressor Station (BSCS) on the coast of Algeria to the Offshore Pressure Regulation Station (OPRT) at Almería on the coast of Spain and into the Enagas transportation network. The pipeline reaches a maximum depth of 2,155 m as it crosses the Mediterranean. This paper presents key aspects of the flow assurance studies carried out during the FEED and detailed engineering phases of the project with particular attention to the requirements for a deepwater natural gas pipeline. Moreover the particular requirements for deepwater pipeline commissioning and operation are discussed.
