They are used to connect platforms, single points and onshore oil depots. After the submarine pipelines are put into operation, they are not restricted by water depth and terrain conditions, and can continuously transport oil and gas with high efficiency. The technical conditions for the use of submarine pipelines are the same as those on land. Due to the difficulty in repair, the properties of crude oil should be considered during the design, and the direction, specifications and structure of the pipeline should be reasonably selected according to the weather, sea conditions, terrain, geology and other information around the pipeline to ensure safe use.
