8

Minimum yield strength of pipe steel

450 MPa

9

Maximum Allowable Incidental Pressure

20.8 MPag

10

Design Capacity

730 MMscf/d

11

Maximum Design Temperature

60⁰C

12

Minimum Design Temperature

0⁰C

13

Characteristics of substance proposed to be conveyed

Dehydrated natural gas

14

General plans and descriptions of pump stations, tank stations or valve stations and their equipment

N/A

15

General plans and description of pigging facilities

The pipeline is designed to enable operational inspection pigging to be performed if required based on a risk-based inspection regime.

 

The riser base manifold is equipped with a full bore connection point, isolated by two 26-inch valves, to facilitate the installation and removal of a subsea pig launcher by diverless means.

 

The riser base manifold, spools, pipeline and tie-in to the existing Bayu-Undan pipeline are designed to facilitate through pigging to the onshore pig receipt facilities at DLNG.

16

Cathodic Protection

Aluminium-Zinc-Indium Anodes DNVGL-RP-F103

 

Typically spaced at 1 anode every 8 pipe joints.

17

Hydrate Management

Hydrate management in the gas export pipeline is not required as the pipeline is classified as a dry gas pipeline.

 

3.      The NT/PL5 Pipeline Route Map at Annexure A is deleted and replaced with the map at Attachment 1.
