Abstract

When offshore oil field has been completed and put into production, the new subsea pipelines and cable will need to be established. Cable protection pipe clamp is used to fix cable protection pipe on the jacket. In order to avoid the problem of traditional steel structure clamps which was difficult to joint, align and fasten when it installed cable protection pipe underwater, reduce the risk and workload underwater, This paper will study a new type of portable connecting riser clamp made of resin matrix composites which can solve the installation problem which is difficult to install cable protection pipes underwater. The main structure of pipe clamps made of resin matrix composites used three divided-plates type of structure. The load characteristic of clamps was determined by Morison equation which is a classical theory and clamps underwater mechanics analysis model was established. The results show that the strength of the base of clamps meet the requirements after strength analysis with finite element analysis method, stability and strength experiments, which means the clamps made of resin matrix composite is feasible.
