Direct Electrical Heating (DEH) is a field-proven technology for hydrate and wax management of subsea production pipelines. DEH has been in use for nearly 20 years and is installed on approximately 30 pipelines/flowlines with length up to 43 km and on 1000 m depth, Studies indicate significant cost-...

This paper presents results from AC corrosion tests on cathodically protected steel flowlines. An important factor, which has an increased focus in the industry, is to understand AC corrosion and how it can be mitigated. Tests have been carried out at 100 and 200 Hz, where no current transfer design...
