The Colossal Gas Pipe Laid At The Bottom Of The Ocean | Megastructures | Spark

By two thousand and eight, Norway will be connected to the United Kingdom via a 1200 km super pipeline-the longest subsea pipeline in the world. But this connection is only a part of an enormous plan to tap into Norway’s second largest gas deposit, capable of providing 20% of the UK’s gas needs for decades to come. Located 3 km below the ocean’s surface, and 120 km offshore, the deposit is beyond the reach of humans and all of the construction has to be completed by robots working against strong underwater currents, sub-zero temperatures and extreme wind and wave conditions. When tapped, the gas will be transported to one of the largest automated gas processing plants to prepare it for shipment to the U.K. Each phase will put ingenuity and engineering to the ultimate test.

What is really scary is if you tell most people plastics are made from oil, or petrochemicals, they will disbelieve you. Some will adamantly proclaim they are not made from oil. Many people believed the US went to war in Iraq because of...something other than the fact that Iraq has the world's fifth-largest proven oil reserves..what's even scarier is that people don't understand that the electricity in their phones, electric cars, etc, comes from fossil fuels. They just think the energy comes from "somewhere", and we have to shut all these power plants down.

Environmentalists also always ignore the facts that these so called clean sources have many environmental problems inherent in their own production of energy and the creation of the infrastructure required. A few examples are the raping of rainforests and land, etc., to get the lithium, nickel, cobalt, and other elements required and also, the tremendous cost of producing steel windmills and the silicon and the costly infrastructure required for sunlight energy. Also, consider, windmills and sun energy infrastructure, which cannot be recycled, last but just a few decades.

A superb documentary! One question - what happens when the path of the pipeline crosses the path an undersea communication cable? Does the comms cable get cut then relaid over the buried gas pipeline?

[@OhZjuchi]

Why would it be cut and there wouldn't be any Ethernet cables running where they're working

[@larrywhited3070]

New pipelines often cross over communication cables and other pipelines. When any kind of line is first laid, it is buried to obtain protective cover. Different locations have different requirements, and once you exceed certain depths then initial bury is generally no longer required. When a new line is laid over buried lines, protective mats or other provisions are installed first to maintain acceptable separation. When a new line is later laid over existing lines that are not buried (as in deeper water), then again protective mats or other provisions are laid over the existing lines first. If the installation also requires "bridging supports" to keep the weight of the new pipeline from compromising the existing line, then this extra bridging (generally multiple layers of 8' X 20' mats stacked as high as necessary) is installed prior to pipe lay on either side of the targeted crossing as per engineering requirements. Direct contact of a new line with an existing line is not acceptable. When the new line is laid, then the surveyors ensure the crossing is accomplished where intended. ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) obtain final survey readings to confirm accuracy and adequate protection.

Agreed! And that time period, up to 40 years isn’t very long, still a limited resource showing how desperate they are to take that kind of risk. The productivity time will actually be less than half as history shows.

It is not about being desperate. It is about money. The UK wants to buy gas. This company provides the gas. It doesn't matter how hard or expensive it is to get the gas, if they can make a profit. Pretty simple economics.
