1 Introduction
Dubai Petroleum Establishment is planning to replace existing pipelines and also install new pipelines in
the Fateh and South West Fateh Fields as part of the 2014 Pipelay Campaign. The 2014 Pipelay Campaign
covers the following base scope and optional scope pipelines.
Base Scope Pipelines:
New 24 production line with an approximate length of 2.1 km from platform I to ZB in Fateh field
New 12 water injection line with an approximate length of 2.3 km from platform LL to CC in SWF
field
New 12 water injection line with an approximate length of 2.5 km from platform KK to FF in SWF
field
Replacement of existing 12 water injection line with an approximate length of 12.7 km from
platform HH to FA in SWF field
Replacement of existing 12 water injection line with an approximate length of 0.9 km from
platform II to GG in SWF field
Existing risers at platforms HH and FA will not be replaced. Subsea tie-in to the existing risers will be
performed by using smart flanges.
Replacement of Optional Scope Pipelines:
Existing 14 water injection line with an approximate length of 0.7 km from platform U to ZA in
Fateh field
Existing 20 water injection line with an approximate length of 3.5 km from platform WF-1 to M in
Fateh field
Existing 14 water injection line with an approximate length of 2.9 km from platform WF-1 to U in
Fateh field
Existing 18 water injection line with an approximate length of 3.3 km from platform WF-1 to ZC in
Fateh field
Existing 14inch risers at platforms U, ZA and WF-1 will not be replaced. Also existing 20inch risers at
platforms WF-1 and M will not be replaced.
1.1 Scope of Work

4 Design Data
4.1 Pipeline Data
The pipeline design and operation data, pipeline material properties, design temperature profile and design
pressure profiles are presented in Section 3 of [6].
4.2 Anode Data
The anode is Half Shell Bracelet Type made of Aluminium, Zinc and Indium Alloy.
4.3 Environment Data
The environmental data including sea water properties, water depth, tide, sea water temperature, wave and
current data is presented in Section 4.1 to 4.7 of [6].



5 Pipeline Cathodic Protection Design Methodology
The size and the dimension of anodes will be determined by the cathodic protection design.The cathodic
protection design consists of calculating anodes spacing, as function of anode length, required to satisfy
mean current requirement based on mass consumption rate and final current requirements based on current
output of the consumed anode. The mean and final current demands are checked to ensure that the anodes
can provide sufficient current output to polarize the pipeline throughout its entire life.
The pipeline cathodic protection will be carried out using MathCAD. The key of the analysis are as
following:
Current Demand Analysis for Mean and Final Life (Section 5.1)
Anode Net Mass Analysis (Section 5.2)
Anode Current Output Analysis based on Ohms law (Section 5.3)
5.1 Current Demands
In order to determine the mass of anode required for the cathodic protection system, it is necessary to
calculate the current demand to achieve polarization during the design life of the system as follows:
c c c c
f i A I
where:
I
c
is the current demand for a specific surface area (mean I
cm
, final I
cf
), A
A
c
is the cathode surface area, m
2

i
c
is the design current density (mean i
cm
, final i
cf
), A/m
2

f
c
is the coating breakdown factor (mean, final)
a, b is the constant values depend on coating properties and the environment
t is the coating life time, min



5.2 Anode Net Mass
The total mass of anode required to maintain cathodic protection for the design life can be calculated as
follows:

u
t I
M
f cm
a
8760

where:
M
a
is the total net anode mass required, kg
I
cm
is the mean current demand, A/m
2

t
f
is the design life, yr
u is the anode utilization factor, 0.8 for bracelet anode
is the electrochemical capacity, A-hr/kg
The total net anode mass provided must be more than or equal to that required for cathodic protection to be
sustained throughout the design life.
5.3 Anode Current Output
The individual anode current output, required to meet the current demand, is calculated from Ohms law.

where:
I

is the final current demand, A

af
is the final anode current output, A
N is the number of anodes required
E

is the design closed circuit potential of the anode, V
E
a
o
is the design protective potential, V
R
af
is the final anode resistance, Ohm

A
final
is the final anode exposed surface area, m
2

The final anode resistance is determined from the initial anode dimensions by assuming that the anode is
consumed to its utilization factor, which would give a final exposed surface area and corresponding anode
resistance.



The following will be applied in defining anode spacing :
Anode production constraints dictate that the half-shell bracelet length should not be longer than
1000 mm. above this value, difficulties of excessive alloy cooling during casting occurs.
For very thin anodes (thickness lower than 50 mm), this length shall be reduced to about 600 mm.
The anode thickness of all pipelines in base and optional scope is 40mm.
Anodes shorter than 200 mm present difficulties in core design.
The maximum anode spacing shall be 4 joints for 8 and less diameter pipelines as well as 6 joints
for greater than 8 diameter pipelines as per DP-PL-1
Anode spacing should not be too short to avoid excessive anode fittings and particular anode fitted
pipe handling precautions.
No anodes shall be placed on risers, anode designed to protect the riser shall be installed at the
spool piece/ pipeline after the last riser bend.
