Abstract
This paper describes an ongoing research programme for modelling offshore pipeline failures using a technique known as ‘Discriminant Analysis’. Using data from the North Sea, this paper shows how this technique can be employed to forecast the likelihood of a pipeline failing and the probability of that occurrence. It is thought that this methodology has potential for more cost effective design and operation of pipelines taken singly and in networks throughout their life cycles.
