The ability to transport produced hydrocarbons has always been an important factor in the successful development of an oil or natural gas field, both onshore and offshore. Historically, pipelines have been the most common means used to transport crude oil produced in the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).

This informative 1-hour interactive online course presents a general summary of pipeline information and issues in the Gulf of Mexico. The collected information is not intended as an in-depth review of pipeline activities and issues, but rather general information for decision-makers, regulatory agencies, and other interested parties. Descriptions of several pipe-laying methods as well as challenges of deepwater installations are discussed. This course also serves as a general reference for environmental assessments prepared on specific pipeline applications.
