“…Pipeline pigging is a standard industrial process, during which a conventional pipeline inspection gauges (PIG) would be used to remove the debris away from the inner pipewell. [6][7][8][9] But, as the SCR would float forced by the external and internal loads, the PIG might be stuck in the SCR. Thus, in order to ensure safety, one of most advanced approaches is to tie the PIG onto a coiled tubing (CT) and inject it into the SCR to proceed pigging operation.…”

Coiled tubing can be used for steel catenary riser pigging operations to remove wax and other debris attached on the interior of steel catenary riser to recover production and ensure safety. Due to its low rigidity, coiled tubing would deform which might finally damage coiled tubing and steel catenary riser. Thus, in order to ensure safety and reliability of the operation, this article proceeded experimental study on the axial load transfer behavior of a coiled tubing stuck in a steel catenary riser when the coiled tubing has not yet helical buckled. According to the experimental results, the inner pipe's axial force transfer efficiency is always less than 1; the outer pipe of ''unfixed steel catenary riser boundary'' would elongate forced by the inner pipe within it, which makes the injected displacement of inner pipe within outer pipe of ''unfixed steel catenary riser boundary'' bigger than the injected displacement of inner pipe within outer pipe of ''fixed steel catenary riser boundary'' system at the same force-out; before the inner pipe helical buckles, inner pipe's force transfer efficiency for unfixed and fixed system can be considered as the same. The research done above might provide important theoretical supports for the steel catenary riser pigging operation.

“…Pipeline pigging is a standard industrial process, during which a conventional pipeline inspection gauge (PIG) would be used to remove the wax debris from the inner pipewell. There are lots of experimental and theoretical effort directed toward exploring pigging motion and PIG devices, for example, O'Donoghue, 1 Azevedo and colleagues, [2][3][4] Jonathan, 5 Botros and Golshan, 6 Nguyen and colleagues, [7][8][9][10] Tolmasquim and Nieckele, 11 Podgorbunskikh et al, [12][13][14][15] Tan et al [16][17][18] and Wang and colleagues. [19][20][21] But as the riser is in a complex environment, it would float forced by the marine loads.…”

After years of using, the marine riser would need pigging operation to remove wax and other debris attached to its interior to recover production. Due to its low stiffness, coiled tubing would buckle when performing the marine riser pigging operation, which would make the injecting force not able to completely transfer into its end and finally damage coiled tubing and riser. Thus, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the operation, this article reports an experimental study on this topic by building an indoor pipe-in-pipe platform. According to the experimental results, the inner pipe's axial force transfer efficiency is always less than 1. When injecting force is less than the inner pipe's critical helical buckling load, the inner pipe's axial load transfer efficiency is basically the same under ''unfixed boundary'' and ''fixed boundary'' at the same force-out. When injecting force is bigger than the inner pipe's critical helical buckling load, ''unfixed boundary'' would help decrease the inner pipe's axial load transfer efficiency; when the injecting force is three times the critical helical buckling load, the inner pipe's axial load transfer efficiency of ''unfixed boundary'' can be 3% smaller than that of ''fixed boundary.'' As the outer pipe of ''unfixed boundary'' would elongate, its axial load transfer would be ''delay'' compared with ''fixed boundary,'' which means injected displacement of ''unfixed boundary'' inner pipe would be bigger than those of ''fixed boundary'' at the same force-out. The research done above might provide important theoretical supports for the marine riser pigging operation.
