Abstract: Deepwater subsea pipeline encounter many challenges, such as conveying hige temperature, high pressure and corrosion fluid, suffering complex geotechnical conditions and variable submarine topography and geomorphology characteristics, using expensive installation barge and equipement. According to subsea pipeline structural design in South China Sea and compared with rigid pipeline, details the advantages and disadvantages of flexible pipe in subsea pipeline design, installation and maintenance, and this will be contribute to the material selection of deepwater subsea pipeline.
