  • Long-Distance Pipelines
CONT

J-laying refers to a method whereby the pipeline is deployed downwards from a substantially vertical tower. As the pipeline is lowered it adopts a J shape between the vessel and the seabed. S-laying is the preferred procedure for most situations, since it allows for greater speed of construction due to the efficient and near continuous operation of the assembly line.

In 1977, following extensive public hearings in both countries, the Governments of Canada and the United States of America executed an "Agreement on Principles Applicable to a Northern Natural Gas Pipeline". This agreement provided a framework for the construction and operation of the Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System("ANGTS"), a pipeline megaproject intended to transport Alaskan and Northern Canadian natural gas to southern markets. In Canada, the project is also referred to as the Alaska Highway Gas Pipeline Project.

L'accord concernait la construction et l'exploitation du Réseau de transport de gaz naturel de l'Alaska (RTGNA), un mégaprojet qui doit assurer le transport du gaz de l'Alaska et du nord canadien vers les marchés situés au sud du Canada. Au Canada, le projet est appelé projet de construction du gazoduc de la route de l'Alaska.

The construction of the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline is one of the most promising projects carried out as part of the Maghreb-Europe partnership. This project is considered as a physical link between the Maghreb and Europe pending the fixed link between Tangiers and the Rock of Gibraltar. The Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline which was dedicated on November 8, 1996 will link the Hass R’mel field in Algeria with Cordoba, in Andalusia through Morocco. It will service in a first stage the Spanish, Portuguese and Moroccan markets, then the French and German ones with an expected increase by 2000. It will supply 1,500 million cubic meters of gas to Morocco.

In 1996 the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline, a huge transnational energy infrastructure, entered into operation, configuring a new route for natural gas from the Algerian gas fields to the European markets. The pipeline, of around 1, 400 km in length and 48 inches in diameter, connects the Hassi R’Mel deposits to the Spanish gas pipeline network in Cordoba. The gas pipeline is 48 inches in diameter in its 530 km course through Algeria, 540 km through Morocco and the 45 km stretch through the Straits of Gibraltar in which there are two lines of 22 inches in diameter each.
