Electrical heating of subsea flowlines represents an effective method to prevent wax and hydrate formations, especially at long transportation distances and in deep waters with a low seabed temperature. Such systems are available to be used in conjunction with bundles, pipe-in-pipe and wet thermal insulation systems, enabling an environmental friendly fluid temperature control without use of chemicals and flaring for pipeline depressurizing. Enhanced production availability is achieved as no time is lost by unnecessary de-pressurizing, pigging, heating medium circulation or removal of hydrate and wax blockages.
