Design and installation of the offshore portion of Bahrein Petroleum Co.'s Khuff gas transmission and distribution networks (three 18-inch OD high-pressure natural gas lines) required careful planning and implementation to avoid damaging fisheries and migratory bird stops located in the shallow water environment and impending shipping through the commercial channel. The offshore segment links the wharf valve station at Sitra to the Hidd metering station, roughly 6 km away on the east side of Bahrein's Muharraq island. This article details problems related to the protection of the environment during construction and subsequent commiccioning of the pipelines. The article will also present construction methods used, including steps taken to maintain assess to Mina Salman port via the shipping channel and detail the design, construction, installation, and commissioning of these three 18-inch pipelines through shallow inshore waters and across the only shipping channel to the port of Mina Salman.
