- FEED design of an onshore Sulphur Transportation System, in the UAE. The system consists of a series of insulated PIP pipelines (adding up to a total of over 800km), in which molten sulphur is transported on the inner pipe. In the annulus of the PIP system, superheated water is circulated to maintain the sulphur temperature within the range at which it can be transported in liquid format, i.e. between 125° and 150°C. The design also includes single, insulated water return pipelines to circulate the superheated water.

- 2008
- The Jasmine Field (nominally HPHT) is a rich gas condensate field located approximately 9km west of the existing Judy platform in ConocoPhillips J-Block operating unit.
- Key is experience of scour and fishing in the area and previous work on Jade pipeline project. KW provided CoP with some of the Pipeline Concept Engineering Services by considering different pipeline options (i.e. single insulated pipeline and pipe-in-pipe options) and insulation coatings.
- Different pipeline configuration options were considered such as cooling spools with pipeline trenching and backfilling, shallow burial with intermediate spools and surface snake lay option.
- The vulnerability of different pipeline options to upheaval buckling and lateral buckling were all assessed.
