Are we ready to construct submarine pipelines in the Arctic?
Submarine pipelines in Arctic seas have been under consideration for more than 25 years but few have been built. Technical difficulties include ice gouging and subgouge deformation, strudel scour, marine permafrost, and leak detection and repair. The objective of the full-length paper is to review the state of knowledge and to assess the readiness of the pipeline industry for Arctic pipeline development.
