The Colossal Gas Pipe Laid At The Bottom Of The Ocean | Megastructures | Spark
By two thousand and eight, Norway will be connected to the United Kingdom via a 1200 km super pipeline-the longest subsea pipeline in the world. But this connection is only a part of an enormous plan to tap into Norway’s second largest gas deposit, capable of providing 20% of the UK’s gas needs for decades to come. Located 3 km below the ocean’s surface, and 120 km offshore, the deposit is beyond the reach of humans and all of the construction has to be completed by robots working against strong underwater currents, sub-zero temperatures and extreme wind and wave conditions. When tapped, the gas will be transported to one of the largest automated gas processing plants to prepare it for shipment to the U.K. Each phase will put ingenuity and engineering to the ultimate test.

All brought to you by the cheap, concentrated energy in fossil fuels. Industrial societies burnt about 25% of Earth's fossil fuels within 160 years of them being discovered. What is really scary is if you tell most people plastics are made from oil, or petrochemicals, they will disbelieve you. Some will adamantly proclaim they are not made from oil. Many people believed the US went to war in Iraq because of...something other than the fact that Iraq has the world's fifth-largest proven oil reserves..what's even scarier is that people don't understand that the electricity in their phones, electric cars, etc, comes from fossil fuels. They just think the energy comes from "somewhere", and we have to shut all these power plants down.

Indeed, change has come at an increasing pace. The majority of coral reefs are about 5,000 to 10,000 years old. However, the ancestors of these corals are probably older, dating back to 240 million years. They facilitate about 1/5 of the worlds protein. Yet most people could care less if they are failing. The industrial revolution was what? 200 years ago? And now robots and automation have put millions of people out of work. This year 140 million people will be born. The world's population has increased by more than 600 percent in 200 years. Its good to put time scales on these things.

@@walley2637 when will the environmental community realize that it is impossible to sustain our modern lifestyles and insatiable demand for energy without the substantial contribution by fossil fuels? Windmills, lithium batteries and energy provided by the sun, etc., will not provide that energy. Environmentalists also always ignore the facts that these so called clean sources have many environmental problems inherent in their own production of energy and the creation of the infrastructure required. A few examples are the raping of rainforests and land, etc., to get the lithium, nickel, cobalt, and other elements required and also, the tremendous cost of producing steel windmills and the silicon and the costly infrastructure required for sunlight energy. Also, consider, windmills and sun energy infrastructure, which cannot be recycled, last but just a few decades. Until then, natural gas, which by far will be the most plentiful and cleanest sources of energy available until the so called sustainable renewable energy source production problems are solved.

A superb documentary! One question - what happens when the path of the pipeline crosses the path an undersea communication cable? Does the comms cable get cut then relaid over the buried gas pipeline?
Why would it be cut and there wouldn't be any Ethernet cables running where they're working
New pipelines often cross over communication cables and other pipelines. When any kind of line is first laid, it is buried to obtain protective cover. Different locations have different requirements, and once you exceed certain depths then initial bury is generally no longer required. When a new line is laid over buried lines, protective mats or other provisions are installed first to maintain acceptable separation. When a new line is later laid over existing lines that are not buried (as in deeper water), then again protective mats or other provisions are laid over the existing lines first. If the installation also requires "bridging supports" to keep the weight of the new pipeline from compromising the existing line, then this extra bridging (generally multiple layers of 8' X 20' mats stacked as high as necessary) is installed prior to pipe lay on either side of the targeted crossing as per engineering requirements. Direct contact of a new line with an existing line is not acceptable. When the new line is laid, then the surveyors ensure the crossing is accomplished where intended. ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) obtain final survey readings to confirm accuracy and adequate protection.

Agreed! And that time period, up to 40 years isn’t very long, still a limited resource showing how desperate they are to take that kind of risk.
