Introduction
Excessive frost heave or settlements are major design and operational issues for hydrocarbon pipelines in permafrost regions. A chilled gas pipeline may lead to frost heave, while a warm oil pipeline may cause degradation of the permafrost resulting in excessive settlement. This example illustrates how TEMP/W can be used to model the changing thermal regime from a pipeline. The TEMP/W results are benchmarked against results published by Coutts and Konrad (1994).
