The complex of jacket structures and flowlines subject to retrofitting consists of 5 jacket structures and 8 subsea flowlines. The arrangement of assets and dimensions used in this work is designed to mimic the challenges posed by real complex scenarios. The complex has three central structures bridge linked (J1, J2 and J3) and two distant structures (J4 and J5) connected to J1 through underwater flowlines.

A great number of offshore marine structures such as jacket platforms, monopiles, FPSOs and subsea pipelines are reaching the original design life and several alternatives for retrofitting are available to extend their service life. These can include impressed current or sacrificial anodes.


Among other parameters, the design should consider the current state of the structures using data from recent field survey and the possible interactions of the retrofit anodes with the existing structures. In complex scenarios, the main challenge to obtain a cost-effective solution is to minimise the number of retrofit anodes whilst mitigating possible interactions with other structures to achieve protection of the asset while avoiding overprotection. Computational modelling can assist in optimising not only the location and number of anodes, but also avoiding over-protection and considering additional aspects like interactions and changes in the polarisation status of the structures for example.


This paper illustrates the optimisation of a retrofit design with the aim of extending the service life of a system of jacket structures and submerged pipelines using ICCP remote anode, contemplating strategies to overcome the screening effect caused by big number of conductors present in the jacket structures.

Following the worlds growing need for sustainable energy solutions, offshore wind farms are important contributions to the generation of renewable energy. One key element for a profitable and sustainable operation of offshore wind farms is that the installations are protected with the most cost-effective corrosion protective solution for the entire lifetime. In practice, this means that today’s projects are planned with an estimated lifetime of a minimum of 25 years without major maintenance of the corrosion protective solution.

Requirements for corrosion protection for new large offshore wind farms are extended to 25 years’ maintenance-free service lifetime. Therefore, ISO 12944 is being updated. To bring down construction cost for offshore wind, initiatives have been taken to industrialize the coating application process and use standard components.
