Abstract. As corrosion condition is an essential design consideration, reliability<br />

analysis is performed for offshore pipeline subjected to corrosion. Two design<br />

requirements namely B31G and Shell 92 are applied together with some corrosion<br />

loss models. Prior to performing the reliability analysis some corrosion models are<br />

reviewed and some selection process has been done to narrow down some models<br />

that are to be used further. A notable model is the one by Qin & Cui which can<br />

predict time varying rate of corrosion realistically. FORM reliability analysis is<br />

performed for pipeline having random design paramaters. The result provides<br />

interesting insight on how pipeline reliability index varies with time for different<br />

corrosion loss models. FORM reliability analysis allows to design pipeline subjected<br />

to corrosion for a given service period with known reliability level.<br />

Keywords: corrosion, design, FORM, offshore, pipeline, pressure, reliability.<br />
