ABSTRACT In recent years, pipeline is widely used in the transport of oil and gas in the global with the development of the offshore engineering. The oil and gas through the pipeline need to achieve high temperature and high pressure (HP-HT) in order to prevent the paraffin from plugging the pipeline. Otherwise, the pipeline buckling and breaking will cause serious environmental pollution and economic losses. At present, a lot of offshore pipeline can’t be directly observed in reason that they are on deep seabed. Therefore, it has important theoretical significance and practical value to establish a set of perfect numerical simulation method. In this paper, firstly, numerical simulation methods of subsea pipeline global buckling were described by using ABAQUS software. This paper also presents a novel method to introduce the initial imperfection of the pipeline into the FE model in the global buckling analysis innovatively. It summarized four typical finite element analysis (FEA) methods. The analyzing results from the four typical FEA were then compared with analytical solutions. Secondly, this paper analyses the influencing factors in global buckling through a case of engineering while the rule of each factors parameters selection are analyzed in its reasonable value through the finite element calculation. At last, three questions of numerical simulation of seabed pipeline global buckling were discussed separately. Studies show that it has significant differences between different simulation methods of pipeline buckling analysis. The reason is 3D analysis model considering the process of pipeline embedding in seabed and the effect of pipeline deformation velocity. Submarine pipeline global buckling is affected by many factors; some factors are significant such as temperature load, diameter of pipeline, wall thickness of pipeline and so on. The model boundary selection with strong ties to the calculation length will change along with the calculation length. The
