Several accidents involving subsea pipelines have happened in Brazil as the pipeline PCR-01 / Lubnor and the P-55 platform 2.3 km in the Roncador field in the Campos Basin. These accidents occur in many cases due to buckling, fatigue, the intense corrosive process, design deficiency, lack of maintenance. The submarine pipelines represent a high percentage in the total cost of an oil extraction unit. Its importance becomes vital for the extraction of oil in Brazilian waters. Its structural design is an activity that can be divided into several steps that must be followed strictly to ensure its conformity with national and international standards operation in one of the harshest scenes of nature: the seabed. In this situation, the product is subject to extreme loads, both static and dynamic. For this reason, it consists of a complex layer structure. The objective of this study is the evaluation of the operating conditions of submarine pipelines subject to the action of waves and currents. A parametric study of finite element is performed to understand the influence of the boundary conditions, different span lengths of submarine pipeline and variations of soil type on the dynamic response of submarine pipeline. It is also developed an analytical solution to the problem. The numerical solutions, analytical and standard recommendations are compared and conclusions drawn on the main factors to be considered by the engineers involved in the construction of such structures.
