The impact of flooding and well products degassing degree on hydraulic features of pipelines for gathering and transportation of oil-gas-water system from fixed platforms was researched. Considering the phase sliding and oil systems flooding degree the total pressure lost, as well as occurred due to the resistance forces and gravitation in various underwater pipeline, were defined. For operational analysis of hydraulic features of current pipelines for gathering and transportation of well products from offshore platforms, a method for calculation of oil-gas pipelines reliable for engineering calculations is offered.
