Airborne TCP for Total Deepwater Jumper Spool Application
Airborne Oil & Gas is granted a project to qualify Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) for a deepwater jumper spool application for French operator Total.
The non-corrosive and spoolable TCP is Airborne Oil & Gas’ answer to today’s industry call for cost-effective solutions to deal with corrosive fluid conditions and deep-water environments. TCP flowlines, jumpers and risers are flexible, corrosion free, light weight and have high strength, thus enabling a significant reduction in total installed cost. For the deep-water spool application, the TCP offers the possibility to save time and cost due to the inherent flexibility of the product. TCP allows installation without the high-precision subsea metrology necessary for rigid steel spools.
The project includes the manufacturing and qualification testing of full-scale (six inch ID) prototypes and is planned to deliver qualification to DNVGL standard RP-F119 in Q1-2017.
