Project Launched to Deploy Thermoplastic Composite Pipe Flowlines, Risers in Brazil's Pre-Salt Area
strategy.HPHTEarlier this year, Strohm secured a contract with Total and ExxonMobil for a qualification testing program for a high pressure, high-temperature Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP).The qualification project will create a foundation for further development of this TCP technology for riser applications.Under the agreement, Strohm will execute a qualification testing program for a TCP Jumper for permanent subsea application, for hydrocarbon service

Benefits of Composite Materials in Deepwater Risers
2H Offshore will present on the benefits of composite materials in deepwater risers at the MCE Deepwater Development Conference in London, U.K., on March 26, 2015. Hassan Saleh, Senior Engineer of 2H Offshore, will discuss the consideration of composite materials for use in riser applications. In most cases composite materials have been considered where a design requirement precluded the use of conventional solutions. 2H Offshore noted that composites offer a range of benefits in terms of mechanical performance, including high fatigue resistance, high strength and low weight.
