Saipem, Curtiss-Wright Advance Tech Set to Extend Lifecyle of Subsea Fields
Saipem and Curtiss-Wright Corporation have reached a new milestone for the subsea applications industry, having completed the qualification process of an all-electric seabed barrier fluid-less pump.Developed based on proprietary solutions inherited from the nuclear sector, the technology will enable the subsea injection of treated sea water into a reservoir, thus extending the lifecycle of subsea fields.While the conventional pumping system features a barrier fluid which serves as coolant, lubricant and insulation, the technology developed by Saipem and Curtiss-Wright is based instead on an innovative
UK Mooring Specialist Enters Japanese Floating Wind Market
that floating wind will become a popular choice in Japan in the near future, with full-scale development of floating offshore wind power generation expected. In the meantime, in addition to the development of supply chains, it will be essential to acquire engineering capabilities for offshore and subsea applications.“The alliance with First Marine Solutions, which already provides mooring services for floating structures across the offshore energy sector, including floating offshore wind, is indispensable in providing the capabilities demanded by the Japanese offshore wind industry,” said
SMD Sells its First Electric ROV
be integrated into Jan De Nul Group’s new cable laying vessel, Fleeming Jenkin, and deployed to offshore energy projects globally.The new fully-electric ROV offers superior levels of stability, position-keeping, efficiency and reliability, for increased performance across a wide range of subsea applications, at a lower operational cost, says SMD.Jan Van de Velde, Director Newbuilding at Jan De Nul Group, said: “It is a pleasure to announce our continued collaboration with fellow innovator, SMD. Once built, the Fleeming Jenkin will be the world’s largest and cleanest cable-laying vessel
Partners Developing Underwater Single Photon Imaging System
capable of.“The possibilities that this ground-breaking technology will open up are breath-taking and we cannot wait to see it in action,” said Darryl Newborough, Technical Director, Sonardyne International Ltd.High resolution 3D maps are needed for an increasing number of important subsea applications. Uses include the installation and operation of offshore wind farms, oil and gas rig decommissioning, environmental monitoring and security operations. The demand for ever more detailed seabed information will only increase as the world continues to become more environmentally aware and uses
Strohm Wraps Up TotalEnergies’ TCP Job in West Africa
with a thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) Jumper, which has been commissioned in deep water in West Africa.This installation, at 1600-meter water depths, followed a rigorous testing program, during which TotalEnergies qualified the Netherlands-based company's TCP Jumper for permanent subsea applications.All pre-deployment inspections and tests were successfully passed, certifying it for its full life cycle on schedule.The installation of Strohm’s 5.2” ID, 340 bar design pressure TCP Jumper in the Egina field was supported by a local Nigerian subsea services provider, according
