AIS Buys CRP Subsea
UK-based AIS has acquired its compatriot CRP Subsea (ex-Trelleborg Offshore UK) to expand its subsea offering.CRP Subsea specializes in polymer and syntactic foam-based buoyancy and protection products for the offshore renewables and oil and gas industries."With solutions such as buoyancy, floats, and bend protection, [CRP Subsea's ] range will complement and expand AIS' current subsea offerings that include cable protection, distributed buoyancy modules, insulation solutions, and our range of AIS Bardot and Manuplas products," AIS said."The acquisition will significantly
Trelleborg, Ørsted Ink Subsea Cable Protection Deal
Ørsted recently signed a six-year framework agreement with Trelleborg for the supply of NjordGuard, a cable protection system, for use on upcoming wind farm projects.Andy Smith, Business Manager for Global Developing Markets with Trelleborg’s offshore operation said the contract “will ensure open collaboration between both parties in order to identify, develop, implement and progress initiatives within the agreement’s key focus areas.”NjordGuard is a protection system designed and developed to protect offshore wind farm power cables. Manufactured from API 17L certified
Interview: Antony Croston, Trelleborg Offshore
Vibration: a common problem with drilling risers in high currents. The helical grooves actually channel water around the riser and convert it into a rotational flow, which ‘pins’ the riser in place to lower drag forces. The product is a result of a joint development exercise between Trelleborg Offshore and Diamond Offshore Drilling, and it has been thoroughly qualified in simulations and hydrodynamic testing, as well as through successful deployment on a number of drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. With the combination of VIV mitigation and low drag, performance has been shown to rival
Partners Aim to Improve Riser Performance and Efficiency
Trelleborg said its offshore operation has signed a supply and license agreement with Reel Power Oil and Gas to collaboratively develop and market a new Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) suppression system aimed at improving riser performance and efficiency in demanding offshore environments.“We strive to push the limits of the oil and gas industry to improve the performance and competitiveness of our customers. This new solution provides us with the opportunity to work with Reel Power to help them commercialize this technology and allows us to add this superior solution to our portfolio,”
New Solution Seeks to Prevent Seabed Pipeline Buckling
Trelleborg Offshore’s new Rotating Buoyancy Modules for pipeline protection aim to eliminate rogue buckles on the seabed. Buckling typically occurs during start-up and shutdown sequences as the thermal fluctuations cause pipelines to expand and contract, leading to problematic buckling along its length. Traditionally, non-rotating cylindrical buoyancy modules have been installed along sections of the pipeline to reduce the weight and friction in that section and promote controlled bending. However, in certain conditions the modules have displaced seabed material to build ridges
Trelleborg Suite Supplied to Prelude FLNG
Trelleborg’s marine systems operation has supplied a suite of products to Shell’s Prelude FLNG facility, the largest offshore facility ever constructed. Prelude, which is 488 meters long, 74 meters wide, and made with more than 260,000 tons of steel, will extract and liquefy natural gas from a site in North West Australia. Trelleborg supplied its gas transfer technology and SafePilot navigational and piloting systems for Prelude. “Our SafePilot solution, SSL, ESL and radio ESD for tandem condensate offload have been used on Shell’s Prelude FLNG,” said
Revolutionizing Deepwater Drilling Riser Buoyancy
required equipment and rig operation times. Solution-specific engineering of the inverted helical module will facilitate the ability of drilling vessels around the globe to continue to deliver the energy needs of the future. The Author Collin Gaskill is Riser Analysis Engineer at Trelleborg Offshore. (As published in the April 2017 edition of Marine Technology Reporter)
Partnership Yields New Helical Buoyancy Technology
Diamond Offshore signs joint development agreement with Trelleborg to manufacture and market new Helical Riser Buoyancy design Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. and Trelleborg's offshore operation today announced a joint development agreement to develop, manufacture and market Helical Buoyancy riser technology developed by Diamond Offshore. This innovative, patented riser buoyancy design reduces riser drag and mitigates Vortex-Induced Vibration in offshore applications and enables improved operational efficiency. This solution is an alternative to adding fairings or strakes to the
Trelleborg Signs Framework Agreement with Statoil
Trelleborg’s offshore operation in Norway, signed a framework agreement with Statoil for the supply of Elastopipe, corrosion protection, Passive Fire Protection (PFP) as well as Thermal Insulation (Vikotherm R2, S1 and P7). The framework agreement is signed for six years. Hans Leo Hals, Managing Director for Trelleborg’s offshore operation in Norway, commented: “We are very proud that Statoil has chosen to sign a framework agreement with us for our core products and solutions. Our proven technologies, leading materials and long experience have made us an important supplier in the
