1. Underwater pipeline systems
Flexible composite pipes are highly favored in deepwater oil and gas fields for their outstanding corrosion resistance, fatigue endurance, ease of installation, and adaptability to challenging seafloor topography. These pipes are commonly deployed as risers, production pipelines, and jumper connections.
2. Offshore platform construction
Composite materials are extensively utilized in platform decking, equipment modules, accommodation facilities, helicopter landing pads, and walkway grating. Their lightweight nature, superior corrosion resistance, and minimal maintenance requirements make them ideal for harsh marine environments.
3. Pressure containment vessels
Composite pressure vessels provide safe and efficient storage solutions for gases and liquids in offshore operations, leveraging their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to environmental degradation.
4. Mooring systems
High-performance synthetic fiber ropes have become the preferred choice for deepwater mooring operations. Their combination of exceptional tensile strength, low weight, chemical inertness, and dimensional stability offers significant operational advantages over traditional steel alternatives.
5. Subsea equipment protection
Composite protective housings, structural frames, and buoyancy modules play crucial roles in safeguarding sensitive subsea production components and maintaining system integrity in challenging underwater conditions.
