ExxonMobil Upstream qualifies Airborne Oil & Gas’ TCP

Technology

Airborne Oil & Gas, a leading manufacturer of fully bonded, Thermoplastic Composite Pipe, has announced that ExxonMobil Upstream Integrated Solutions Company (ExxonMobil) has qualified its thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) product for applications globally

Following a stringent and detailed assessment of Airborne Oil & Gas’ qualification test data and track record to date, the supermajor accepted the TCP jumper product for water injection purposes on its affiliates’ projects worldwide.

Krassimir Doynov Ph.D, senior technical advisor flexibles, umbilicals and risers, said, “In ExxonMobil Upstream Integrated Solutions Company, we see potential for the use of TCP as an intrinsically non-corroding and spoolable lightweight pipe that can be used in a range of static and dynamic deepwater applications.

“Airborne Oil & Gas has satisfied our criteria for the qualification and design of TCP manufactured from glass fibres and PolyEthylene, which enables our upstream affiliates’ to consider this technology as a potential alternative to existing solutions for projects that use water injection jumpers made of rigid steel pipe and unbonded flexible pipe.”

Henk de Boer Ph.D, chief technology officer with Airborne Oil & Gas, commented, “With our TCP products based on glass fibre and PolyEthylene fully qualified by DNVGL as well as many major operators around the globe, we have built a basis of track record on flowlines and jumpers in water injection, methanol injection, gas lift and hydrocarbon production applications.

“Following years of qualification testing, our first product based on carbon fibre and PA12 (nylon) is also qualified, and we are progressing fast with the next material, carbon fibre and PVDF. Through our continued qualification efforts and step-by-step approach, Airborne Oil & Gas will always offer the optimal material solution for each application.”
