Thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) manufacturer Strohm has secured a medium-sized contract to supply four carbon fibre PA12 TCP jumpers for an ultra-deepwater field in Southeast Asia.

Each 6.9-inch internal diameter jumper will measure approximately 1,000 metres and operate at water depths exceeding 2,200 metres.

McDermott’s Subsea and Floating Facilities business line will procure and install the jumpers on behalf of a major international operator, using a vertical lay system.

Strohm said TCP’s lightweight, spoolable design and long-length delivery enable installation using established methods, existing equipment and light or medium offshore construction vessels.

Fabienne Ellington, Strohm’s Vice President for Middle East & Asia-Pacific, said: "Our TCP is already in use around the world, with an established and growing track record in deepwater developments. This award strengthens our presence in Southeast Asia and positions us to support the next phase of deepwater energy development in this growing market.”

Ellington added: “We are also pleased to continue our longstanding collaboration with McDermott, whose extensive installation experience with our pipe systems has delivered results across offshore developments worldwide.” -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
