New composite pipe designed for extreme subsea oil and gas operations : CompositesWorld
To reduce exploration and production costs and risks in subsea oil and gas systems, Magma Global Limited has developed new flexible m-pipe technology. The company states that the latest lightweight continuous pipe is both the largest and longest VICTREX PEEK-based structure ever made. It can be deployed to depths of 10,000 feet and handle pressures of up to 15 ksi (103MPa). The composite pipe combines VICTREX PEEK, high-grade carbon fiber and S-2 glass fibers to form a reliable subsea intervention line that meets the demand for a hydraulic pumping system that can handle high pressures and high flow rates.
