Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP): Concept
• Solid pipe structure: bonded
• Fit for purpose polymer: liner, matrix & coating
• Glass or carbon fibres fully embedded (true composite)
• Optional weight coating for on-bottom stability
No corrosion
Flexible
Light weight

(optional)
Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP): Concept
• Terminated within hours
• Fully qualified and field proven
• Can be fitted with bend restrictors, bend stiffeners and
clump weights (TCP Downline)
• Various flange options available (API, ANSI, etc)
• Various material options available (carbon steel, CRA etc)
3
The TCP can be terminated in the field, both onshore and offshore. This allows for flexibility in tie-in as well as pulling through J-tubes without end-fittingThe liner is reamed prior to stem insert, maximising bore dimensionsCRA options include weld inlays

Statoil’s Astaa Hansteen.:On this project, the TCP Downline is used for the pre-commissioning of risers and pipelines, pumping various fluids at pressure into subsea pipelines and risers. The project was completed in close cooperation with Subsea 7, who initially selected the downline for this operation. The TCP Downline is used for both pipeline pre-commissioning as well as subsea light well intervention services
Enpro Subsea is a provider of riserless, subsea stimulation services include scale squeeze and acid stimulation services. Enpro supplied 3 TCP jumpers to Ghana, West AfricaKey element in this project was ultra-fast (12 wks) delivery First successful scale squeeze was completed in July 2017.

Shell Nigeria Exploration & Production Company (SNEPCo): Supply TCP Downline, Jumpers and deployment system (Reeler and Tensioner system, as well as a bespoke overboardingchute design) to be used for stimulation purposes. The TCP Downline and Jumper will connect to a subsea tree injection cap, ready for deployment in 2017.
Saipem SA – TCP Downline for the pre-commissioning of the Sapinhoá pipeline in Brazil, part of the Guara & Lula field. The TCP Downline was used for pressure testing, cleaning and de-watering of the pipeline, pumping methanol, dyed seawater, nitrogen and high pressure air. In total, the TCP Downline completed 45 deployments to 2140 meters water depth. This TCP Downline has set the world depth record for a composite pipe.
