Daniel Sack, of EMAS Chiyoda Subsea, has spent three decades in the oil and gas industry following and participating in the next big step changes in technology – one subsea project at a time. Audrey Leon found out more. Daniel…
Airborne Oil & Gas has started a project to qualify thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) for a deepwater jumper spool application for French operator Total. The non-corrosive and spoolable TCP aims to provide cost effective spools, well jumper…
In this animated video, Magma Global shows how its m-pipe carbon fiber composite pipe provides high flow rate, high-pressure hydraulic pumping for light well intervention in offshore wells and deepwater. Magma m-pipe is designed for light well intervention and hydraulic pumping…
The Libra consortium has invited Airborne Oil & Gas to perform a failure mode, effect and criticality assessment (FMECA) for a TCP (thermoplastic composite pipe) Riser that could be used at the giant Libra field offshore Brazil. The request…
GE Oil & Gas is introducing a series of offshore solutions at this week's Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, aimed at increasing efficiencies and reducing costs. These include the SeaPrime I Subsea BOP Control System, which has…
Sometimes, new materials and new manufacturing processes fortuitously emerge, just at the time they are needed. At least Magma Global hopes that’s the case. Elaine Maslin reports. m-pipe in production…
Airborne Oil & Gas, a composite pipe manufacturer, has secured an investment from Chevron Technology Ventures, the technology investment arm of Chevron Corp. The Dutch manufacturer has developed a range of composite pipe products that offer unique benefits for offshore oil and gas operations…
Materials technology is being challenged to its limits in the deepwater and high-temperature applications the oil industry is heading into. Technip’s Alan Rutherford outlines work to make umbilicals fit for purpose in this area. Thermoplastic hose…
A West African operator selected Airborne Oil and Gas’s thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) technology as the preferred solution for injecting large volumes of stimulation fluids offshore in deep water offshore West Africa. Airborne Oil & Gas will supply a 1450m-long…
Shell Technology Ventures has invested in Dutch thermoplastic composite pipe firm Airborne Oil & Gas alongside German specialty chemicals firm Evonik and HPE Growth Capital (HPE). How much the three firms have invested in Airborne Oil & Gas (AOG) is undisclosed…
Magma Global entered into a joint development agreement with BP and Subsea 7 to qualify Magma’s carbon fiber m-pipe for subsea pipelines. The program is also supported by the National Composites Centre (NCC) and Innovate UK, the government…
