Strohm Delivers TCP Jumper for TotalEnergies' Egina Field
Thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) company, Strohm, has delivered a TCP Jumper to TotalEnergies for a commissioning project involving a water depth of 5,250 feet (1,600 meters) in West Africa. Strohm said in a media release that the installation in the Egina field followed a rigorous testing program, during which TotalEnergies qualified the Netherlands-based company's TCP Jumper for permanent subsea applications.
All pre-deployment inspections and tests were successfully passed, Strohm said.
The installation of Strohm’s 5.2” ID, 340 bar design pressure TCP Jumper in the Egina field was supported by a local Nigerian subsea services provider. “The pipe’s lightweight properties allowed it to be transported by a small, multi-purpose vessel and installed by local contractors, greatly reducing carbon emissions and costs. Strohm personnel were mobilized offshore to assist in the installation process”, the company said.
“We are immensely proud to see our first TCP Jumper for our highly valued client TotalEnergies installed and operational in West Africa. This success reaffirms TCP as an ideal deepwater solution and strengthens our leading position in the market”, Martin van Onna, Strohm CEO, said.
Strohm said its TCP Jumpers can be manufactured and shipped in long continuous lengths, stored onsite for long periods of time, cut to length when required and terminated within hours, with no change to its properties or lifespan. TCP for subsea jumpers as well as flowlines and risers has proven to reduce the carbon dioxide footprint of pipeline infrastructures by more than 50 percent, according to the company.
Discovered in 2003, the Egina field is located 124 miles (200 kilometers) offshore Port Harcourt. It is operated by TotalEnergies, which has a 24 percent stake, in partnership with NNPC, CNOOC, Sapetro and Petrobras.
The FPSO deployed in the field is designed to hold 2.3 million barrels of oil, and according to TotalEnergies, Egina FPSO is the largest ever built by the company, connected to 44 subsea wells and with a production capacity of 200,000 barrels of oil per day.
