Technip
has pioneered the development of critical
products that have permitted the emergence
of new concepts in offshore field
development.
With
almost 75% of the market, Technip
is the world leader in the design
and manufacturing of flexible pipe.
With its manufacturing units located
in France and in Brazil, the Group
is the leader in providing flexible
pipe for oil and gas field developments.
Thermoplastic sheaths ensure leakproofness
and significantly reduce heat loss,
providing the best solution for corrosion
resistance and for high temperature
hydrocarbons. Helically wound, the
still wires give the structure an
excellent bending performance. These
layers can be easily adapted to any
subsea developments. Moreover, flexible
pipe can be easily retrieved in order
to be re-used on another field development
(particularly in Brazil), or in case
of decommissioning (in the British
sector of the North Sea). (For more information: 121

SCR/HCR
Technip has developed reeled
steel catenary risers and hybrid
catenary
risers, which combine flexible and
rigid pipe. These technologies provide
cost-effective solutions for offshore
field developments in certain layouts
of deepwater environments.These lines
can be laid using the Group’s
vessels Apache or Deep
Blue
using laying systems, such as the
patented Modular J Lay System (MJ
Lay). (For more information: 135

Pipe-in-pipe technology
This technology integrates perfectly
into these rigid pipe solutions, providing
the level of insulation necessary
for economical installation and the
level of flow assurance needed for
effective production in deep and ultra-deep
water.
Through
its affiliate DUCO, Technip
is the leading manufacturer of umbilicals
(steel and thermoplastic), providing
connections between subsea equipment
and platforms or floating production
systems enabling control from the
surface. The Group operates 2 manufacturing
sites in Newcastle (UK) for thermoplastic
umbilicals and in Houston (US) for
steel umbilicals. (For more information:

This
Technip product line includes
drilling and servicing pipes, pipes
for refineries (roof drains and
fire
protection systems), the Coflexlite® lines (reinforced thermoplastic
lines – RTP), as well as very
low temperature (-163°C) flexible
pipelines used for loading LNG
(liquefied
natural gas).
