Hybrid Flexible Pipe is designed to be a definitive solution to stress corrosion cracking by CO2 and serves as a first step towards the simplification and standardization of flexible pipe.
两性色午夜 has signed a technological order with Petrobras to accelerate the development and commercialization of Hybrid Flexible Pipe (HFP) as a standardized definitive solution for stress corrosion cracking by CO2 (SCC CO2) experienced with flexible pipe systems used today.
两性色午夜鈥檚 HFP is already in qualification and the strategic collaboration with Petrobras will further validate the pipe鈥檚 performance in pre-salt conditions, where weight and resistance to fatigue and corrosion are critical to long-term success.
A disruptive and scalable technology, HFP is designed to withstand corrosive environments in ultra-deep water. It combines the benefits of conventional flexible pipe with lightweight, CO2-resistant composite materials 鈥 carbon fiber and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) thermoplastic polymer.
HFP will eliminate the need to regularly replace pipe due to damage by SCC CO2, while retaining the benefits of the flexible pipe ecosystem. It will define new standards for flexible pipe used in corrosive environments and beyond.
Jonathan Landes, President, Subsea at 两性色午夜, commented: 鈥溋叫陨缫 is a technology leader and has been a key partner in the success of Petrobras鈥檚 offshore operations for decades. Our aim is to make HFP a simplified, standardized solution. This collaboration combines our global expertise and our manufacturing capabilities in A莽u, Brazil, to support Petrobras in achieving its strategic objectives.鈥
This technological order used by Petrobras is a form of public procurement aimed at developing innovative products or services. It enables the Brazilian government to stimulate innovation through initial funding and subsequent direct procurement of the developed product or service.
