Oilfield technology firm Airborne Oil & Gas has commenced a qualification of a TCP Riser for deepwater and dynamic applications for a major operator in South America in collaboration with Subsea 7, effective 26 June 2018.

As a global leader in the manufacturing of Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP), Airborne Oil & Gas has started The TCP Riser qualification programme, believed to be a world first for fully bonded composite risers, with the aim of providing a disruptive new riser pipe technology for operators with international deepwater applications.

The TCP Riser design, developed by Airborne Oil & Gas, delivers the lowest cost solution for total installation in comparison to existing solutions, whilst offering maximum flexibility to operators in terms of subsea configuration and choice of installation vessel.
