Results for tag: "Offshore Flexible Pipe"

The offshore flexible pipe market refers to the industry centered around the production and distribution of flexible pipes used primarily in offshore oil and gas extraction activities. These pipes are designed to withstand harsh marine environments and are used to transport hydrocarbons from the sea bed to production facilities above water or on land. Within the context of plastics, these flexible pipes often utilize advanced polymer materials, which are key components in the several layers that make up the pipe structure. Thermoplastic materials used may include nylon, polypropylene, or polyethylene, among others. These materials are chosen for their flexibility, resistance to corrosion from sea water and hydrocarbons, and their ability to handle high pressures and temperatures. The integration of plastics in these pipes is crucial as it grants the pipes the flexibility and durability needed to operate efficiently in dynamic and challenging offshore environments. Some prominent companies operating in the offshore flexible pipe market include TechnipFMC, Prysmian Group, Baker Hughes (a GE company), NOV (National Oilwell Varco), and Shawcor. These companies are engaged in the manufacture, design, and supply of flexible pipes, offering a range of products and services to the oil and gas industry. Show Less Read more
