Application of composite materials in oil and gas industry
Offshore facilities extract crude oil from seabeds while safeguarding ecology and adhering to safety/environmental standards. Crude oil is processed and sold. To cut costs, offshore construction simplifies, especially in deep water, embracing floating structures and prefabricated elements.
Advanced composites, like fiberglass, are favored for pipelines, risers, and repairs due to corrosion resistance, strength, and light weight. Fiberglass pipelines transport oil/gas, but FRP pipelines are less common for high-pressure gas. Fiber winding and centrifugal casting produce fiberglass tubes. New composite pipes, like Fiberspar Line Pipe™ and CRLP, are for gas transmission. Steel pipes, prone to corrosion, require restoration.
Reinforced fiber composites are ideal for repairs, using wet or pre-cured layup techniques. FRP is also considered for offshore structures like risers, which connect floating facilities to subsea systems, enduring complex loads. FRP risers reduce weight, improving dynamic load handling. Carbon fiber is a common reinforcement in FRP risers, combined with glass fiber for cost savings. Composites are effective for repairing metal risers in harsh environments. The use of unidirectional carbon fiber and epoxy resin offers high load capacity and stiffness but at a cost.
