Strohm completes first TCP Jumper in West Africa for TotalEnergies

Strohm’s TCP Jumper

Strohm, the world's first and leading TCP technology company, has supplied TotalEnergies with a thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) Jumper, which has been commissioned in deep water (1600 m) in West Africa.

This installation has followed a rigorous testing programme, during which TotalEnergies qualified the Netherlands-based company's TCP Jumper for permanent subsea applications. All pre-deployment inspections and tests were successfully passed, certifying it for its full life cycle on schedule.

The installation of Strohm’s 5.2” ID, 340 bar design pressure TCP Jumper in the Egina field was supported by a local Nigerian subsea services provider. The pipe’s lightweight properties allowed it to be transported by a small, multi-purpose vessel and installed by local contractors, greatly reducing carbon emissions and costs. Strohm personnel were mobilised offshore to assist in the installation process.

Martin van Onna, Strohm CEO, said: “We are immensely proud to see our first TCP Jumper for our highly valued client TotalEnergies installed and operational in West Africa. This success reaffirms TCP as an ideal deepwater solution and strengthens our leading position in the market.”

Strohm’s TCP provides a robust, corrosion free and field-proven solution for operators. TCP Jumpers can be manufactured and shipped in long continuous lengths, stored onsite for long periods of time, cut to length when required and terminated within hours, with no change to its properties or lifespan. TCP for subsea jumpers as well as flowlines and risers have proven to reduce the CO2 footprint of pipeline infrastructures by more than 50%.

About Strohm

Leading composite pipe technology company Strohm has the world’s largest track-record for Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) after being the first to bring the technology to the oil and gas industry in 2007. TCP reduces total installed and life cycle cost for subsea flowlines, jumpers and risers and has proven to reduce the CO2 footprint of pipeline infrastructures by more than 50%.   

The company is committed to driving sustainability with its range of TCP solutions which enable clients towards their net-zero carbon emissions targets and supports the renewables sector.    

TCP is a strong, non-corrosive, spoolable, lightweight technology which is delivered in long lengths, resulting in a significant reduction of transportation and installation costs. TCP is installed using small vessels or subsea pallets, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. It is also 100% recyclable. TCP eliminates the requirement for metrology and significantly reduces installation, transportation, and fabrication costs
