What is Coflexip hose?

Coflexip hoses can replace hard pipes when appropriate, they are used to transfer fluids from the surface test tree to the rest of the surface test package, kill pumps or stimulation package. …

What is a flexible flowline?

A flexible pipe is a configurable product made up of several layers. The main components are leakproof thermoplastic barriers and corrosion-resistant steel wires.

What is bonded flexible pipe?

Bonded pipe is a flexible pipe where the steel reinforcement is integrated and bonded to a vulcanized elastomeric material. Textile material is included in the structure to obtain additional structural reinforcement or to separate elastomeric layers.

What is a flexible riser?

A Flexible Riser is a flexible pipe that transfers materials from the seafloor to the drilling and production facilities and from the facilities to the seafloor as well.

What kind of steel is used in Coflexip pipe?

Coflexip® pipes are composed of successive layers of steel and thermoplastic to produce unique structures that have the strength and durability of steel pipes combined with the flexibility of reinforced rubber hoses. Each layer works inde- pendently from the others, as no vulcanisation is used during manufacturing.

Is the Coflexip line like a rubber hose?

A Coflexip® line does not react like a rubber hose, it will not contract, elon- gate, “belly out” or kick as “classic” hoses do when submitted to pressure : the Coflexip® rotary / vibrator line will resist oil-based muds with a high aromatic content, up to temperatures of 100°C (212°F) or 130°C (266°F) for high tempe- rature lines.

What kind of work is Coflexip used for?

Coflexip® products are designed for oilfield services, both on and offshore, where heavy duty is required in combination with flexibility and reliability. These requirements are in applications such as:

How is the Coflexip hub connected to the wellhead?

The hub of the system uses a Coflexip® flexible Riser in a Reverse Pliant Wave™ configuration, which connects the mobile drilling unit to the wellhead re-injection interface connection. The subsea end of the riser is connected to the subsea template via an ROV-operable end fitting.
