Cooldown Testing Service - Brochure

With the growing need for deep water exploration and production and future plans for deep water wells, flow assurance of pipelines and fluids is becoming a higher priority. Subsea pipelines and components need to be thermally insulated to allow the hot fluids produced at depth to retain their heat during transport, in order to prevent the formation of hydrates or waxes. Also, as wells get deeper, thermal insulation not only has to maintainin the temperatures within the pipelines, but also has to perform mechanically, in order to resist the huge pressures associated with the
depth of water above.
