The Netherlands — In a first for the Americas region, ExxonMobil affiliate Esso Exploration & Production Guyana Ltd. (EEPGL) is set to install a subsea water alternating gas (WAG) jumper made from Strohm’s thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) on the Liza Phase 2 project in Guyana, according to a recent Strohm news release.
This will be followed by a multi-jumper deployment campaign on EEPGL’s and its co-venturers’ Yellowtail project using the Strohm's Jumper on Demand procurement model.
Under the recently established long-term agreement framework contract with EEPGL as operator, Strohm has delivered the TCP Jumper for a planned installation this year. As well as marking the first use of TCP in South America, it will also be one of the first for Strohm’s Carbon Fibre PA12 TCP material group of pipes.
The Liza Phase 2 TCP Jumper, which will be used in place of a steel jumper, will be installed in deepwater at depths of approximately 1,700 m, and it will be utilized for water and gas injection services for the operator’s high-pressure well injection application. The award of the jumper follows on from a successful feasibility engineering project and qualification program for TCP.
On the back of the Liza Field award for the WAG jumper, Strohm was also awarded a contract to supply Carbon Fibre PA12 TCP for all WAG jumpers to be delivered to the Yellowtail project in 2024. The Jumper on Demand procurement model takes advantage of volume cost savings in the entire supply chain and involves shipping a continuous section of pipe to the in-country site. The continuous pipe is subsequently cut to length, terminated and tested by the client.
The TCP Jumpers will be manufactured in Strohm’s facility and headquarters in IJmuiden, the Netherlands.
