Corrosive gases present in the oil production flow have a significant impact
on the design and cost of a flexible pipe. Now, a new Technip technology
provides a step change in the management of the design and cost implications.
Additionally, it expands the domain of application of flexible pipe.

External sheath
Made of polymer to ensure tightness of theannulusregarding external environment.
The Armours
Made of one or two pairs of helicoidally spiraled steel wires and designed to ensure structural
strength.
Pressure vault
This layer sustains internal pressure thanks to a vault wire spiraled at short
pitch.
Anti-H2S sheath
Composite material: Polyethylene + ZnO (PEZnO). TheZinc Oxide will neutralize the H2S
during theentireservice life.
Pressure sheath
H2S permeates through this sheath. Itregulates the H2S
flowrate that arrives atthe second sheath.
Carcass
Made of stainless steel, indirect contact with thetransported fluid andsustaining

Several years ago, the offshore industry learned that Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs) were particularly sensitive to the motions of the
floating platform that supports them. When the support platform
has a very low-motion hull, such as a Spar, the excursions are relatively small. However this is not the case for semi-submersible
vessels. SCRs tend to experience
their highest fatigue damage at
their touchdown point, that is,
where the suspended SCR first
rests on the seabed. In some early semi-submersible projects with
SCRs, the fatigue damage at this location was so high that the
platform had to be periodically moved to deliberately distribute
the damage along the length of the SCR in order to meet the design life of the field. Clearly this was unsatisfactory and Technips
quest for a lower motion semi-submersible hull commenced.

causes a major reduction in SCR fatigue
damage. The HVS hull
design is also simplified by adopting the
Spars ballast system,
