Value Proposition
Product & Installation
Optimize the floating production system cost through:
Reduced costs of new build FPSOs
Disconnectable turret optimization
Lower payloads on existing hubs allowing for more
production within tension capacity limits
Extended service life for dynamic applications
Expand the operating envelope of existing technologies
(FPSO, TLP, SPAR, semi-submersibles)
Expand the availability of installation vessels with the
required top tension capability
Field architecture flexibility
Value Proposition
More cost-efficient development of deepwater
reserves
Optimize the floating production system cost
Lowers installation costs and project schedule risk
Resistance to corrosive environments

Engineering & Qualification - Design Criteria
Products are designed to comply with offshore oil and gas industry
standards for unbonded flexible pipe and use of composites
API 17J Applies to polymer layers, carcass, steel pressure armor,
functional tapes, end fitting structural components, pipe response to
global loads
DNV OS-C501 Applies to composite armor and anti-extrusion layers
and composite armor anchoring in end fitting
API 17B DeepFlex led the development of a major revision to include
composite armored flexible pipe design, manufacture and qualification
(Annex H) which has been adopted by the API 17 Flexible Pipe Task
Group and will be published in the 2014 API Revision
