Abstract: Disclosed is an unbonded flexible pipe for subsea transportation of fluids. The pipe has a length and a centre axis and includes a plurality of layers including at least one polypropylene based layer including a modified polypropylene compound including: at least about 50% by weight of a base polypropylene (base PP) which consists of polypropylene including up to about 10% by weight of one or more co-monomers other than propylene, and at least about 1% by weight of a plastomer including a propylene and at least one co-monomer other than propylene.

Abstract: A mooring member comprises a rope configured for extending between a vessel floating in a body of water and an anchoring device. The mooring member comprises a plurality of functional elements, wherein a first functional element is wound onto at least a portion of the rope, a second functional element is wound onto the first functional element, and so on, until an outermost functional element is wound onto a second-to-outermost functional element. The functional elements are wound in a helical configuration, and are configured to provide at least one of the following functions: damage protection, buoyancy, optical detection, sonar detection, stiffness control, and anti-fouling.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thermal insulating element. The element comprises a base material comprising one first series of hole configurations, said first series comprising a plurality of elongated interior holes. Each comprises a central hole axis (A) along its elongation, each central hole axis extending substantially mutually in parallel to each other along a first longitudinal direction. Each hole in a plane perpendicular to the first general longitudinal direction comprises a cross sectional hole shape. The elastic modulus E of said base material along said first longitudinal direction is equal to or larger than 1.5 GPa. The thermal insulating element is suitable for varying and high pressure environments. Further, the invention relates to armored unbonded flexible pipes comprising such a thermal insulating element. Further, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing such an element and a method of manufacturing such an armored unbonded flexible pipe.

Abstract: Process for producing single layer and multilayer polyolefin foam pipes with improved compression resistance having a polyolefin foam layer which consists of mixtures of modified propylene polymers having strain hardening behaviour or propylene homopolymers with a stereospecificity index >98% or propylene copolymers with a stereospecificity index of the homopolymer matrix of >96%. The polyolefin foam pipes include coated steel pipes for transporting crude oil or gas products or district heating applications, single layer pipes for insulation purposes and for non- or low-pressure applications and multilayer plastic pipes for the transportation of hot or cold fluids.
