Composites in Offshore Oil: A Design and Application Guide

Composites in Offshore Oil: A Design and Application Guide

This reference, brought to you by the editors of Composites Technology magazine, examines offshore oil applications that benefit from composite materials. It includes examples of new construction and retrofits of existing structures to illustrate how operators have incorporated these versatile materials. Products covered include topside facility piping, topside components like grating, spoolable tubulars, subsea and downhole applications like air cans and drillable tools, composite tendons, risers and drill pipe, repair considerations and future applications like composite structural beams and entire composite platforms.
