For decades, composite repairs have been widely used to restore onshore pipeline integrity. As subsea pipelines age, a reliable repair method is crucial to maintain pipeline integrity and ensure safe hydrocarbon transportation. This paper presents an alternative repair method using nonmetallic composite materials, qualified to ASME PCC-2 standard...

In contrast to traditional oil industries, the oil sands sector experiences severe wear-related problems due to the inherently abrasive and corrosive nature of the mined oil sands. This wear affects the mining and extraction processes, causing rapid pipe wall loss in carbon steel slurry pipelines over a relatively short period. To extend service...

Glass-fibre Reinforced Plastic pipe (GRP) systems, also known as FRP pipe systems, have been succ essful in the world’s markets for more than 50 years. During this time, they have developed into a modern pipe material that is predominantly convincing thanks to its lightweight, corrosion resistance, a smooth inner surface, and easy installation...
