Offshore Platforms
Production · Gas Storage · FPSO / FSRU
Offshore platforms represent the most demanding FRP application — 75% weight reduction, CUI elimination, fire performance, and classification society certification.
Selecting a non-metallic piping system for this sector begins with the service envelope rather than a product name. Engineers should define the transported fluid, impurities, pressure and temperature cycles, external loads, installation environment, design life, joining method, and consequences of failure. Those conditions determine the resin system, reinforcement architecture, liner, qualification standards, and inspection stages. LEISA converts the resulting requirements into an inspection and test plan covering material identity, dimensions, short- and long-term mechanical performance, chemical compatibility, joint integrity, manufacturing records, and traceable acceptance evidence.
Production
Cooling, produced water, grey/black water, firefighting — FRP is ~75% lighter than steel, directly increasing platform capacity. Eliminates expensive CRA materials.
Gas Storage
Depleted fields repurposed for gas storage — and future hydrogen storage. FRP delivers 75% weight reduction plus corrosion resistance.
FPSO / FSRU
Operating in ultra-deepwater. FRP lightweight plus fire resistance — preferred material for fire mains and deluge systems.
