Element Materials Technology (London, U.K.) announces the renewal of its strategic partnership with Magma Global (Portsmouth, U.K.), a TechnipFMC company that develops composite pipes to simplify subsea oil and gas architecture. The collaboration is specifically focused on advancing thermoplastic composite technologies for the energy sector through rigorous testing and validation.
In this renewed partnership, the two companies will harness Element’s state-of-the-art facilities in Hitchin, U.K., to evaluate and extend the capabilities of Magma’s m-pipe systems. The lightweight, high-strength carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) m-pipe provides corrosion resistance, pressure ratings and rapid deployment that is said to be unmatched by traditional steel or flexible pipe alternatives. Importantly, it is engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures, harsh chemicals and moisture, ensuring reliable performance in offshore and subsea environments.
“Their [Element’s] world-class laboratory will prove invaluable as we work to ensure the ongoing success and evolution of our m-pipe product line to meet critical needs in offshore, subsea and other demanding energy applications,” Julia Campbell, senior project manager at Magma Global, notes.
Luke Shield, general manager for Energy UK South at Element Hitchin, notes that combining Element’s expertise in materials testing and characterization with Magma’s composite technologies will drive innovations that enhance safety, performance and sustainability. In particular, the testing data generated through the partnership will provide significant insights to assist Magma in optimizing its thermoplastic pipe systems and qualifying them for new operating environments.
