Thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) manufacturer Strohm B.V. (IJmuiden, Netherlands) and  (Stord, Norway), a provider of subsea connection systems, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop and commercialize an integrated system for the transportation of fluids and gases.

Under the agreement, the two companies are creating an end-to-end subsea jumper connection solution without flange which reduces the risk of leaks and simplifies the installation process. Unitech’s connector will be integrated with Strohm’s TCP end-fitting, creating a flange-less interface.

The collaboration marks a step toward delivering more integrated and efficient technologies for industries that rely on robust transportation systems. By combining Strohm’s expertise in flexible TCP Jumpers with Unitech’s subsea connector technology, the two companies aim to provide a comprehensive product offering to meet the diverse needs of the energy sector.

Strohm’s TCP is collapse-resistant to 3,000-meter water depths, and resistant to fatigue-based failures, making it well suited to dynamic subsea applications, from jumpers to flowlines and risers, including sweet-and-sour hydrocarbon, water and gas service. The solution is fully nonmetallic and corrosion resistant.

Unitech Offshore UH-500 Series connectors are designed for pressures up to 15,000 psi and can be used for a range of subsea applications including gas lift, acid injection, scale squeeze, methanol/MEG injection and electrical connections.
