brief description
This case study documents the extent of physical and chemical degradation suffered by a TPH umbilical following extended deployment in deep water. The author describes the physical design, dimensions, and technical characteristics of a salvaged TPH umbilical and the conditions under which it was utilized, including the water depth in which it was deployed, the role played in the Zafiro field, and operating conditions during deployment.
additional information
TPH umbilicals are manufactured to exacting technical design standards and quality is carefully monitored and verified throughout the manufacturing process.
