Teijin Aramid oil and gas leaflet - TEIJIN ARAMID - #1

Text version of the page

Let’s go deeper Deepwater developments In today’s dynamic world, fossil fuels are becoming increasingly difficult to extract. Nowhere is this more evident then in the offshore oil and gas industry where this trend is driving the development of lightweight materials to replace steel. This is especially true in deeper and more remote waters, requiring new technologies to extract oil more efficiently from existing fields. In addition, with ever higher working pressures, temperatures and more aggressive crudes being extracted, the performance requirements of materials used subsea are becoming increasingly demanding. In this environment Twaron and especially Technora p-aramid fibers come into their own. Key benefits when using our aramid • Reduced weight • Reduced installation costs • Reduced installation time • Extended product lifetimes • Longer lengths • Improved product performance
