Joint Industry Project to Introduce Next Generation Subsea Flowlines

Joint Industry Project to Introduce Next Generation Subsea Flowlines

TotalEnergies, Equinor, Aker BP, DeepOcean, Tenaris, and LS Cable & System have collaborated to develop and commercialize a groundbreaking subsea flowline heating technology. This innovative solution aims to significantly lower manufacturing and installation costs by as much as 35%, while also achieving a 30% reduction in carbon emissions. The technology accomplishes this by separating the pipeline installation from the heating installation process, enhancing efficiency and sustainability in subsea operations. The initiative marks a significant step forward in the energy sector's efforts to adopt greener technologies and reduce environmental impact.
