TechnipFMC and Magma Global to Unite in a Strategic Alliance
Read MoreHide Full Article
TechnipFMC plc (FTI - Free Report) recently agreed to the terms for jointly developing a new generation of hybrid flexible pipe (HFP) with Magma Global Ltd. This type of pipe will be used in offshore activities.
Per the deal, the oilfield service provider TechnipFMC will acquire a minority interest in Magma Global that produces high strength carbon fiber pipes.
Project Importance
The company expects the HFP to heighten performance and stress-bearing ability of subsea fluid transportations. It is also assumed to reduce cost and weight of the carriers, which in turn will increase efficiency. The HFP will be made keeping in mind the demand for composite subsea infrastructure that connects the seabed to the surface.
This is nothing new for TechnipFMC, a regular investor in technologies. The company has shown its technology leadership through Subsea 2.0. It is currently advancing on developing next-generation floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG).
TechnipFMC expects the deal to improve its Subsea 2.0 product platform. The cost-effective HFP solution will enable the company address offshore deepwater difficulties around the globe and help its clients. Moreover, the strategic collaboration with Magma Global is expected to put both the companies in leadership positions in their respective markets.
