Strohm, the world’s first and leading manufacturer of thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP), has been awarded a significant contract to deliver four TCP Jumpers for deployment in a deepwater gas production field offshore in Malaysia.
The contract was awarded through Dynamic Ocean Sdn Bhd (DOSB), Strohm’s licensed business partner in Malaysia. The large bore TCP Jumpers, with internal diameters exceeding 7 inches, will be used in water depths of up to 1,500 metres. Designed to withstand collapse under vacuum conditions, the non-metallic jumpers represent a major technological advancement in subsea production systems.
Constructed from carbon fibre reinforced polyamide 12 (CF/PA12), the jumpers are qualified to DNV-ST-F119 standards and engineered for pressures up to 10,000 psi. Their corrosion resistance and fatigue endurance make them ideally suited for challenging offshore environments, including sweet and sour hydrocarbons, water and gas service.
Fabienne Ellington, Vice President for Middle East & Asia-Pacific at Strohm, described the award as an important milestone, “Designing and delivering jumpers of this diameter for deepwater installation represents an engineering milestone. This contract reflects the confidence our clients place in us to provide reliable, high-performance solutions for demanding offshore applications.”
Jackie Ling, Business Development Director at DOSB, emphasised the strategic importance of the project, “The deployment of carbon fibre PA12 TCP Jumpers is a groundbreaking step for Malaysia’s deepwater sector. It underscores our commitment to supporting safer, more sustainable, and cost-effective subsea solutions, while driving long-term value for the local energy industry.”
The jumpers will be manufactured at Strohm’s state-of-the-art facility in the Netherlands. Following termination and pressure testing, they will be spooled onto subsea deployment pallets for delivery and installation, scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.
Beyond technical performance, TCP technology offers significant sustainability benefits. Its lightweight and spoolable design enables installation using smaller vessels, reducing operational costs and lowering CO₂ emissions compared to traditional metallic pipelines.
