World 鶹ýӳ,

GMC has received an award from DeepStar as part of DeepStar Phase XII-B funding. The project titled 鶹ýӳTesting of High-Strength Mechanically Connected Steel Riser鶹ýӳ will demonstrate the strength and fatigue resistance of high-strength mechanically connected and friction welded pipe for steel catenary riser applications. Full-scale testing will be performed to Industry Standards for risers and pipelines and will include mechanical testing of friction joints, as well as full-scale fatigue testing friction joints and the connector rated for 15Ksi pressure service.

鶹ýӳThis project award underscores the urgent requirement in the offshore oil and gas industry to develop cost effective technical solutions for developing deepwater and ultra-deepwater prospects. Completion of this testing will significantly advance the technology readiness level of GMC鶹ýӳs Intelligently Connected Pipe (ICP™). GMC appreciates the support of the DeepStar organisation who play a key role in advancing new technologies to solve offshore challenges,鶹ýӳ said Glen Viau, Chief Operating Officer of GMC Limited.
