Abstract
mJumper is a collaboration between Magma Global, BP, Subsea7 and National Composite Centre to qualify a large diameter composite flexible jumper for connecting subsea architecture in deep and ultra deep water developments. The current fabrication and installation of rigid steel spools is costly, energy intensive and time consuming, limiting the economic feasibility of many otherwise attractive deep water resevoirs. The project tests coupons, subscale and full scale product in oil field conditions and validates the design models. The project goes on to complete combined load testing from a vessel to demonstrate performance of the product in complex multi load conditions. The project also demonstrates that non-destructive examination techniques can be used to identify critical flaws within the structure. This project is highly innovative and extends the range of composite products to the limit of what is possible for subsea exploration and production.mJumper is a collaboration between Magma Global, BP, Subsea7 and National Composite Centre to qualify a large diameter composite flexible jumper for connecting subsea architecture in deep and ultra deep water developments.
