ffshore developments continue to demand increasingly severe conditions of
operation, which the line pipe material and weldments of subsea umbilicals, risers
and flowlines (SURF) must withstand to ensure integrity throughout the planned field
life. Exova Group plc is working closely with the offshore sector to develop appropriate testing
technologies that can simulate the harsh environment operational conditions these materials
and components will face.
