In common with many offshore operators, PETRONAS Carigali (PCSB), own and operate an extensive network of sub-sea pipelines which are situated in the vast offshore oil-fields which span the South China Seas. Many pipelines run from platform to platform and platform to onshore facilities over distances of between several hundred meters to several kilometers, in varying water depths. Internal corrosion, due in large part to sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) has historically caused aging pipelines to have a relatively short life, resulting in regular and expensive replacement cycles. In an effort to reduce long term expenditure, PCSB have invested in the development of a reinforced high-performance liner system which can be easily and rapidly deployed platform to platform within their sub-sea pipelines in-situ, over long distances thereby providing a viable corrosion resistant & rehabilitation system. IFL™ is the culmination of one of the largest research and development projects undertaken in recent years in the pipelining industry, representing over three years of effort, which has produced a Kevlar reinforced flexible hose with an inner Solef PVDF layer providing high end temperature, pressure and hydrocarbon performance. This paper will describe the development and application of the IFL™ System.
