TCP DOWNLINE & JUMPER
Subsea Well Interventionspoolable | fast deployment | corrosion resistantAirborne Oil & Gas is the world’s first andleading manufacturer of fully bonded,
Thermoplastic Composite Pipe.
Lightweight, high strength and corrosion resistantcomposite pipes provide cost and operational
benefits in subsea well intervention applications.

Excel in simplicity
The Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) developedby Airborne Oil & Gas excels in simplicity. The solid wallconsists of an inner liner, thermoplastic composite
reinforcement layers and an outer coating. All layers
are melt-fused together, ensuring a bond between
layers that is as strong and durable as the basematerials.
Especially in harsh offshore conditions, Airborne Oil& Gas’ very robust downlines have proved to be oneof the most important advantages compared tocompetitive products.

TCP end fittings are simple and reliable and can bere-terminated offshore. The rugged outer coatingof the TCP pipe is repairable in offshore conditions.
The smooth bore of the pipe with a surface roughnessof 5 µm allows for superior flow rates and has anexcellent resistance against abrasion. These
heavy duty properties ensure a long service life.
By varying the orientation of these reinforcement layers theproperties of the product can be changed from high tensionbased to high flex-based. This allows us to offer a range offlexible, spoolable TCP conduits for Subsea Well Intervention,
to be used on either compact or flexible deployment systems.

The key applications
for these systems are:Subsea light well intervention
Plugging & Abandonment
Pipeline pre-commissioning
Dispersant & kill lines

The TCP Downline offers thefollowing advantages:
Fast deployment to the required water depth	One continuous pipe from surface to seabed without midline
connectors	
Flexibility to run to any depth, while pumping through theconduit at rated pressure	High internal and external pressure ratings including collapse
resistance with vacuum capability	Low cost per intervention: Multiple operations per year, for years,
with one TCP Downline	Superior fatigue life, supporting hundreds of deployments tomaximum water depthDownline Systems
Self-supporting Downline
Airborne Oil & Gas customers who have used the system on numerous deployments appreciate
the light weight, the ease of use and the external pressure resistance, making it the preferred
option to conventional systems, both technically and operationally.
Operators further highlight the robustness of the product which allows quick deployments andrecoveries compared to conventional systems.

Our experience with Self-supporting Downline systems
delivered to a number of customers for various projects,
and also the industry’s demand for compact and craneable
deployment systems, has led to the development of two
types of downline systems:

Wire-clamped TCP Downlines offer an even more flexible, light weight, yet robust conduit. Due toits low bending stiffness this conduit can be connected directly to the subsea structure without
the need for a dynamic jumper.
This wire-clamped conduit has a high internal and external pressure rating. The wire will activate
the Emergency Quick Disconnect in case of vessel drift.

Self-supporting Downline system
This free-hanging downline is a fully
automated system which can be spooled off
to the required water depth by simply pushing
the button. The time required to reach 2500 m
water depth is approximately two hours. This
downline has a high-tension design and isusually operated with a flexible TCP jumper
at the bottom and deployed using a tension
controlled deployment spread. The downline
is strong enough to activate the Emergency
Quick Disconnect (EQD) if required.

Wire-clamped Downline system
This downline is clamped to a steel wire orcable to transfer the tension load. The clamps
are manually installed during spooling off
to the required water depth. Using a smart
clamping technique the extra time requiredfor installing the clamps is approximately
30 minutes per 1000 m water depth. Due tothe high-flex design this downline can beoperated using a compact reel with a reeldrive system. This downline can also be usedin harsh weather conditions.

Deployment System
Depending on the type of downline (Self-supporting or Wire-clamped) and the customer’s
preferences, several deployment systems to operate the downlines are available. For self-supporting
Downlines these include semi or fully enclosed reelers that feature an integrated power unit,tensioner (for constant tension), swivel and levelwind.
To enable operation of the system from a variety of available installation vessels, the deck layout
and equipment arrangements are flexible and/or compact to accommodate both deploymentof the downline over the side as well as from the moonpool while at the same time the required
deck space is minimized.
Wire-clamped Downlines are supplied on a reeler with a Reel Drive System interface and wireclamps. All deployment systems are manufactured to the highest standards including DNV 2.7-1
and DNV 2.7-3.

Dynamic Jumpers
Airborne Oil & Gas’ dynamic TCP Jumper
connects the Self-supporting Downline or
steel coiled tubing to the injection skid,
wellhead or pig launcher. The TCP Jumper
absorbs the heave motions of the vesseland is capable of withstanding highinternal as well as high external pressures.
The smooth bore allows for high flow
rates and prevents plugging of thejumper during cementing operations.
In case of vessel drift, the TCP jumper
is strong enough to activate theemergency quick disconnect.

The TCP Jumper
offers the following advantages:
Spoolable with small Minimum Bend RadiusHigh burst and collapse capabilities (3000 meter water depth)
Smooth bore with very low friction loss
Allows cement pumping
Capable of handling vacuum at rated depth
Able to disengage emergency quick disconnect
Can be re-terminated in the field
Tough, yet smooth outer layer
Impervious to corrosion
Chemical resistant
Robust, yet easy to handle

Chemical compatibility
The conduits are used for the large majority of fluids and gases used in theSubsea Well Intervention industry.

Deployment	One continuous length of downline, can be deployed toany depth	No ballast or buoyancy to be attached during
deployment (buoyancy on jumper pre-installed): fast
deployment
No spring effect (elastic energy) in downline

Fast, Flexible and Safe Deployment
Our customers having used the system
on numerous well intervention projects
appreciate the robustness of the protective
outer layer of Airborne Oil & Gas’ TCP and thehigh flowrates that can be achieved.
With its high collapse resistance, this TCP
Jumper will not only outclass HCR hoses; itis also the only high pressure, truly flexible
composite jumper available in the market
today. Airborne Oil & Gas’ TCP Jumper is thejumper of choice for today’s deepwater
Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI) andPlugging & Abandonment (P&A) operations.
