Magma Global develops and produces the world’s most advanced subsea pipe for oil and gas. Magma was founded to solve the problems that were a challenge to steel and flexibles: corrosion, temperature, high pressure and speed of deployment. Magma’s m-pipe® is made from PEEK and carbon fibre. It simplifies subsea architecture thanks to its low weight, high strength, flexibility and standardised design. m-pipe® is used as flowlines and jumpers by major operators around the world and achieves significant installed cost savings. Magma’s game-changing technology is now solving riser challenges and is incorporated into TechnipFMC's Hybrid Flexible Pipe.
m-pipe® is deployed for onshore and offshore applications for hydrocarbon, gas and water transfer and has subsea applications for tie-backs, jumpers, risers, flowlines and dynamic downlines.
– m-pipe® corrosion resistance, sour service and high fluid flow rates delivers subsea reliability
– m-pipe® light weight and high fatigue strength reduces transport and deployment costs
– Magma m-pipe in-country manufacturing facility meets local production requirements
– IDP well intervention rental system reduces well intervention costs by over 40%
– m-pipe® reduces engineering design, deployment and operational costs
Magma Global is a TechnipFMC company.
