Electrically Heat-Traced Flowline
After years of technology development with our partner ITP Interpipe, our Electrically Heat-Traced Flowline (EHTF®) has reached the following milestone: Demonstrated Performance in Service. Providing leading insulation performance and enabling cost-effective long-distance tie-backs. Innovative, technically-advanced, enabling products are how we make the continuous evolution of lower-carbon oil and gas projects possible.
Enable/increase production
Development of remote reservoirs: green or brownfields
Simplify/optimise infrastructure
Lower CAPEX and OPEX
Greenhouse gas saving
Ærfugl: 5 Million
