Strohm has been selected to deliver two insulated carbon fibre PA12 (CF/PA12) TCP production jumpers for an offshore development in Malaysia, marking another strategic win for composite materials in subsea applications. Unlike conventional steel-based systems, these composite jumpers offer corrosion resistance, reduced weight, and enhanced thermal insulation, critical factors for improving flow assurance and lowering lifecycle costs in deepwater environments.

The project underscores the accelerating shift toward spoolable, flexible composite solutions as operators increasingly prioritize durability and installation efficiency in complex offshore fields. The two large bore 7-inch internal diameter TCP jumpers will be used for oil production as part of a field extension project taking place 120km offshore Sabah, East Malaysia at a water depth of 1,350m. They are expected to be installed in 2027.

As part of the scope, the company will supply the two insulated jumpers and associated ancillaries to Dynamic Ocean Sdn Bhd (DOSB), which has been awarded the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract from the end user.

Fabienne Ellington, Strohm s vice president for Middle East and Asia Pacific, said: This award marks another important step forward for our business in Southeast Asia, strengthening our position as a long-term partner in the region and demonstrating our customers confidence in our technology. As industrial growth across Asia continues and operators invest heavily in modern infrastructure and efficiency, we are pleased to continue supporting the end user with another contract award, reflecting the confidence customers place in our engineering expertise, commitment to quality, and our ability to deliver reliably at scale.

TCP is a fully non-metallic, corrosion-resistant pipe solution. Due to the use of carbon fibres, it is exceptionally resistant to fatigue-based failures, making it a suitable choice for applications such as jumpers, flowlines and risers, including sweet and sour hydrocarbons, water, and gas service. The technology provides a strong, corrosion free, and field-proven solution for operators, which can be installed using small multi-purpose vessels, reducing installation costs by up to 30%.

According to Rystad Energy, ~$100 billion is expected in offshore gas project investments across Southeast Asia by 2028, driven by new deepwater developments and discoveries in countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
