Coated conduits and methods of repairing or reinforcing conduits

The present invention is directed to a coated conduit comprising: a) a conduit having an interior and exterior surface; and b) a cured coating formed from a reaction mixture that is applied to at least one surface of the conduit. The reaction mixture comprises: i) a filler material comprising fibers ranging in length from 0.1 to 15.54 cm and having an aspect ratio of at least 5; and ii) a reactive component that demonstrates a tack-free time of less than five minutes at a temperature of 20 to 25 C. The present invention is also directed to a method of repairing or reinforcing a conduit, comprising: (a) applying a curable coating composition to at least one surface of the conduit, wherein the curable coating composition is formed from the reaction mixture described above; and (b) allowing the curable coating composition to at least partially cure by exposing the composition to ambient conditions.

MOLDS FOR MAKING PROTECTIVE COVERINGS OVER METAL STRUCTURES

The present disclosure provides protective coverings formed by releasably attaching a mold to a metal structure over a connection, such as an exothermic or brazed connection, and injecting a hardening material into one or more fill ports in the mold. The hardening material hardens to form the protective covering encasing the connection.

GROOVE GEOMETRY FOR INJECTION MOLDED POLYPROPYLENE COATED FIELD JOINTS

In an injection molded polypropylene field joint of an oil or gas pipeline, the three- dimensional geometry of the injection molded/cast coating can have an influence on the stress placed on the line coating during cooling. Specifically, it has been found that molding or casting a coating having circumferential grooves, or other groove geometry, proximal to the interface with the line coating, will reduce line coating failure proximal to the field joint, in particular line coating failure related to the initial spooling/reeling of the pipe.

20240026993 · 2024-01-25 ·

The present invention relates to a pipeline junction coating between the joined ends of two coated metallic pipeline sections, the coating comprising an elongate body able to extend over the joined ends of the coated pipeline sections, and having a variable end profile at one or both ends. The pipeline junction coating is for coating field joints of coated rigid pipelines, as used in the subsea oil and gas industry.

EXTRUDABLE POLY(PROPYLENE) COMPOSITIONS

Extrudable compositions were prepared comprising poly(propylene) and a liquid additive comprising a lactam group. The compositions can comprise other optional additives that include a polyhemiaminal, antioxidants, UV light absorbers, and surfactants. The extruded compositions have higher percent elongation at break and lower Young's modulus compared to extruded poly(propylene) lacking the liquid additive. These and other property improvements make the extruded compositions attractive for forming field joint coatings for undersea pipeline applications.
