- In November 2023, Baker Hughes Company announced plans to launch of new pipe under the brand of PythonPipe. The pipe utilizes the reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) technology that enables fast installation, reduced time to first production and low lifecycle emissions.
- In February 2017, Airborne Oil & Gas received a qualification program from Royal Dutch Shell plc (Netherlands) for a high-pressure, deepwater thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) jumper spool. The first deployment is planned for the Gulf of Mexico. The lightweight and flexible design of these polymer pipes is expected to significantly lower operational costs in deepwater exploration. Additionally, the high-pressure jumper spool marks a critical advancement toward the future use of deepwater composite risers.
- In January 2017, National Oilwell Varco (NOV) introduced an innovation in oil and gas technology with the development of an automated casing monitoring system called cerT&D. This system has shown promising applications in multiple projects by enabling real-time monitoring. Its use by Three Rivers Operating Company (3ROC) helped avoid exceeding the tensile limits of rig site and pipe equipment, allowing operations to reach total depth (TD) safely and without causing damage to the equipment or casing.
- In February 2016, Technip secured a contract from Deep Gulf Energy III, LLC (DGE) for the development of the South Santa Cruz and Barataria fields. The agreement includes several deliverables, among them the fabrication and installation of approximately 23 kilometers of pipe-in-pipe flowlines.
