Strohm, the world’s leading developer of thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP), has secured a major contract to supply four large-bore TCP Jumpers for a deepwater gas field offshore Malaysia.

The project, awarded through Strohm’s local partner Dynamic Ocean Sdn Bhd (DOSB), marks a major step forward in the use of non-metallic pipes for deepwater energy production in Southeast Asia.

The TCP Jumpers, each with an internal diameter of more than 7 inches, are designed to withstand extreme subsea conditions, including depths of up to 1,500 meters and pressures as high as 10,000 psi. Built from carbon fiber and PA12 (CF/PA12), the pipes are exceptionally strong, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion and fatigue — making them ideal for transporting gas safely and efficiently from subsea wells to offshore processing facilities.

Unlike traditional steel pipes, TCP is non-corrosive, spoolable, and much lighter, which means it can be deployed using smaller vessels. This not only lowers project costs but also reduces carbon emissions during installation.

Fabienne Ellington, Strohm’s Vice President for the Middle East & Asia-Pacific, said the project highlights the industry’s confidence in TCP technology:

“Designing and delivering jumpers of this diameter for deepwater installation represents an engineering milestone. This award validates our expertise and our clients’ trust in our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions.”

Jackie Ling, Business Development Director for DOSB, added that the technology represents a breakthrough for Malaysia’s offshore sector:

“The deployment of carbon fibre PA12 TCP Jumpers is a significant step toward delivering safer, more sustainable, and cost-effective subsea solutions. We believe this innovation will shape the future of offshore developments in Malaysia.”

The jumpers will be manufactured at Strohm’s facility in the Netherlands, before being tested, spooled, and shipped for installation. Delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.

With this project, Strohm continues to demonstrate how advanced composite technology can transform subsea infrastructure — combining safety, efficiency, and sustainability for the future of offshore energy.
