加州帕萨迪那消息 — 荷兰皇家壳牌公司的全资子公司—壳牌海上公司选择Materia 公司和Aegion公司作为壳牌在墨西哥深水湾阿波马托克斯地区开发所用管道隔热材料的提供商。
该隔热材料可以在出油管和海水之间制造一个有效的隔热层,而其他高分子材料并不具备这种功能。热固性交联碳氢聚合物在深水环境中依然可以保持结构的完整性,即便在水深超过10000英尺的深海中,该物质依然坚不可摧。这种先进的隔热技术也可以应用到工厂和油田之中。石油圈原创www.oilsns.com
Materia公司的联合创始人兼高级顾问Michael Giardello博士表示在接受采访时说道:“壳牌公司对产品的安全和性能要求十分严格,我们所提供的管道隔热材料必须达到他们的性能要求,然而,这样就会减弱整个系统的完整性。”

PASADENA, California– Materia, in conjunction with Aegion Corporation, has been selected by Shell Offshore, a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, to supply pipeline insulation materials for the Appomattox development in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
The insulation system is unique among existing polymers in its ability to provide an effective thermal barrier between flowlines and seawater. The thermosetting cross-linked hydrocarbon polymer maintains structural integrity in deepwater operating environments as an incompressible solid at water depths greater than 10,000 ft. This advanced insulation technology can also be rapidly and safely applied in the factory or the field.
Dr. Michael Giardello, co-founder and senior advisor to Materia, said, “Shell’s safety and performance requirements were rigorous. We were charged with supplying pipeline insulation materials that met their performance requirements, while greatly reducing the complexity of the system.”
