Subsea 7 has acquired Swagelining Limited, a polymer lining technologist, to further expand existing polymer pipeline technology interests.
Previously, the companies have cooperated together designing and installing in excess of 150 km of reeled and bundled polyethylene (PE) lined water injection flowlines in the North Sea, for a number of operators and developments.
Subsea 7 sees potential in the use of polymer lining and through acquiring Swagelining hopes to extend the application of polymer lined flowlines.
