GDLXTM: Qualification
Putting GDLX to the Test
Proxima, the proprietary resin, is an already tested and deployed subsea material that has been utilized on the Shell Appomattox project. The Goldilocks solution advances Proxima technology for applicability beyond high-temperature projects. The total solution, line pipe and field joint, has completed rigorous, multi-phase testing including:
PHASE 1: INTERNAL MATERIAL QUALIFICATION
Significant materials engineering and formulation work. Key risks assessed were material toughness for molding, service, installation, and storage as well as hot/wet stability and suitability for robust deepwater use.
Priority activities included:
PHASE 2: ISO SYSTEM QUALIFICATION
Utilize ISO standard tests along with key customized tests from materials and deepwater knowledge gained with Proxima use in subsea. Key risks assessed were reelability (in thick and cold conditions), field jointing capabilities, thermal robustness.
Priority activities included:
PHASE 3: CUSTOMER QUALIFICATIONS
Work with customer programs and project teams to define process windows for projects and vessels as well as illustrate ODYSEA’S ability to industrialize the process.
Priority activities included:
