By means of its integrated capabilities on Oil&Gas, CSM is able to transform the research results into real industrial technology achievements through a dedicated critical mass of know-how, facilities and worldwide cooperative network.
CSM can be considered as the“natural technological bridge” between the pipes producers and the Oil&Gas end-users by offering sound technological paradigms for the common issues and for the feasability of the solutions.
In the framework of manufacturing and transformation processes, product development on Materials, Products, Components, Structures and Technologies for Oil&Gas, a highly skilled and experienced staff offering multidisciplinary expertise, operating in uniquely equipped research laboratories for simulating various systems and operating environments, make CSM a powerful resource for investigative engineering and technology developments.
The ability to perform
full-scale tests, within a controlled environment in simulated conditions, even in terms of process fluids, is one of the key points of the CSM offer.
The CSM Oil & Gas activities concern 3 main areas:
- Offshore–well;
- Offshore flowlines and risers;
- Onshore pipelines.
For each of the areas, CSM is able to provide material development and evaluation and engineering services, fully exploiting its outstanding experimental capabilities.
The Offshore–Well area is focused on the Materials and Products Selection, development,
Evaluation and assessment for Premium connections, Special Components, completion fluids and deepwater complements.
The Offshore flowlines and risers area is focused on Tubular Ducts and Components for Strained-based design applications and
welded joints
metallurgical developments, and
Structural Integrity analysis of advanced laying processes and deepwater applications.
