Subsea risers – extend reach, retrofit with light weight Aluminum
Reduce weight and extend reach
Alcoa aluminum alloy technology enables the construction of subsea risers that offer a unique combination of higher strength, lighter weight, and reliable corrosion resistance. This partnership of product characteristics allows for extended reach without significant modification of the rig.
40% lighter
Risers made with Alcoa technology are 40% lighter than conventional risers, reducing the load on the rig or drillship and decreasing the need for buoyancy compensation.
Unmatched product performance
Alcoa utilizes advanced aerospace-grade alloys, custom tempers, and internal polymer coatings, resulting in risers that deliver the industry’s best combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and flow characteristics. Alcoa’s materials expertise means we're capable of producing advanced designs for deep-water applications capable of accommodating water depths exceeding 10,000 ft.
In addition, Alcoa offers quickly deployable weight reduction solutions using “drop-in” aluminum-based components as part of a retrofit program.
