Subsea DeepGel

DeepGel is a flexible, depth independent solution for flow assurance from Aubin. DeepGel is not just a chemical but an enabling technology that offers new engineering solutions for deep water flow assurance.

• DeepGel has been designed and developed to provide a superior insulation material (typically 0.12 W/m K) for deepwater oil field applications.
• DeepGel's high thermal mass results in superior cooldown performance additives such as phase change materials can be incorporated within the gel further improving its cool down performance.
• DeepGel will not support convection, resists water ingress and exhibits low thermal conductivity.
• DeepGel can be provided as a liquid which can be pumped into cavities as a liquid which gels in place to form a depth independent insulating media making it particularly suitable for deep water applications.
• DeepGel will act as an incompressible medium transferring pressure from the external carrier pipe to the internal pipe. This means that DeepGel systems do not require a rated outer carrier pipe.
• DeepGel is suitable for insulating sub sea structures, bundles, risers and even pipelines. It can be installed during construction or in certain circumstances can be injected subsea using an ROV.
• DeepGel can offer substantial savings over existing pipeline insulation options particularly where there is a requirement to insulate complex or awkward structures.
• DeepGel is non hazardous, non flammable and environmentally responsible.
