Composites in Oil and Gas Market: Overview
The oil & gas industry needs to meet certain technical, technological, and economic
requirements. This is especially observed in materials employed in construction,
which are expected to withstand corrosion, fatigue, and weight. These factors
contribute to increased risk and cost of offshore projects.
Composites are used due to their unique properties, which make them suitable for
demanding applications in the oil & gas industry. They have the advantage of being
low in weight, which eliminates the need for large and exorbitant buoyancy tanks.
Composites are inexpensive to install, extremely corrosion-resistant, and well-suited
to increased operating pressures.
Composites are made by matrix combination of different materials. The most
commonly used composites are formed by combining epoxy, phenolic, or polymer
(polyethylene, poly-vinyl-denefluoride, and polyamide) matrix with glass fibers,
carbon fibers, or aramid fibers.

Composites in Oil and Gas Market: Applications
Glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are used in piping systems for
applications such as oil exploration, desalination, chemical plants, fire mains,
dredging, and portable water. They enable the piping systems to withstand highly
corrosive fluids at various temperatures, pressures, and in adverse weather and soil
conditions.
Composite grinds/gratings perform better than traditional, metallic grinds/gratings,
due to their superior properties under harsh environments in the chemical process
industry. They are preferred due to their ability to overcome limitations with respect
to weight, corrosion resistance, durability, and lifecycle costs.
Composite ladders are stronger than wood or aluminum and they do not rot,
corrode, or absorb water.
During the construction of a riser (a pipeline that connects the rig of water surface
to the well bore at seabed), thermoplastic polymer matrix reinforced with glass or
