Oil and Gas Industries
Thermoplastic Carbon fibres when measured against steel and other traditional products offers less weight, more stiffness and strength to enable deepwater oil and gas systems to operate at depths unreachable with traditional materials. Couple these properties with the inherently fire-resistant properties of thermoplastic carbon fiber materials, one can easily see why offshore drilling for the oil and gas industry is greatly impacted by the advent of thermoplastic carbon fiber as a resource for unique applications.High exploration and development risk costs are mitigated by the cost-effective nature of carbon fibers. For both deep and ultra-deepwater applications, carbon fiber is a great alternative to steel and other more traditional materials.
