Providing excellent protection for offshore platforms
COOEC-Fluor Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (COOEC-Fluor) is the Sino-US joint venture enterprise between COOEC, controlled by China National Offshore Oil Corporation(CNOOC) and Fluor nternational. As one of the world’s largest fabrication yards, COOEC-Fluor specializes in manufacturing floating facilities, fixed platforms, underwater products, process-modularized products, and other products used for offshore oil engineering. Since offshore oil facilities are subject to long-term and highly corrosive environments, the client needs a coating solution that can offer excellent anti-corrosion protection even in offshore corrosive environments.
Based on the needs of the client, Hempel recommended a solution with Hempaprime Strength that is designed to provide long-term protection for offshore oil & gas platforms. This product is suitable for environments with heavy corrosion such as splash zones and those with permanent immersion. Currently, Hempaprime Strength has been applied to NOOC’s offshore platforms including Huizhou 26-6, Dongfang 29-1, Panyu 10-1, Panyu 11-12, Wenchang 9-7, Wenchang 19-1, and Xijiang 30-2. It has been applied to areas including the splash zones of the jackets, atmospheric zones, and splash zones of the blocks.
The challenge

The solution
Hempel provides excellent protection for offshore platforms of COOEC-Fluor
Hempaprime Strength can be applied by airless spray. With high volume solids, it is easy to apply. It’s also a fast-drying coating which can improve production efficiency and help reduce costs. Besides, it is capable of reducing the impact on the environment and the risk of exposure for workers because of its low VOC content.
With excellent performance, Hempaprime Strength has been applied to CNOOC’s series offshore platforms including Huizhou 26-6, Dongfang 29-1, Panyu 10-1, Panyu 11-12, Wenchang 9-7, Wenchang 19-1, and Xijiang 30-2. It has been applied to areas including the splash zones of the jackets, atmospheric zones, and splash zones of the blocks, providing excellent protection for these offshore platforms in the coming years.
