nergy Egypt held its first online webinar on September 24 to discuss the latest updates on the prevalent debate on Spoolable Composite Pipeline (SCP) and Steel Pipelines (SP). The Webinar titled “The Economical Benefits of SCP vs Steel”, was organized by Energy Egypt and Shawcor, giving industry experts’ insight into the matter.
The webinar was moderated by Aidan McKay, General Manager of Energy Egypt. The esteemed speakers at the webinar were Amr Tawfiq, Maintenance General Manager at Petradora & West Bakr; Marco Arams, International Field Operations Manager at Shawcor Composite Solution; Khaled Marmour, Shawcor’s Regional Sales Manager; and Jonathan Gibson, VP for Business Development. The application of these pipes can be found at oilfields and are used for: oil and gas gathering lines, water injection, and wastewater. Due to the inert layer of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), the SCPs can handle all types of materials. The webinar provided an insight into the undeniable benefits of SCP and how this technology is saving money and enhancing performance compared to SP. The four main areas of discussion were: product characteristics, reducing product ownership, the installation process, and cost benefits. The West Bakr case study helped to elucidate the clear benefits of Shawcor’s product.
