Hongruntong Armored Hose Enables High Pressure Crude Oil Transfer on Offshore Oil Rig

Hongruntong Armored Hose Enables High Pressure Crude Oil Transfer on Offshore Oil Rig

Client Profile

A major international oil company (name withheld for confidentiality) operating in the North Sea faced persistent failures of legacy transfer hoses on their offshore drilling platform. The existing hoses frequently ruptured under high-pressure (38MPa) crude oil transfer operations while enduring seawater corrosion and extreme weather conditions.

Key Challenges

Existing hoses suffered steel wire layer fractures/external cracking every 3 months

Each replacement caused production shutdowns costing ~$120,000/day

Accelerated rubber degradation in marine environment created leakage risks

Hongruntong's Solution

Dual-layer 304 stainless steel wire braiding (40% higher tensile strength vs standard)

Polyurethane anti-corrosion outer coating + NBR oil-resistant inner lining

API 17K certified with 76MPa burst pressure rating

Innovative Features

Triple-seal + anti-rotation lock fittings

Embedded RFID chips for real-time stress monitoring

Performance Results

Service Life: Extended from 3 to 18+ months (still in operation)

Cost Savings: $2.1M annual maintenance reduction with 23 fewer downtime days/year

Safety Achievement: Zero leakage incidents, passed 2023 Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority audit

Client Testimonial

"Hongruntong engineers conducted 6 months of field condition analysis. What they delivered wasn't just a product, but a complete pressure management system. These hoses have become standard for our mission-critical equipment."
