C-FER Technologies successfully completed a demanding test program on a large diameter flexible offshore riser for TECHNIP-CSO. The riser, which is designed to transport hydrocarbons from the seabed to a floating production vessel, was subjected to more than 1,500,000 load cycles using C-FER's full-scale Tubular Testing System (TTS).

The test program simulated worst-case wave and current conditions that the riser is expected to endure over the duration of its design life. The riser is intended for service offshore in water depths greater than 1000 metres.
