DeepOcean as the project owner and its five partners have launched a joint industry project to commercialize an innovative subsea flowline heating technology designed to reduce manufacturing and installation costs by up to 35% and carbon emissions by 30% through the separation of pipeline and heating installation.

FlowHeat is said to simplify subsea flowline heating by enabling cables installation after the pipeline is laid, as well as considers an alternative option of installing the cables in a reeled pipeline.
