Abstract: A method and apparatus for storing at least one fluid, and a flexible fluid storage pipe are disclosed. The method comprises: via a production device, providing a desired quantity of at least one fluid to be stored; transporting the quantity of fluid from the production device into at least one flexible pipe member via at least one fluid import region of the flexible pipe member, the flexible pipe member being windable around a spool element and comprising an inner fluid retaining layer that defines a bore region of the flexible pipe member, an outer sheath disposed over and coaxial with the inner fluid retaining layer and at least one composite reinforcement layer comprising helically wound fibre reinforced thermoplastic tapes that is disposed between the inner fluid retaining layer and the outer sheath; closing the fluid import region of the flexible pipe member to thereby retain the quantity of fluid in the bore region of the flexible pipe member; and storing the quantity of fluid at a first pressure in the bore region.
