Diverless Connection Systems

DMaC:

DMaC is a compact and light-weight drag-to-place system suitable for horizontal connection of flexible pipe and jumpers, as well as umbilical’s.

Designed to operate in extreme environmental conditions, the DMaC enables wet-parking of jumpers for later installation. The system provides flexible, interruptible installation with jumper, tree and manifold separately deployed in any sequence.

FTC:

Designed with the field-proven Retlock® clamp connection technology, FTC delivers a wide range of connection solutions for rigid and flexible jumpers and pipes.

Built on a proven, 25-year service track record, every FTC provides the highest reliability, adaptability and cost effectiveness. With FTC, operators can minimise their development risks while maximising the potential of each asset.

Benefits

  • Subsea seal changeout without crane operations
  • Available for fast-track delivery within 6 months
  • Offers reliable, cost-effective and adaptable installation and connection of both rigid and flexible flowline jumpers
  • Widely field-proven Retlock® clamp connection technology provides a robust clamping solution for all installations and orientations

Light weight full pressure sealing blind

 

SDDC:

Deepsea Technologies’ Stinger Deployed Diverless Connector provides a cost-effective solution to deploy connections through a pipelay stinger. The SDDC is a diverless technology designed to improve safety with smaller installation vessels and no divers.

Based on Deepsea Technologies’ proven Retlock® clamp technology, this compact system helps operators achieve a 20% cost reduction compared to conventional diver installations.

It is installable with a PLR for commissioning directly after installation.

Benefits

  • Sizes range from 4” to 16”
  • Total weight of less than 4 tonnes once installed
  • Large misalignment capability
  • Installed within 6 hours from deck to seabed
  • Subsea connection time less than 30 minutes
  • Depth rating from 3000m
  • Pull-in capacity of up to 30 tonne

VTC:

Deepsea Technologies’ Vertical Type Connector (VTC) makes effective vertical connections for either rigid or flexible jumpers, across a range of sizes.

The VTC provides clients with a compact solution that allows for reduced size and weight of the host structure while still providing large capture and misalignment capabilities during the installation list and final connection.

Benefits

  • High bending, tension and torsion capabilities, meeting the most stringent pipeline load capabilities
  • Designed for large capture and connection ability with large misalignments
  • First vertical connection system that allows wet parking of jumpers without final connection
  • Compact package translating to reduced size of host structures
  • Light weight full pressure sealing blind
  • Subsea seal changeout without crane operations
  • Time efficient ROV operations
  • Interruptible installation sequence
