During Installation we truly connect it all together with our industry-leading connection technology and installation services. Achieve installation efficiency and production reliability with our broad portfolio of solutions including spread & turret mooring, turret connections, pull-in systems, critical subsea and hull connections, as well as complete production riser systems.
FlexJoint™ Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) Connections and Receptacles
Our flagship FlexJoint™ SCR connections and receptacles provide essential bending moment reduction while allowing riser deflection and safe transfer of high loads to hull. We have the most extensive track record with world’s first flexible joint connections for drilling and production with over 4600 supplied globally.
Skagit™ Spread or Turret Mooring Systems
Whether spread or turret moored, Oil States supports FPSO operators to secure the vessel and connect production with a full line of Skagit™ SMATCO mooring systems and ancillary marine equipment known for the highest quality and reliability. We provide assurance that your FPSO is secure.
Custom Riser Pull-in & Handling Equipment
We design, build, and test custom riser pull-in and handling equipment for our customers’ unique applications. On Chevron Jack St. Malo we supplied a system which required full movement of a work wire winch and chain locker/handling assembly around the moonpool to correctly orient SCR’s during pull-in.
Piper™ Compact Turret Valves & Manifolds
Piper™ compact valves significantly reduce topside or turret manifold footprints, providing up to 40% space and 70% weight savings versus traditional flanged end ball valves. These valves are designed for unprocessed fluids at a full range of pressures providing extreme durability and extended service life.
Merlin™ Advanced Tubular Riser Turret Connections
Oil States Merlin™ connections provide a solid alternative for connecting risers to turret. With non-rotational makeup and dual metal-to-metal seals, the connector can be safely and rapidly assembled, offers a high level of pre-load, and ensures exceptional fatigue performance even in the harshest of environments.
Elastomeric Turret Bearings
Since 1942, Oil States has led as a developer, designer, and manufacturer of elastomeric compounds and solutions for noise and vibration mitigation as well as dynamic load transfer to minimize stresses and strains. Our elastomeric bearings isolate turret structures from dynamic loads extending service life.
Subsea Pipeline & Flowline Systems
Subsea, with export pipeline & flowline technology from PLET to FPSO we tie it all together with turnkey structures for new installations and tiebacks. We set the standard in subsea quality and reliability with connectors that are still in service after more than 35 years.
Rigid Riser, Free-Standing Hybrid Riser Systems
Free-standing hybrid riser (FSHR) systems are proven solutions for deepwater production. We provide complete FSHR systems to optimize the PLET to FPSO interface with our easy install RotoLatch™/RotoLok™ connections, Merlin™ riser connections, subsea collet and multi-segment clamp connectors, off-take spools, and upper & lower riser assemblies.
Merlin™ SCR Mechanical Connection Risers
Merlin™ SCR connections can cut your installation costs by up to 60%. The connections offer automated hands-free fast make-up in 50 seconds, dual gas-tight metal-to-metal seals, world-leading high-load and high-fatigue capacity, and are ideal for low-cost flowline tieback without the need for a pipelay vessel.
Lynx™ & Barracuda™ Bend Stiffener Connections
Extend the life of your flexibles with our flexible riser connection solutions. We offer cost-effective, high-bending-capacity, diverless Lynx™ and Barracuda™ BSC pull-in connectors. Proven in extreme environments, these connections safely and reliably connect flexibles and umbilicals to FPU.
Polyurethane Bend Stiffeners & Bend Restrictors
With flexible pipe systems, careful consideration of all the dynamic loads expected over the life of the asset is required. RiserTec’s global riser analysis capabilities coupled with Oil States’ supply of dynamic bend stiffeners and bend restrictors can improve installability and fatigue life of flexible pipe systems.
Offshore Installation Support
Beyond the upfront installation analysis, Oil States provides dedicated installation support for all types of connections and systems for FPSO & SURF with local personnel available in all offshore basins. We work where you work. Around the world, around the clock.
