Freudenberg Oil & Gas Technologies is a global solutions provider of innovative seal solutions and differentiated products to the global oil and gas industry. We serve a wide range of customers including oil and gas producers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and engineering and service companies which utilize our technologies, products and services for producing oil and gas from land-based and offshore platforms throughout the world.

Within artificial lift, or enhanced oil recovery applications, our products and technologies are reducing lifting costs through the incorporation of next generation materials, like our Gazguard elastomers, and through improved seal designs; allowing downhole equipment to last longer. Incorporation of our Unitized Seal-lok or proprietary compact flanges, are allowing operation in higher pressure and temperature environments, exceeding 600 F and 20K psi. On the surface, our dynamic ball joints are being utilized to connect the wellhead to flow lines where it’s required to reduce pipe stress in systems that develop high bending loads due to thermal and/or mechanical movement, as seen in steam flood or SAGD applications.

Freudenberg Oil & Gas Technologies is a leader in designing and manufacturing subsea, ROV operated, pipeline clamp connectors and subsea engineered connector products. Our Vector Optima ROV operated subsea connector utilizes our Duoseal, a double metal to metal seal with internal pressure seal and external environmental seal. The Duoseal is designed to allow full insitu integrity testing of the seal ring. Vector Optima’s compact, easy to operate design gives cost effective, reliable connections, saving operators time and money. Applications utilizing our Vector Optima subsea connectors include:

• Vertical and horizontal subsea pig launcher receivers
• up to 36” large bore pipeline connectors
• small bore horizontal tie-ins
• horizontal pipe pulling heads and more.

The Vector SPO Compact Flange has superior capabilities, rated to 20K psi, it has become widely used in many high demanding applications such as oil and gas subsea deep water connections including risers, flowlines, flexibles and manifolds, and end terminations for pig launchers, traps and receivers. 

Some of most effective and economical pipe connection systems are available through our proprietary line of high integrity connector products. Our line of clamp connectors, compact flanges and dynamic ball joints are found on offshore oil & gas platforms, FPSO's; in thermal expansion applications; on flowlines; and within steam and power generation facilities. Independent strain gauge and destructive tests have shown our clamp connectors can withstand considerable bending moments/forces and axial loading under pressure without leaking or the bolts coming loose; greatly reducing maintenance costs.

We offer a variety of products utilized in Topsids applications that save weight, installation time and maintenance. Typically weighing between 70 - 82% less than a conventional flange, the Vector SPO Compact Flange is designed using state-of-the-art finite element analysis and is in full accordance with ASME VIII, Div 2 provisions and ANSI/ASME B31.3. Our Vector Techlok clamp connectors or BlueSky BlueLock clamp connectors can be installed in the time it takes to assemble a single standard ANSI or API flange. Conventional ANSI or API flanges with their 4 to 24 bolts require accurate alignment to ensure a seal, whereas Vector Techlok or BlueSky Clamp Connectors have only four bolts, no alignment problems, and require less bolt loads. Our BlueSky dynamic ball joints are designed to ASME’s codes and standards to reduce pipe stress in systems that develop high bending loads due to thermal and/or mechanical movement.
