FOGT Awarded Contract - Offshore Trinidad

Freudenberg Oil & Gas Technologies (FOGT) successfully delivered on a subsea contract to supply flexible horizontal tie-in equipment to Subsea 7 & Shell, located offshore Trinidad.

The scope of work for the contract included the provision of 12" Vector Optima® connectors with H-mode horizontal tie-in systems. The project requires both rigid and flexible tie ins and a tool package including seal cleaning, replacement, and horizontal stroke tool. Successful installation took place in early 2022.

Our Horizontal Tie-In system integrates over 20 years of offshore experience totaling over 1000 successful subsea connector installations. The project utilized Our Vector Optima® Subsea connector and FOGT patented Duoseal™ technology, which maximize operational efficiency, load capacity, and provide dual barrier sealing protection. As a result, the 4 Colibri H-Mode were installed +2.5X faster than comparable horizontal connection systems and was installed at a rate of 1 jumper every 12 hours with no complications.

Chris Lee, VP Connectors Business Group, said “The award and the subsequent performance of this project demonstrates FOGT’s ability to innovate and provide compact, reliable, cost-effective and field proven subsea connector and flexible horizontal tie-in. This contract demonstrates that the industry values the reliability of our products and the operational efficiencies they bring.”
