FOGT Secures Connector Supply Contract In The U.S. Gulf Of Mexico

Freudenberg Oil & Gas Technologies (FOGT)) has been awarded a connector supply contract from McDermott and Shell to provide Optima® Vertical Landing System (OVLS) for the Whale project in the U.S Gulf of Mexico (GoM). 

The Optima® Vertical Landing System (OVLS) is used in many subsea operating systems for jumpers, flow lines and export lines. Typically used in deeper water, these systems allow for easy connection where height is less of an issue (e.g., no snagging of trawler nets). Common locations for these connections are on Xmas Trees, Manifolds, Gas-Lift Modules, PLEM’s & PLET’s and export line connections.

Chris Lee, FOGT Vice President, High Integrity Connectors, said: “We appreciate McDermott and Shell’s trust in our ability to deliver integrated products and processes that enable consistent and efficient work scopes. We are excited to continue to provide support for the Whale project and look forward to building upon our collaborative relationship with our valued client.”
