Subsea Oil & Gas Equipment
Subsea Connectors for Oil and Gas Equipment
Subsea oil and gas infrastructure -- wellheads, Christmas trees, manifolds, umbilicals, and ROV tooling -- operates at extreme depths, pressures, and temperatures, often for decades between intervention. RV Power Group supplies wet-mate and dry-mate subsea connectors, penetrators, and cable assemblies for the full range of subsea oil and gas applications, from shallow-water platform risers to ultra-deepwater (3,000+ m) tieback systems.
Subsea O&G Electrical Connection Points
| Equipment | Connector Function | Series Used |
|---|---|---|
| Subsea Control Module (SCM) | Hydraulic, electrical, and fiber optic flying leads | Circular Standard, Hybrid Opto-Electric |
| Subsea Distribution Unit (SDU) | Power distribution, signal multiplexing | High-Power, Ethernet connectors |
| Electric Actuators (EWA/ECA) | Valve actuator power and position feedback | Micro Circular, Circular Standard |
| Subsea Chemical Injection | Solenoid valve and flow meter control | Micro Circular Connectors |
| Intervention Tooling (ROV) | Torque tool, hot stab, panel interfaces | 55 Series, Circular Standard |
| Pressure Housing Bulkheads | Electrical penetrations through metal housings | Penetrators (split-type) |
Deepwater Performance Requirements
- Depth rating: 3,000 m standard; 7,000 m available for ultra-deepwater projects
- Temperature range: -10 deg C to +90 deg C (low-temperature variants for Arctic deployments)
- Material compatibility: Seawater, H2S-laden fluids, injection chemicals (methanol, MEG)
- Shell options: 316L stainless steel, duplex SS, titanium Grade 5
- O-ring material: Viton(R) for hydrocarbon and chemical compatibility
- Qualification testing: NACE MR0175 (H2S service) available
ROV Intervention Connectors for Oil & Gas
Production tree panels and control modules require wet-mateable connectors that ROV manipulators can mate and demate routinely on the seafloor. RV Power Group supplies 55-Series connectors that are geometrically identical to SubConn(R) 55 Series, the industry standard for ROV-deployed hot-make connections on subsea equipment. These connectors feature:
- Large-OD shells (easy ROV manipulator grip)
- ROV-deployable torque retention mechanism
- Color-coded dummy plugs for incorrect-mate prevention
- Rated to 700 bar working pressure
Compatible Product Series
- Subsea Circular Standard Connectors
- Subsea 55 Series (industry-standard ROV intervention)
- High-Power Underwater Connectors
- Subsea Hybrid Opto-Electric Connectors
- Subsea Ethernet & Data Connectors
- Split-Type Connectors & Penetrators
