POWER & PROCESSING
WELLSTREAM FLEXIBLE PIPE
WELLHEAD & TUBULAR SYSTEMS
We offer much more than a collection of individually
proven subsea products. GE’s Power Conversion
business provides a complete electrification offering
for the oil and gas sector. Our flexible, fully integrated
systems optimize overall field performance in the
most extreme conditions – delivering mission-critical
safety, efficiency and reliability in subsea power
transmission and electrical distribution, processing,
separation and boosting. And we are continually
expanding capabilities for longer step-outs, deeper
fields, more boost, more challenging fluids and
higher performance.
Our expertise is based on significant R&D
investment, extensive testing, close collaboration
with customers and unparalleled in-field
experience – including installations like the
pioneering Troll C subsea separation and boosting
station that has processed hundreds of thousands
of barrels since we delivered it in 1999.
Subsea developers rely on our broad range of
expert support services, including design and
engineering, construction and testing, calculations
and analysis, in-field production monitoring,
erosion modeling, thermal analysis and
operations training based on best practices and
our engineering experience at some of the most
challenging deepwater fields around the world.
Riser, flowlines, fluid transfer lines and jumpers
are critical to offshore oil and gas production
systems. They are subject to extreme
temperatures, pressures, physical stresses and
corrosive materials - yet must still ensure reliable
connections and optimal product flow.
Our portfolio draws on more than 20 years of
research and development, material science and
installation experience in some of the harshest
conditions the industry has to offer - particularly
where water depth and seabed conditions impose
unusual restrictions.
Our products are robust, highly flexible and
adaptable to unique project requirements, offering
proven reliability in highly corrosive conditions.
Every Wellstream product is customized to meet
the specific requirements of each project.
Blue-C
™
subsea compressor
Blue-C is the first subsea gas compression solution,
piloted in 900 m (3,000 ft) of water at the massive
Ormen Lange natural gas field after years of
rigorous staged testing and refinement. Designed
for years of continuous, maintenance-free subsea
operation, the module includes a proven ICL
centrifugal compressor driven by a gas-filled,
high-speed electric motor, stacked in a vertical
orientation and packaged in a single-sealed
housing designed to withstand the surrounding
hydrostatic pressure. The entire unit is NACE
compliant.
An established portfolio
Risers - dynamic lines suspended in the water
column connecting production facilities to subsea
infrastructure
Flowlines - static pipelines used to carry fluids on
the seabed
Fluidtransferlines - typically large diameter
pipelines connecting two structures which are
often dynamic
Jumpers- short lengths of pipe connecting two
fixed structures either above or below water
Integrity management
Utilizing a wide range of monitoring technologies,
including the specialized magnetic technology
developed by MAPS Technology Limited, we deliver
a detailed description of the service history, future
performance and remaining service life of flexible
pipeline structures.
Keybenets
• Reduced operational, safety and
environmental risk
• Enhanced asset life and production availability
• Reduced costs through predictive maintenance
• Extension of service life by preventing
premature retirement of assets as a result of
conservative fatigue assessments
• Ability to retrofit inspection and monitoring
systems to existing risers and flowlines without
compromising integrity
• Possibility of re-using existing pipe at
different locations
Subsea Wellhead Systems
Our subsea wellhead systems provide
mission-critical reliability as operators
push past the boundaries of 10,000-ft
waters, 30,000-ft wells and all the
extreme pressures, temperatures and
risks that go with the territory.
With more than 40 years of in-field
experience we now have over 1,000
systems installed worldwide including
our MS-700, the most widely used
subsea wellhead in the world; our
MS-800 FullBore system for enhanced
structural support in the most extreme
deepwater applications; and our
SlimBore systems with many drill-
through scenarios for improved
completion cycles and use with older,
lower-capacity rigs.
Key features of the MS-800 FullBore
wellhead system include:
• 8 million lbs of load capacity rating
• 2 million lbs of casing hanger running
tool capacity
• High-capacity 16" below-mudline
system with MS sealing
• 515 bar (7,500 psi) annulus sealing
capability
• VX2/VT2 gasket profile: 1,035 bar
(15,000 psi) rating @ 121ºC (250ºF)
(VX2 is PSL4 gas qualified)
• Dual metal-to-metal gasket sealing
• Optional 1.5 MM lbs lockdown
capacity
Specialty Connectors & Pipe
GE’s portfolio of VetcoGray specialty
connectors and pipe is used around the world
for a complete range of fixed and floating
applications. We offer both threaded and
snap connectors. All are precision connection
systems that simplify make-up of large
diameter casing to save valuable rig time.
They are relied upon for challenging drilling
projects including highly deviated wells, gas
wells and high current environments with
fatigue loadings.
Floating Production Systems
We provide a full range of VetcoGray drilling and production
systems for Spar and TLP applications in water depths of
3,000 m (10,000 ft) and beyond. Our advanced designs and
materials withstand extreme pressures, torque and other
mechanical stresses in order to ensure strong seals and
resistance to highly corrosive product mixtures.
Our portfolio includes:
• Adjustable drilling riser (ADR) hanger system
• Drilling riser joints and couplings
• Internal drilling riser tiebacks
• Riser tensioner systems
• Tendon connectors and handling equipment
