Loose steel tube flying lead orders
Deep Down, Inc, an oilfield services
company specialising in complex
deepwater and ultra-deepwater oil
production distribution system support
services, has been awarded two loose
steel tube flying lead (LSFL) orders
worth in excess of $3mn. One order was
placed by a major controls OEM, and
the other directly by an independent
oil and gas, exploration and production
group.
A total of 27 flying leads and ancillary
equipment will be delivered in the first
half of 2012. The flying leads will be
deployed in water depths up to 1,300m
off the coasts of northwest Australia
and Ghana. Given the scope of supply
and the delivery method, Deep Down
also anticipates additional work from
the associated installation contractors
during the installation phase.
Deep Down’s LSFL technology is robust
yet installation friendly. The patent-
pending Moray
®
termination system
contains a lightweight and compact
termination head and very flexible steel
tube bundle, allowing for easy make up
of the heads by the ROV on the ocean
floor. This technology, coupled with
Deep Down’s innovative deployment
methods, reduces the time on bottom
and hence connection cycle time. Deep
Down also offers integrated buoyancy in
its flying lead heads for better handling
and work-over intervention scenarios,
where it is more advantageous to
deploy a smaller ROV from the platform,
as opposed to mobilising a vessel with
a work class ROV.
CEO Ron Smith stated, “Customers are
recognising that flying leads, although
insignificant in cost compared to
the rest of the distribution system,
represent a bigger challenge to install
than simple mud mats. Working in tight
quarters and trying to manipulate stiff
and heavy flying leads is a challenge;
the loose steel tube bundle is the key
to effortless make up. These orders
mark a shift in customer perception
and have recognised our success on
previous projects. We are confident
in this technology and have strong
indications from many of our clients
that this is the technology of choice
going forward. We will continue to
expand this product line.”
Deep Down’s services and technological
solutions include distribution system
installation support and engineering
services, umbilical terminations, loose
tube steel flying leads, distributed and
drill riser buoyancy, ROVs and tooling,
marine vessel automation, control, and
ballast systems. The company supports
subsea engineering, installation,
commissioning, and maintenance
projects through specialised service
teams and engineered technological
solutions.
