Navigating the Offshore Oil Extraction Industry

In recent years, offshore oil extraction has experienced a steady increase in activity. New platforms are being continuously installed in various regions around the world, often in increasingly deeper waters.
As a result, ensuring the safe and efficient connection between topside platforms, vessels, and the wellheads and pumps on the seafloor is crucial for maintaining reliable oil extraction operations.

Subsea Umbilical, Riser & Flowline FAQ

Subsea umbilical, riser, and flowline systems are utilised in various industries, including:

  • Oil and gas exploration and production
  • Construction
  • Offshore energy
  • Subsea telecommunications
The difference between subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines lies in their respective functions and roles within offshore operations:

  • Umbilicals
    Umbilicals are composite cables or hoses that provide vital connections between surface facilities and subsea equipment. They deliver essential services like power, control, and communication to subsea equipment, including valves, sensors, and subsea production systems.

  • Risers
    Risers are vertical pipelines that transport hydrocarbons (oil or gas) from subsea wells to production facilities on the surface. They carry the extracted fluids from the seabed to the topside processing units, where they undergo further treatment and separation.

  • Flowlines
    Flowlines are horizontal or slightly inclined pipelines that transport hydrocarbons from production to processing or storage facilities, carrying the extracted fluids in a controlled manner.

The SURF installation process involves several key steps and procedures. Here are the general aspects involved:

  • Planning and engineering the optimal configuration and layout of the subsea infrastructure.
  • Preparing the umbilicals, risers, and flowline components.
  • Transporting and installing the equipment at the installation site.
  • Inspecting and commissioning the equipment once the installation is completed.
