HOUSTON – OneSubsea, a Schlumberger company, has contracted Oceaneering International to supply the first-ever 20,000 psi-rated subsea hydraulic junction plates and associated connection hardware for Chevron’s Anchor field development in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
The company will oversee the design, engineering, and production of the hydraulic connection hardware along with integrated flying lead assemblies and installation equipment. A portion of the order has already been delivered to OneSubsea, Oceaneering said.
Located in the Green Canyon area, Anchor is the first 20,000 psi-rated field to be developed in the Gulf of Mexico.
Sebastian Hennings, Plant Supply Chain Manager, OneSubsea, said: “The Chevron Anchor project – awarded under the 20-year subsea master services agreement for the Gulf of Mexico – is Industry’s first fully integrated subsea production system rated up to 20,000 psi.”
Nuno Sousa, VP, Manufactured Products, Energy, at Oceaneering, added: “This 20,000 psi-rated subsea hydraulic connection hardware solves one of the industry’s biggest challenges in developing high-pressure fields and allows operators to explore deeper depths more safely. The new design provides a highly-reliable and robust solution based on our field-proven M Series junction plates of which there are more than 6,000 in operation globally.”
The plates meet API 17F and have been thoroughly tested to meet all project and field requirements, according to the company.
