Project Description

When an Operator in Brazil approached IK Subsea with a flexible riser challenge, our Subsea engineers devised an innovative solution.

The issue was driven by a need to stabilize the flexible riser in conjunction with the in-situ offshore structure. The IK Subsea engineering team devised an innovative solution: an ROV-operated combined clamp designed for both riser sealing and riser support, boasting a remarkable 20-year lifespan. Tailored for an operational water depth of approximately 90 meters, the clamp is installed over a flexible line. Its primary functions include establishing a stable connection to the existing structure and ensuring the secure anchoring of the flexible riser.

This project showcased a distinctive packer design, rigorously tested for the first time at IK Subsea, paving the way for its incorporation in future projects.
