Oscilay process speeds production, cuts cost of long-length umbilicals

摘要

CNOOC HAS SANCTIONED the first commercial run of a new umbilical manufacturing method for a subsea tieback project in the South China Sea. Aker Solutions' Oscilay machine will produce the static sections of the Liuhua 16-2 power umbilicals, part of a package of more than 115 km (71.5 mi) of dynamic and static power umbilicals the company is supplying that will connect wells at the deepwater Liuhua 16-2, 20-2 and 21-2 gas-condensate fields to a new FPSO. Aker Solutions is currently constructing a new building to house the Oscilay closing line.
