What it isThe Offshore segment is defined as all equipment used in offshore drilling and production equipment that is on the water's surface. Offshore facilities are becoming more diversified as a result of vast differences in water depths and field characteristics. We offer an extensive portfolio of proven systems and products used on fixed platforms, jackup drilling rigs, floating drilling rigs, TLP/Spars and FPSOs. The Offshore Segment includes: blowout preventers, drilling systems, drillstem valves, elastomers, pulsation dampeners, subsea wellheads, surface wellheads and surface production equipment. |
How it works
Offshore drilling and production varies greatly depending on the chosen platform and the water depth of the well. Today's offshore drilling industry operates all over the world in water depths up to 300 ft (jackups), to over 10,000 ft (floaters). Wells drilled offshore can be either surface or subsea. Surface wells are drilled much like those on land where the platform acts like an artificial island. The casing is brought back to the surface and traditional land style wellhead and production equipment is used. Subsea wells are located at the sea floor and require specific drilling and production equipment.
