FMC Technologies leads the industry in subsea all-electric technology, with field-proven subsea experience operating multiple chokes and manifolds on installed production wells since 2001.
An electric-actuated subsea system enables precise valve control, providing optimum flow and production. For advanced applications like intervention, workover and processing, FMC's electric controls system allows for increased response time and advanced sequence control. It also reduces the possibility of disconnects. Our electric technology is well suited for a large number of subsea applications:
- Long-distance tiebacks
- Production and water-injection wells
- Chokes
- Manifold valves
- Valve actuator retrofits
- Process control valves for subsea separation
- Anti-surge valves for subsea gas compression
All-electric systems provide more rapid and accurate equipment performance and eliminate the need for larger and more expensive hydraulic and electro-hydraulic umbilicals. The environmental benefits are equally compelling, as the need for and disposal of hydraulic fluids is eliminated.
