U.S. manufacturer of drilling and production equipment Dril-Quip has completed the installation of subsea trees at a Woodside-operated oil and gas field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
In a statement issued on 21 April, Dril-Quip announced the installation and completion of two 15,000 psi HorizontalBore subsea trees at the Shenzi North oil and gas field in collaboration with controls technology company Proserv.
According to the Texas-headquartered company, the 15,000 psi HorizontalBore subsea tree is the latest modular designed subsea production system that accommodates numerous completion configuration possibilities.
It is said to offer the flexibility of running and pulling the upper completion without disturbing the tree-to-wellhead connection or the flowline connection to the tree.
