OTC: Nexans’ New Subsea Umbilical Termination Assembly

Nexans is at OTC 2015 to launch its next generation SUTA-FLEX Subsea Umbilical Termination Assembly.

SUTA-FLEX is designed to work in combination with Nexans’ range of umbilicals to provide a complete, single source solution that enables oil and gas customers to benefit from more efficient and cost-effective project execution.

A Subsea Umbilical Termination Assembly is an electro-hydraulic system that enables multiple wells to be controlled by a single one umbilical by connecting a number of subsea control modules to the same communications, electrical and hydraulic supply lines.

According to the company, the Nexans SUTA-FLEX concept offers a flexible modular design, based on standardized features that fit easily within the perimeters of the reel. It is also compact and allows a wide range of tensioners to be used for installation and is developed to withstand high pressure and ultra deep waters (up to 15,000 psi and 10,000 feet). SUTA-FLEX is supplied with field proven Nexans Electrical Field Installable Termination Assembly (FITA) and Fiber Optic Termination Unit (FOTU).
