Subsea umbilicals supplier JDR has been awarded a contract for intervention, workover and control systems (IWOCS) by Aker Solutions Subsea Division. The value of the deal has not be disclosed.
The project – which is scheduled for delivery in summer 2016 – will include the first deployment of JDR’s Mark II Reeler.
The reeler design is said to deliver significant reduction in size versus conventional reelers, saving deck space, as well as a lower weight for lifting and handling.
JDR chief executive said: “The new design provides easier access to control panels within the reeler, enabling safer operations offshore. We are delighted to partner with Aker Solutions on this project.”
The scope of supply includes two x 1,200 metre umbilicals, which provide annulus circulation function to subsea systems.
The umbilicals will be manufactured at JDR’s state-of-the-art facility in Littleport, UK, while the reelers will be designed and manufactured at JDR’s facility in Newcastle, UK before delivery to JDR’s Littleport facility for in-house integration and testing.
