Under the MoU, the two companies are creating a subsea, end-to-end jumper connection solution without flange which reduces the risk of leaks and simplifies the installation process. UNITECH’s connector will be integrated with Strohm’s TCP end-fitting, creating a flange-less interface.
The collaboration marks a significant step toward delivering more integrated and efficient technologies for industries that rely on robust transportation systems. By combining Strohm’s expertise in flexible TCP Jumpers with UNITECH state of the art subsea connector technology, the two companies aim to provide a comprehensive product offering to meet the diverse needs of the energy sector.
Strohm’s TCP is collapse resistant to 3000 m water depth, and resistant to fatigue-based failures, making it a perfect choice for any dynamic subsea application, from jumpers to flowlines and risers, including sweet and sour hydrocarbon, water, and gas service. The solution is fully non-metallic and corrosion resistant.
UNITECH Offshore UH-500 Series connectors are designed for pressures up to 15k psi and can be used for a range of subsea applications including gas lift, acid injection, scale squeeze, methanol / MEG injection and electrical connections.
Strohm’s CEO Martin van Onna commented: “This partnership reinforces our commitment to providing customers with comprehensive and sustainable transportation solutions. By joining forces with UNITECH Offshore, we develop an integrated system that not only simplifies installation, but also ensures long-lasting flange-less performance in the most challenging conditions.”
Frode Hellesøe, CEO of UNITECH Offshore, commented: “This collaboration underscores our commitment to advancing subsea connectivity with engineered simplicity. By integrating our robust, installation-friendly UH-500 Series connector with Strohm’s thermoplastic composite pipe, we are providing a seamless, flange-less system that further enhances installation efficiency while ensuring reliable, high-pressure performance across a wide range of subsea applications.”
