GE Oil & Gas has signed contracts totaling more than USD 15 million to provide subsea systems to Centrica Energy Upstream of Aberdeen for use in projects in the North Sea and the Irish Sea. GE reported at Offshore Europe 2011 that it will supply 4 SVXT subsea tree systems for fields in the UK Southern North Sea gas basin and the East Irish Sea, and one MVXT system for use in the UK Central North Sea. The SVXT subsea tree merges horizontal and vertical tree technology, reducing weight by 20%, decreasing height, and also delivering essential functionality in a pre-engineered, pre-configured modular style. Low-cost installation is achieved through a design that enables deployment using standard offshore jack-up drilling rigs without the need for major modifications. The MVXT Tree system will be deployed in the Central North Sea and is a standard structured M-Series Vertical Subsea Tree, Nominal 18-3/4in – 5in x 2in 10K system.
