Innovative Subsea Test Manifold Saves Time, Money

The testing operations were to be conducted in standard industry fashion by using a vessel-based downline spread. This meant the vessel would need to remain connected to the flowlines via the downline throughout the test period, adding to client cost. EnerMech Process, Pipelines & Umbilicals Director, Les Graves, said: “We suggested an alternative to the client, using our Subsea Test Manifold (STM) combined with a data logger as an interface between the downline and flowlines for the proposed testing operations. “We previously used this sys
