Electrical submersible pumps — Electrical submersible pumps have been established for over half a century, producing large volumes of hydrocarbons where natural drive mechanisms do not exist. The pumps are usually multi-staged centrifugal pumps driven by a downhole motor.

Multiphase pumping — Enhanced oil recovery for fields in deep water or with long stepouts can be achieved using subsea multiphase pump systems. Electric power to the subsea system is supplied through a subsea cable which is terminated to a high voltage – low current connector. This in turn is terminated to a stepdown transformer.

Pipe line heating — To provide the high power required for direct current injection Flowline Heating, Tronic developed a wet mateable electrical connector system. Rated to 1.9kV, 1100A single-phase, they are capable of being connected by ROV at depths of 2,000m (6,500 feet) at the mudline.

Subsea processing — Our subsea processing system can substantially lower capital costs for deepwater oil and gas developments, while improving well productivity and recovery. It can be a solution to recovering oil from small deposits, making small fields economically viable and increasing reserve recovery in large fields.

Subsea power distribution — Our 14kV 200A Dry Mate Electrical Connector forms part of a standard subsea electrical distribution system. With voltages of up to 14kV 3 phase being generated topside and transmitted via a sub sea umbilical cable, the Tronic 14kV connector makes the connection to a sub sea step-down transformer.

Subsea trees & controls — The subsea tree is the primary well control module providing a mechanism for flow control and well entry. Typically, the subsea tree is controlled through a multi-plexed electro-hydraulic control system. The functions of a tree are activated and monitored through a SCM (Subsea Control Module). Typically this module is interfaced to the control system via Tronic pod base connectors.

Umbilical termination assembly — A multi-plexed electro-hydraulic system allows many subsea control modules to be connected to the same communications, electrical and hydraulic supply lines. The result is that many wells can be controlled via one umbilical, which is terminated at an Umbilical Termination Assembly (UTA) stabplate. From the UTA, the connections to the individual wells and SCMs are made with jumper assemblies.

Ocean bottom seismic — Ocean Bottom Seismic systems provide life of field seismic data which can be a key information source for effective reservoir management. The monitoring of fluid movements and hydrocarbon contacts can identify reservoir zones that are not being drained.

Intelligence well completion — An intelligent well is a generic term covering advanced monitoring and control systems in oil wells. This area of development provides particular benefits to subsea wells due to the high intervention costs to obtain reservoir information or to undertake conventional completion modifications.
