Norway-based AKOFS Offshore has selected Allspeeds’s Webtool emergency disconnection tools (EDT) for its subsea equipment orientation system (SOES) for installing subsea trees.
As the vessel drifts off-station, the Webtool EDTs that are integrated within the SOES provide quick disconnection of the bundles of hydraulic jumpers and electrical flying leads.

The SOES is deployed on the Skandi Santos subsea equipment support vessel and enables installation of subsea trees in a short amount of time.
In an emergency, the EDT will cut a bundle of 10,000psi hydraulic jumpers linked to the SOES to a subsea tree stack in a single operation.
Allspeeds has supplied four disconnection tools for AKOFS Offshore’s SOES system.
