Tieback Connectors
FMC has a wide variety of hydraulic and mechanical tieback connectors for various Well
Access System (WAS) applications. The hydraulic connectors are designed to lock to an
internal or external profile on the subsea wellhead housing. The hydraulic tieback connectors feature hydraulic locking and unlocking by ROV, interface with the industry standard
H4 subsea wellhead profile and are positioned on the wellhead with either guidelines or
guidelineless systems.
Internal Hydraulic Tieback
FMCs internal hydraulic tieback connectors are
designed to lock into an internal profile in the FMC
UWD-15 Subsea Wellhead Housing. The reduced OD
(27) of this connector allows it to pass safely through
buoyancy cans and keel guides. This connector has a
bending moment capacity of 2.0 MM ft/lbs. with a
primary metal-to-metal seal and elastomer backups in
the production casing hanger.

Specialty Joints
FMC has provided custom designed specialty joints (Tapered Stress, Keel and Tensioner)
for numerous riser applications. These specialty joints are engineered on a project specific
basis for overall length, wall thickness and taper length. They feature custom design interface fatigue resistant compact flanges and threaded riser connections. They are constructed from steel open die forgings and designed for high fatigue applications, high fracture
toughness and large bending moments.
Tensioners
FMC offers various tensioner systems from the basic fixed lock-off riser tensioner system to
the more sophisticated hydro-pneumatic systems. These tensioner systems provide the top
tension on the riser system that is required to ensure the survival of the riser system from
the ocean currents, and waves and the motion of the floating platform relative to the riser.
