Flangeless Subsea Plug Launcher for Pipeline Upgrade
Balltec Engineered Solutions announced it has completed work using its subsea smart plug launcher. The flangeless subsea plug launcher technology played a critical role in Statoil’s infrastructure upgrade methodology for the Åsgard Millom pipeline. Balltec established a close working relationship with Statoil while working on a new lifting system for the Åsgard subsea gas compression project. It was during this time that Statoil asked Balltec to investigate the possibility of designing and manufacturing a subsea plug launcher to their unique specifications. The plug
