Russia is Developing Subsea Production Systems
specifically in natural gas liquefaction projects. Subsea production systems enable hydrocarbon production in severe climatic conditions, even under ice, without the use of platforms or other above-water facilities. Gazprom is the currently only Russian company employing subsea production technologies, with a subsea production system to develop the Kirinskoye gas and condensate field in the Sea of Okhotsk, within the Sakhalin III project. Gazprom noted that Russian companies are already capable of producing the bulk of equipment and materials for such projects. Domestic producers
Improved Surface Technologies for Large Hydraulic Cylinders
developed has been developed by DNV in the Joint Industry Project in which Bosch Rexroth has played a prominent role. With more than 50 years of experience and service data feedback from the largest installed cylinder base in the world, combined with an extensive research program and the newest production technologies, Rexroth sets new engineering and production standards for surface technologies in large hydraulic cylinders. Enduroq 3200 is an extension of the already existing in-house technologies for piston rods of large hydraulic cylinders. These solutions include the existing Enduroq 3000, a
