Our first subsea tree was installed in 1963 and we 
now have close to 1,400 tree systems operating 
across every major production basin in the 
world.
GE’s subsea tree portfolio covers all applications 
from single-well satellites in shallow water, 
to large and complex multi-well deepwater 
developments  – from low-pressure reservoirs 
with artificial stimulation or lift, to high-pressure 
high-temperature (HPHT) applications. Current 
capabilities include depths to 3,000 m (10,000 ft) 
and reservoir shut-in conditions of 121ºC (250ºF) 
and 1,035 bar (15,000 psi); and we are continually 
evolving technologies that enable moves into 
even deeper waters and more challenging 
environments. 
Field-proven designs include a standard core 
structure as the foundation for each tree, to which 
pre-engineered modular components (e.g. choke, 
meter and valve options) are added to deliver the 
configuration that best meets specific project 
needs. 
Our subsea manifolds and connection systems 
accommodate a wide range of configuration 
needs and service requirements. Their optimized 
size and weight provide high versatility for pipelay 
vessels and installation scenarios. 
With over 20 years of experience in this 
product category and more than 100 GE Oil 
& Gas manifolds now operating, our portfolio 
spans some of the most challenging subsea 
developments in the world – including the largest 
deepwater fields, demanding large-bore gas 
delivery projects, long step-out developments and 
critical flow-assurance applications.
Our expertise covers everything from FEED, 
detailed design, sourcing and manufacturing to 
global installation campaigns and life-of-field 
optimization support and maintenance.

Reliability in any water depth
With over 30 years of experience in subsea 
controls and more than 1,000 VetcoGray 
subsea control modules now operating, our 
portfolio spans some of the most ambitious and 
challenging subsea developments in the world – 
including the world’s longest subsea tieback and 
some of the largest deepwater fields.
Our products and expertise deliver power and 
communications technologies for subsea-to-shore 
applications for distances greater than 100 km. 
Modular designs provide retrofit flexibility to inject 
the advantages of newer technology and extend 
the life of mature fields. Our topside-to-subsea 
communications maximize bandwidth while 
minimizing system costs. The newly developed 
intelligent line-insulation monitoring unit ensures 
continuous status monitoring of seabed umbilical 
electrical cores. System features reduce capital 
and installation costs by minimizing the number of 
umbilical supply lines needed.
We operate to the highest standards of safety for 
people and the environment, employing rigorous 
test, audit and review procedures in everything 
we do – minimizing risk at all stages and 
maintaining greater than 99% system availability 
year after year.
VetcoGray ModPod
This series of highly versatile, field-proven, 
multiplexed, electro-hydraulic (mux E-H) subsea 
control modules is ideal for both tree-mounted 
and manifold-mounted applications. ModPod 
is one of the most technologically advanced 
components available, providing ultra-reliable 
control and monitoring of subsea valves and 
instrumentation. Its compact and configurable 
design satisfies even 
the most challenging 
and project-specific 
requirements. 
VetcoGray SemStar5
This award-winning, fifth-generation subsea 
electronics module draws on over 30 years of 
subsea experience. Flexibility is optimized by 
an internal Ethernet data bus supporting TCP/
IP with flexible subsea communications options. 
Durability is qualified beyond the requirements of 
ISO13628 Part 6 2006, and highly accelerated life 
testing (HALT) program validates ruggedness and 
reliability. Reliability features include single board 
computer, minimized internal wiring, simplified 
press fit connectors, built-in diagnostics for each 
functional circuit board, and redundant internal 
power and communication busses. SemStar5 
offers backwards compatibility for legacy subsea 
electronics modules and built-in obsolescence 
management strategies for electronic 
components. Its interfaces meet and exceed 
industry standard SIIS (Levels 1, 2 and 3) and IWIS.
