We offer much more than a collection of individually 
proven subsea products. GE’s Power Conversion 
business provides a complete electrification offering 
for the oil and gas sector. Our flexible, fully integrated 
systems optimize overall field performance in the 
most extreme conditions – delivering mission-critical 
safety, efficiency and reliability in subsea power 
transmission and electrical distribution, processing, 
separation and boosting. And we are continually 
expanding capabilities for longer step-outs, deeper 
fields, more boost, more challenging fluids and 
higher performance. 
Our expertise is based on significant R&D 
investment, extensive testing, close collaboration 
with customers and unparalleled in-field 
experience – including installations like the 
pioneering Troll C subsea separation and boosting 
station that has processed hundreds of thousands 
of barrels since we delivered it in 1999. 
Subsea developers rely on our broad range of 
expert support services, including design and 
engineering, construction and testing, calculations 
and analysis, in-field production monitoring, 
erosion modeling, thermal analysis and 
operations training based on best practices and 
our engineering experience at some of the most 
challenging deepwater fields around the world. 
Riser, flowlines, fluid transfer lines and jumpers 
are critical to offshore oil and gas production 
systems. They are subject to extreme 
temperatures, pressures, physical stresses and 
corrosive materials  - yet must still ensure reliable 
connections and optimal product flow.
Our portfolio draws on more than 20 years of 
research and development, material science and 
installation experience in some of the harshest 
conditions the industry has to offer  - particularly 
where water depth and seabed conditions impose 
unusual restrictions.
Our products are robust, highly flexible and 
adaptable to unique project requirements, offering 
proven reliability in highly corrosive conditions. 
Every Wellstream product is customized to meet 
the specific requirements of each project.
Blue-C
 subsea compressor
Blue-C is the first subsea gas compression solution, 
piloted in 900 m (3,000 ft) of water at the massive 
Ormen Lange natural gas field after years of 
rigorous staged testing and refinement. Designed 
for years of continuous, maintenance-free subsea 
operation, the module includes a proven ICL 
centrifugal compressor driven by a gas-filled, 
high-speed electric motor, stacked in a vertical 
orientation and packaged in a single-sealed 
housing designed to withstand the surrounding 
hydrostatic pressure. The entire unit is NACE 
compliant.
An established portfolio
Risers - dynamic lines suspended in the water 
column connecting production facilities to subsea 
infrastructure
Flowlines - static pipelines used to carry fluids on 
the seabed
Fluid transfer lines - typically large diameter 
pipelines connecting two structures which are 
often dynamic
Jumpers - short lengths of pipe connecting two 
fixed structures either above or below water
Integrity management
Utilizing a wide range of monitoring technologies, 
including the specialized magnetic technology 
developed by MAPS Technology Limited, we deliver 
a detailed description of the service history, future 
performance and remaining service life of flexible 
pipeline structures. 
Key benefits
•  Reduced operational, safety and  
environmental risk
•  Enhanced asset life and production availability
•  Reduced costs through predictive maintenance
•  Extension of service life by preventing 
premature retirement of assets as a result of 
conservative fatigue assessments
•  Ability to retrofit inspection and monitoring 
systems to existing risers and flowlines without 
compromising integrity
•  Possibility of re-using existing pipe at  
different locations
Subsea Wellhead Systems 
Our subsea wellhead systems provide 
mission-critical reliability as operators 
push past the boundaries of 10,000-ft 
waters, 30,000-ft wells and all the 
extreme pressures, temperatures and 
risks that go with the territory. 
With more than 40 years of in-field 
experience we now have over 1,000 
systems installed worldwide including 
our MS-700, the most widely used 
subsea wellhead in the world; our 
MS-800 FullBore system for enhanced 
structural support in the most extreme 
deepwater applications; and our 
SlimBore systems with many drill-
through scenarios for improved 
completion cycles and use with older, 
lower-capacity rigs.
Key features of the MS-800 FullBore 
wellhead system include:
•  8 million lbs of load capacity rating
•  2 million lbs of casing hanger running 
tool capacity
•  High-capacity 16" below-mudline 
system with MS sealing 
•  515 bar (7,500 psi) annulus sealing 
capability
•  VX2/VT2 gasket profile: 1,035 bar 
(15,000 psi) rating @ 121ºC (250ºF) 
(VX2 is PSL4 gas qualified)
•  Dual metal-to-metal gasket sealing
•  Optional 1.5 MM lbs lockdown 
capacity
Specialty Connectors & Pipe
GE’s portfolio of VetcoGray specialty 
connectors and pipe is used around the world 
for a complete range of fixed and floating 
applications. We offer both threaded and 
snap connectors. All are precision connection 
systems that simplify make-up of large 
diameter casing to save valuable rig time. 
They are relied upon for challenging drilling 
projects including highly deviated wells, gas 
wells and high current environments with 
fatigue loadings. 
floating Production Systems
We provide a full range of VetcoGray drilling and production 
systems for Spar and TLP applications in water depths of 
3,000 m (10,000 ft) and beyond. Our advanced designs and 
materials withstand extreme pressures, torque and other 
mechanical stresses in order to ensure strong seals and 
resistance to highly corrosive product mixtures.
Our portfolio includes:
•  Adjustable drilling riser (ADR) hanger system
•  Drilling riser joints and couplings
•  Internal drilling riser tiebacks
•  Riser tensioner systems
•  Tendon connectors and handling equipment
