Subsea Mooring Connector Solution on Offshore Buoy

Mooring solutions

Compact, high-load subsea mooring connectors

With a failure-free track record and over 300 installations, Balltec’s subsea mooring connectors are unrivalled in their quality and are trusted by the industry’s leading operators and installation contractors.

Intervention-free connection and rapid disconnection throughout the full design life ensures that initial operational expenditure and future maintenance, replacement and decommissioning costs are significantly reduced.

MoorLOK™

MoorLOK Subsea Mooring Connector

A failure-free track record coupled with the world’s largest approved forging diameter for subsea mooring connectors ensures that the MoorLOK remains the industry-leading quick-connect moorings system.

The MoorLOK is customisable to suit project-specific interfaces and installation methodologies and has been approved for use in ABS, DNV and BV certified mooring spreads.

Helical Connector™

Helical Subsea Mooring Connector

The patented Helical Connector is a self-aligning subsea mooring connector designed for use in H-link-type mooring systems where ease of installation is a necessity.

Its helically profiled nose auto-aligns the mooring pin and pin hole to drastically reduce the time taken to connect the mating components and de-risk ROV operations during installation.

Flexible Riser Recovery Tool

Subsea Offshore Flexible Abandonment and Recovery Tool Solution

The Flexible Riser Recovery Tool (FRRT) is designed to recover flexible risers and pipelines in a cost-effective manner, and to reduce the long-term environmental impact of subsea infrastructure being left in place on the seabed.

The FRRT is designed to enable long sections of cut risers to be recovered from the seabed without the need for an end fitting / pulling head.

Easily modified

ROV operable

End fitting / pulling head not required

Adaptable to riser diameter

CoilLOK Coiled Handling Tool Coil Spool

\\        CT Handling solutions

Perfected over decades

One of the first applications for ball and taper technology was the introduction of the CoilLOK™ coiled tubing (CT) handling tool specifically designed to aid in the handling of coiled tubing.

Following the success of the CoilLOK™ where the high load and compact design is proven, Balltec has developed several further solutions for oilfield application.

Some of the recent Balltec oilfield solutions include; down-hole fishing tools, Quick Emergency Disconnect (QED) for Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA), emergency subsea casing string hang-off, drill pipe slips and drill string handling tools.
