PENSACOLA, FL., August 23, 2007 – DeepGulf’s radical J-Flex design does not articulate its tower to match the angle of departure. J-Flex patented technology has a system that is founded on a 360 foot fixed tower with a structural system that flexes the pipe to match the angle of departure. Use of a non-articulating tower to hold strings of up to 9 near-vertical pipes in position gives the pipeline the required departure angle and allows a weathervaning rotation of the facility. By not articulating the tower, DeepGulf can build it light and very tall. This system’s 360’ stroke will deliver the fastest lay rate in ultra-deep water oil and gas developments.
“The non-articulating tower and flexed pipe system is a simplification over existing J-Lay systems that reduces vulnerability to the elements and increases productivity. This is just one part of a revolutionary design capable of laying big pipe (36 inch) in ultra-deep waters (12,000 foot). Big, deep, and fast will create new economic models in the ultra-deep offshore oil and gas industry.” says Rus Howard, Chairman, DeepGulf, referring to the J-Flex ability to lay 36" pipe in 12,000 feet of water.
