Subsea Electrical Penetrator

Overview

The WellConnect™ Wellhead Outlet (WHO) Penetrator is a Dry-Mateable Subsea Electrical Connector designed to provide continuous electrical connection through Wellhead equipment and includes a final pressure barrier providing continuous electrical connection through Subsea equipment. The Penetrator is mounted on the outside of a Subsea Tree and allows multiple connection outlets including; Diver Mates, ROV Connectors , Oil Filled Subsea Jumper hose and cables assemblies.

Typically this will be from a Tree mounted Wet-Mateable Connector to a Diver/ROV Connector situated at the Junction Box. The Connector is mounted to a Flange which is then mounted to a pre-machined face on the Wellhead equipment. The mating half of the Connector is terminated to an Oil Filled Subsea Jumper via an Omnitec Mk 2 interface or Subsea Connector.
