​Teledyne DGO offers an advanced, high-reliability subsea wellhead single channel electrical feedthrough system for use in intelligent completions with permanent downhole instrumentation. The pressure-compensated connection system is designed for long term reliability in demanding subsea and downhole environments. The system operates in extreme HPHT exposure as well as sour well (H2S) conditions, aggressive production and packer fluids.

  • Dual barrier philosophy throughout: 
  • Primary metal seals
  • We use a minimum of 2 seals for each pressure barrier
  • Always a minimum of 2 insulators between conductor and earth
  • API 6A-, 16D- & 17D-compliant:
  • HH material class (sour service)
  • Exceeds U temperature class
  • Product Specification Level 3
  • Performance Requirement Level 2

Key Features:

  • Glass-to-metal sealed pressure barriers
  • Interchangeable with hydraulic couplers
  • Pressure-compensated system
  • Rig-testable interface seals
  • Standard Ø1/4" (6.35 mm) downhole gauge control line interface
  • Underwater, wet-mateable connections

Benefits:

  • ​Modular design to suit varying installation envelopes
  • Simple, quick, secure, reliable downhole gauge connector rig terminations
