Connector Subsea Solutions
Part of the Subsea Distribution Alliance
Connector Subsea Solutions will be participating in Workshop de Campos Maduros (WCMO) 2026 hosted by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) in Macaé, Brazil. Focused on the challenges and opportunities surrounding mature fields, the event will feature a presentation from Pål Magne, Business Development Manager at CSS, who will share the story behind the world’s first deepwater vertical hybrid riser repair.
Taking place on 19th May 2026 at 16:00 BRT at the Royal Macaé Palace Hotel, the presentation will share the planning, engineering and delivery behind a project that set a new benchmark for deepwater pipeline repair. As a Silver Sponsor of the event, CSS is proud to contribute to the technical discussions shaping the future of the offshore sector.
That same project is also captured in a detailed case study, giving a closer view of the challenge faced offshore and the solution that made the repair possible.
The world’s first deepwater vertical hybrid riser repair
The case study outlines the world’s first vertical remote repair of a deepwater hybrid riser, carried out after 2 off 4″ gas lift risers were damaged during installation. The project required a completely new repair strategy in deepwater conditions, where water depths ranged from 1 200 to 1 500 m.
Using a complete repair system centred on MORGRIP® subsea pipeline connectors, CSS designed, tested and delivered a bespoke solution that enabled the damaged sections to be bypassed and production to be maintained – at record-breaking water depth for such an operation.
