About Us

Flint Subsea sells and rents a variety of high-pressure Emergency Quick Disconnect (EQD) devices for hoses. Our field proven equipment provides a means to disconnect, passively or on demand, in the event of a drift-off or drive-off event.

Our devices can be mounted in flexible downlines; coiled tubing systems; between subsea assets; or between vessels and platforms. The devices have been used for well intervention; decommissioning; and commissioning.

Our DNV Type Approved Mid-Line Weak Link EQD is a full-bore, straight through, pressure balanced device, suitable for operating in 3000 meters of water and 15000 psi internal pressure. Our EQDs separate under excessive hose tensile loads allowing internal barriers to close and includes the capability to be disconnected on demand, removing the risk of excess hose loads.

Founded in 2013, an ISO 9001 business, we have provided EQD devices and systems to clients globally.

Products

Mid Line Weak Link EQD

The Mid Line Weak Link EQD, used subsea or topside can be mounted into any hose string or below coiled tubing providing protection to infrastructure, personnel and the environment for a range of media.

Well Kill Connector

The Flint Subsea Kill Line Connector is designed for subsea intervention packages as well as subsea pumping systems. The flexible hose section facilitates angular disconnects, thereby ensuring a straight pull on the packaged EQD.

Tension Pin Override System

A deployment aid, the tension pin override system allows tensile loads greater than the break load of the tension pin to be applied. Useful for deployment and recovery

Type Approved

We hold a type approval with DNV to API 17G.

Full Bore

All our equipment features a full, straight-through unobstructed bore. This facilitates high-flow with low pressure drops.

Pressure Balanced

Our design is pressure balanced which means the force on the device is zero, regardless of pressure or depth.

Active Disconnect Capability

Our EQDs can be disconnected "actively" by pumping hydraulic pressure into a port on the side of the connector. This removes all damaging tensile loads being applied to the hose

Tension Bolts

Select the theme that suits you. Each theme in the Mobirise website building software contains a set of unique blocks.

High Pressure

We have type approvals, designs and equipment operating with working pressures up to 15000 PSI and test pressures over 22500 PSI.
