High voltage connectors and subsea distribution systems

In the world of deep sea oil and gas recovery, the pressure is crushing. The need to maximize production from ? elds in deep water must be balanced with maintaining safety for workers and the environment. Delivering power to compressors and boosting equipment miles from shore… in thousands of feet of water is just the surface of the problem. It’s a challenge our engineers thrive on. So when the quest for resources in harsh environments drives leading oil and gas companies to develop breakthrough solutions like sub-sea gas compression and sub-sea boosting, TE Connectivity (TE) dives deep with them to help make those technologies a reality.
