Marine Riser
Simple and effective designs

GE Oil & Gas, Drilling & Production is one of the industry-preferred suppliers of marine drilling riser. Our designs are simple and effective. We have a committed record of always supporting our customers with service throughout the life of the product.

Product/System Overview

The marine drilling riser connects the floating rig to the subsea wellhead. The subsea well is drilled through the riser allowing the drilling mud to circulate back up to the rig. We offer three main types of marine drilling riser: VetcoGray MR - 6H SE, VetcoGray MR - 6E and VetcoGray HMF to address specific working environments.

Our latest offering, VetcoGray MR - 6H SE, is a fully-automated make-up, 3.5 million pound rated (API class 'H'). The MR - 6E is a dog-style riser connection. The HMF riser system is one of the most reliable systems in the market today. It is well designed for deepwater drilling.

Gas Handler (GH Diverter)
Hydril Pressure Control Gas Handler

For deepwater, floating drilling, the GH Diverter uses annular closing devices to handle gas bubbles that expand as they ascend through a long riser. Mounted below the telescopic joint, it permits pressure control in the annulus.
VectoGray HMF E-H

One of the most reliable and advanced marine riser systems in today's market is VetcoGray's HMF system. The HMF connection is fully preloaded and ideally designed for deepwater drilling in a harsh environment. The MR - 6E is lightweight, simple to operate and fast to run.

Riser Fill-up Valve
Hydril Pressure Control Riser Fill-up Valve

The Hydril Pressure Control Riser Fill-Up Valve prevents collapse of the subsea riser due to the unexpected evacuation of drilling fluids. In such situations, the valve backfills the riser with seawater to prevent collapse.
