Trelleborg’s offshore operation signed a strategic supply and license agreement with Reel Power Oil and Gas to collaboratively develop and market an innovative new Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) suppression system aimed at improving riser performance and efficiency in demanding offshore environments. Through this agreement, both companies are aiming to market the solution to a wider customer base globally.

The two companies look forward to developing the new concept and making it available to the offshore oil and gas market as it has the potential to reduce operating costs, improve riser and wellhead integrity and extend vessel uptime. This includes in areas currently deemed not feasible for development where volatile weather limits operational windows.
