Stab-In Connection System

Stab-in connection systems (STiCS) safely and quickly connect heavy choke and kill hoses to the riser slip joint to save hours of rig time while reducing hazardous work above water. The operator remotely stabs and makes up all riser hose connections then stores and hides the hydraulic handling arms and actuators. Corrosion-resistant gooseneck connections remain fail-safe locked onto the riser.
For easy maintenance access, disconnection is done in reverse order by parking the hosegooseneck assemblies at the side of the moon pool. Handling arms are mounted on the BOP trolley or moon pool structure. STiCS systems can be used with both in-line and wireline tensioners. The termination receptacles may be welded or clamped onto any telescopic joint.
