Offshore Installation Equipment
Research & Development
In addition to a strong core product line of float-over hardware, OKI offers
R&D services to customers for new products or modifications to current
products. During the R&D service, prototype parts are manufactured and
put through an extensive testing program to evaluate performance and
functionality. All tests are performed at full scale, integrated with actual
interface products to simulate actual operation conditions. OKI testing
requirements always meet and exceed the specified client functional
requirements. OKI now offers several additional product lines, which
originated as R&D projects:
■ Spar Air Can Compliant Guides
■ Secondary Well Head Disconnectors
■ Riser Centralizers
■ Riser Guide Devices
■ Laminated Bearings
OKI has satisfied all customers in the past with R&D services for many
issues related to fatigue, energy compensation, and motion
compensation. Throughout the years, OKI has accumulated a vast bank of
testing data and is able to translate this information into new and better
products. OKI is well suited for R&D projects because of its efficient
production capabilities, vast industry knowledge and experience, readily
available testing facilities, and limited overhead.
OKI's extensive resume, including 12 platforms at 14000+ MT, forms the
foundation of our experience and expertise, which enables us to execute
projects worldwide, and we’re ready to provide you with the innovative
solutions your projects demand. To learn more about the difference OKI

2009. The 16,400 MT Deck was
transported and installed by the
Black Marlin, a Dockwise vessel.
One of OKI's core pillars of quality is the internal testing regime
required on all parts delivered to customers to ensure structural
integrity and performance requirements. OKI has constructed the
world's largest press of this nature to increase its current
capacity to accommodate float-over hardware for the heaviest
platforms in the world.

The Kikeh Spar, constructed by Technip
and operated by Murphy Oil, required
LMU's with both vertical and horizontal
flexible components. OKI's Lateral
Compression Ring (LCR) was
incorporated into this design.
OKI uses 3D CAD software to
perform structural analysis and
visualize all aspects of design to
prevent any issues that may arise
during fabrication.
