Rated for depths of up to 3,000m, the new DVXT has been designed to reduce delivery lead times, helping customers to meet the challenges of deepwater projects.

GE Oil & Gas Subsea Systems engineering executive Chris Phebus said: "By offering our DVXT as a standard product, we can not only improve cycle times, but also ensure the highest levels of quality, safety and reliability for our products."

The DVXT, deployed with SemStar5-R remote electronics canister, features new communication technology to provide higher subsea reliability, extended service life and improved environmental monitoring.

GE Oil & Gas Subsea Trees senior application engineer Mike Wenham said: "The launch of our new DVXT is a great example of this, providing customers with a leading-edge production system that enhances our subsea trees portfolio to meet current and future needs, and enabling us to offer the industry a tree to meet any of its challenges, regardless of depth."
