The umbilical team consisted of a core group of Shell and contract engineers, the controls supplier PM and DDI. Shortly after the team was formed, Shell switched controls suppliers from Kvaerner (FSSL) to FMC (KOS). The team worked with FMC to develop a new distribution system that would be reliable, easy to install and easy to maintain. Early in the game, DDI asked Shell if they would be interested in a steel flying lead concept soon to become known as the SFL. Steel was now used in the platform plumbing, the umbilical, the umbilical termination assemblies (UTAs), and the subsea tree, and it was time to minimise the use of hose flying leads (HFL) and maximise reliability of the distribution system. Shell agreed to allow DDI to work with the umbilical team members to develop and qualify a workable steel tube flying lead solution....."
