Building on the success of the company’s patented Merlin Connector, this advanced system is designed for efficient deployment in water depths of up to 6,000 meters.

Oil States management hailed the contract win as a testament to its expertise and cutting-edge technologies that enable the transition toward a lower-carbon multi-source energy mix to meet increasing global energy usage. Through its core expertise in oil and gas, OIS is actively contributing to the development of alternative energy sources while ensuring long-term growth.
In particular, this Houston, TX-based company is famed for its four-decade-long experience in designing and manufacturing advanced connection systems for deepwater offshore applications. The Merlin Deepsea Mineral Riser contract further solidifies Oil States' standing in the field.
