MODFOX M6 – Flexible Vertical Deployment system

Vertical installation.

Compact design.

The MODFOX M6 system is designed for vertical deployment, as an optional adaptability for challenging offshore operations.

Utilizing a standard Modular Control Package (MCP), the M6 enables vertical deployment via a robust, compact frame – perfectly suited for operations where deployment requires a vertical approach, landing on an existing guidepost on the ocean floor.

Expandable Capacity

The system’s capacity can be enhanced with a modular backpack upgrade, fitted directly onto the same deployment frame. This allows for greater operational efficiency without the need for major hardware changes.

Why MODFOX M6?

The M6 system features an integrated hollow funnel for smooth pre-run installation and deployment of a tensioned guidewire.
The guidewire can be anchored to a standard guidepost, a guidepost extension in the active slot, or a dedicated guidepost on a clump weight/DMA near the well slot.
A 10-ton pad eye on the frame allows for safe and secure lifting, whether offsetting the funnel or deploying via winch or drill pipe.
A crossover connection enables the use of a wire forerunner when deploying with a drill pipe.
The system is stored horizontally and only lifted vertically when ready for deployment—on deck or from a moonpool skid.
A dedicated lifting jig facilitates the horizontal-to-vertical transition and is removed once the system is in position
