Application

Benefits

During the last few years, offshore oil extraction activity has been constantly increasing. New platforms are being continuously installed indifferent parts of the world and operate in deeper and deeper waters. The safe and efficient interconnection from the topside platformsand vessels to the well heads and pumps on the seafloor is necessary to transfer power and data, as well as hydraulic and other fluidsto guarantee reliable oil extraction operations. The local generation of electric power and the subsequent distribution to various appliancesachieves lower generation costs. In addition broad-band communication systems are now an essential feature of the most moderncommunication and process control systems. The umbilical cables form this vital link between the various centres of operation. They mustbe able to withstand high mechanical and chemical stresses, high operating temperatures and pressures in order to ensure the continuousand reliable supply of services in the harsh environments below the sea. Technergy TM Umbilicals offer a full range of solutions, which thanksto innovative designs, materials and state of the art processes meet all of the demanding requirements of such applications.

Cable families at a glance

STEEL TUBESSteel tube umbilicals (STU’s) are becoming the preferred solution in many deep water projectsfor hydraulic control and chemical injection lines for wellhead control systems. The STUtechnology provides enhanced response times and higher working pressures when comparedto more traditional thermoplastic hose based designs. The STU’s also prevent the permeationof fluids from the tube, particularly with injection fluids containing methanol. STU’s usehigh-alloy stainless steel tubes with high mechanical strength and fatigue resistance, with anexcellent corrosion resistance at high fluid temperatures.In addition, the STU’s allow cables designs with a very compact cable cross-section and insome cases, allow for use of traditional structural support members such as steel armouringto be omitted from the designs, for both static and dynamic applications. For dynamicapplications the individual steel tubes can be oversheathed to prevent excessive wear. Themanufacturing process of STU’s allows the integration of other functional components suchas low and medium voltage power cables, control cables, fibre optical cables, as well as a rangeof different dimensions of steel tubes and thermoplastic tubes. Long continuous cable lengthsare possible using the latest sophisticated automated welding machines and NDE testing whichguarantee high levels of service and reliability required for this kind of product. Solutions will bedesigned to suit the individual customer requirements.

Cable families at a glance

STEEL TUBESSteel tube umbilicals (STU’s) are becoming the preferred solution in many deep water projectsfor hydraulic control and chemical injection lines for wellhead control systems. The STUtechnology provides enhanced response times and higher working pressures when comparedto more traditional thermoplastic hose based designs. The STU’s also prevent the permeationof fluids from the tube, particularly with injection fluids containing methanol. STU’s usehigh-alloy stainless steel tubes with high mechanical strength and fatigue resistance, with anexcellent corrosion resistance at high fluid temperatures.In addition, the STU’s allow cables designs with a very compact cable cross-section and insome cases, allow for use of traditional structural support members such as steel armouringto be omitted from the designs, for both static and dynamic applications. For dynamicapplications the individual steel tubes can be oversheathed to prevent excessive wear. Themanufacturing process of STU’s allows the integration of other functional components suchas low and medium voltage power cables, control cables, fibre optical cables, as well as a rangeof different dimensions of steel tubes and thermoplastic tubes. Long continuous cable lengthsare possible using the latest sophisticated automated welding machines and NDE testing whichguarantee high levels of service and reliability required for this kind of product. Solutions will bedesigned to suit the individual customer requirements.

Benefits

During the last few years, offshore oil extraction activity has been constantly increasing. New platforms are being continuously installed indifferent parts of the world and operate in deeper and deeper waters. The safe and efficient interconnection from the topside platformsand vessels to the well heads and pumps on the seafloor is necessary to transfer power and data, as well as hydraulic and other fluidsto guarantee reliable oil extraction operations. The local generation of electric power and the subsequent distribution to various appliancesachieves lower generation costs. In addition broad-band communication systems are now an essential feature of the most moderncommunication and process control systems. The umbilical cables form this vital link between the various centres of operation. They mustbe able to withstand high mechanical and chemical stresses, high operating temperatures and pressures in order to ensure the continuousand reliable supply of services in the harsh environments below the sea. Technergy TM Umbilicals offer a full range of solutions, which thanksto innovative designs, materials and state of the art processes meet all of the demanding requirements of such applications.
