AkerSolutions Umbilical Cable
AkerSolutions’ unique and robust umbilical cord system offers excellent performance for installation and service at any water depth or climate.
The umbilical cord connects the sea surface and the seabed oil and gas equipment to control, power supply or provide heat. They provide electrical and fiber-optic signals, electrical power, and hydraulic and chemical injections to subsea equipment. They can also power seafloor boost and compression and provide streamlined heating to prevent the formation of waxes and hydrates that may slow down oil production.
Unique and reliable design
Over the past 20 years, AkerSolutions has delivered more than 550 umbilical cord cables worldwide, using a wide range of technologies and designs to meet customer needs. and have the ability to design and build umbilical cord tubes that meet customer specific requirements.
AkerSolutions' umbilical cable system can withstand high pressure and high temperatures, suitable for ultra-deep waters, harsh environments and long distances. Its unique design provides reliable guarantees for the installation and service of umbilical cord cables, such as the use of carbon fiber rods, strong external protective armor and polymer technologies to meet thermal requirements. Special systems for packing pipes and cables minimize longitudinal forces while providing greater internal and external strength, high fatigue capability, and no restrictions on geometry.
AkerSolutions' umbilical cable system includes the following aspects:
Electric umbilical cord cable
The patented design of the power umbilical cable is a very advanced way to provide power and control for subsea oil and gas treatment and boosting systems. They are ideal for fixed platforms or floating devices.
Metal umbilical cord tube
Steel pipe umbilical cords are designed to provide a reliable and durable way to connect onshore or offshore platforms with subsea facilities. They generally provide hydraulic oil for control, injection of various chemical liquids, electricity and electrical or fiber signal transmission.
Metal sheathed umbilical cord tube bundle
Loose bundled umbilical cord line with a soft profile for increased flexibility.
Electric heating system
Direct electrical heating systems are designed for oil pipelines to prevent the formation of waxes and hydrates and slow the oil and gas flow. Design, engineering and manufacturing systems meet customer needs.
Integrated oil and gas production umbilical cord
It combines umbilical cord function and oil pipeline function, and is also a solution for flow heating.
