Oil & Gas Cables

Electrical power signal, optic services can be offered in cables for stand alone operations for many intervention applications. Cortland uses extensive experience in developing other cable types, from strengthened ROV to plough, to design Standalone Cables that can operate in dynamic operations. The conductor construction, lay length, grouping and positioning within the assembly is chosen to maximise fatigue life and enhance the electrical characteristics. 

Cortland cables can be strengthened and given cut protection using layers applied between the cable inner and outer sheaths. These layers can be galvanised steel wire armour, braid or synthetic fibre braid selected to suit your connector types and preference.

The cables are sheathed as standard with polyether based polyurethane (PU) or polyethylene. PE is suitable for termination with Tronic or ODI type pressure compensated connectors, as is PU, which can also be easily moulded with polyurethane twin pack resin kits.

If you require assemblies, these can be filled with a silicone rubber based compound to minimise the void spaces. For an extra charge, the individually insulated cable conductors can be hydrostatically pressure tested prior to lay up into the completed cable assembly. 

Stand alone cables can be fitted and tested with mechanical terminations, such as armour bodies, flanges and bend stiffeners, in addition to cable connectors as required.
