Customer story
The world's first Pre-Installed Cable Protectors head deep into an offshore oil well
This Innovation by Vallourec has been trialed by a major UK operator with a number of 5 ½” VAM TOP ® cable protectors being used during their completion running operations.
During the trial they were picked up with standard side door elevators and supported the weight of 1,100m of tubing. They are now supporting and protecting a pressure and temperature cable that will provide real-time data to the production platform during the life of the well.
As this is the start of a multi well project the completion team are keen to use these on all remaining wells.
