Cable and Control Line Protectors
Prysmian complements our world-leading Downhole Technology portfolio with a comprehensive range of cable protection products to provide clamping and protection solutions for the full range of downhole applications that span from on-shore wells through to deep and complex off-shore wells for high temperature, high pressure and sour product wells.
The PDT Cable and Control Line Protector range provides clamping and protection for:
- Tubing Encapsulated Cable (TEC)
- Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) cables
- Fibre optic cables
- Hybrid cables
- Control lines
- Injection lines
- Flatpacks
Based on our unrivalled design expertise and knowledge of the downhole environment, we have developed a range of cable and control line protection products that meet the challenges for applications including: centralisation; open hole; perforating gun orientation; tight clearances; thermal isolation; low coefficient of friction requirements; dual strings; splice and gauge protection.
Our range includes products you can use to design a protection system that meets the specific needs of your project by minimising the risk of damage to control lines or cables during installation and for the operational life of the well.
By combining cross-coupling protectors and special designs that offer additional stand-off, our systems protect lines running over downhole assemblies such as safety valves, mandrels and tubing crossovers.
To enhance protection from lateral, axial and rotational loading, our protector portfolio includes features that offer distinct benefits over the pressed-steel clamps used by other manufacturers. Key features include: interlocking strap and body; central support pillars; captivated fasteners with no loose parts; pre-engaged fasteners; high tensile fixtures; corrosion protection.
We use a range of materials to balance cost against the demands of your well conditions.
As standard we can supply protectors in: carbon steel; 316 stainless steel; 13Cr, 25Cr and super-duplex. Our products comply with the requirements of NACE MR 0175/ISO 15156.
