  Test Facilities: Connectors for Subsea Electrical Equipment and Instrumentation
 

The ever increasing depth of installation and extended in-service lifetimes demanded by intelligent well installations is driving the development of reliable electrical equipment and instrumentation for down hole and wellhead use in deep-sea oil and gas operations.

The combination of high pressure, high temperature, and aggressive working fluid, make for a hostile environment with high rates of attrition. Proper testing and development of components is therefore essential if the high costs of in-service failures are to be avoided.

BHRSolutions can provide simulated down hole, subsea environments for the testing of components utilising a range of pressure vessels and temperature controlled chambers that can accommodate a wide range of well operating fluids. Long term installation requirements also mean that ultra low level leakage (ULLL) and permeation become significant phenomena in maintaining sealing integrity.

These systems can be designed and virtually tested by BHRSolutions using specialised permeation testing facilities in combination with FEA based lifetime simulation software for sealing components and a wealth of experimental data on polymer/elastomer materials in oilfield environments.

The Facilities

BHRSolutions' services include:

  • Function and reliability testing of thermocouples, pressure transducers, flowmeters, connectors, motors and cabling.
  • Development of specialised components such as multi-wire penetrators to enable remote monitoring and measurement of devices under test.
  • Compatability, function and permeation testing and simulation of seals and materials used in component construction
