Lapp Muller has been active in the Oil & Gas sector for over 30 years.
Our expertise in dynamic cable has enabled us to develop innovative solutions to our customers' offshore problems.
We offer complete solutions, integrating connectors and anchors, resistant to extreme operating conditions (extreme temperatures, drilling mud, oil, pressure, UV, etc.).
- Compact loops, Service loops for top drives to replace traditional loops (patented products).
- Hydraulic and electro-optical umbilicals. Composite cables to control crude oil supply buoys for offshore tankers
- Power and control cables for marine, subsea and Oil & Gas activities: halogen-free, flame-retardant, low smoke emission, mud-resistant (NEK606) and antistatic.
- Data transmission cables, all protocols (Profibus, CAN, Devicenet, Ethernet, Profinet, ...)
- Cables for the Pioneer Spirit, the world's largest ship (dismantling and recycling of old oil rigs).
Our customer's challenge:
To supply the drill head, our customer manually assembled various cables and components in a trough. These homemade loops, subjected to extreme conditions of use, had a limited lifespan of just a few months.
The numerous production interruptions, due to repeated breakages, were time-consuming and costly for our customer.
Proposed solution:
Taking our inspiration from these homemade Loops, we developed and patented a long-lasting solution for our customer.
All the components (electrical, optical) are grouped together in a single umbilical, but we have also incorporated dynamic operating specifications and environmental conditions.
Result:
By studying our customer's constraints, we were able to develop a tailor-made solution that perfectly met their needs.
Our Loops operate for up to 5 years without interruption and with constant efficiency. This drastically reduced the cost of interrupting our customer's production.
Since this first collaboration, our range of Loops has expanded. We now also offer power and control loops.
