UK’s C-Kore Systems, has been awarded a contract for BP to purchase their C-Kore Subsea Monitoring tools .
Reportedly, BP tested the tools on earlier umbilical installation projects and will now buy a number of units for its Quad 204 project in the North Sea.
According to the company, the C-Kore units can monitor the insulation resistance and continuity of umbilicals during the complete installation process, even with both ends of the umbilical submerged to full deployment depth.
Tim Overfield , managing director of C-Kore Systems, said: “This is a fantastic endorsement of our technology that a major oil company such as BP understands the benefits of the C-Kore monitoring system.
“Our units provide valuable information previously unattainable, ultimately saving our customers money by reducing their required vessel time on installation and intervention projects.”
