C-Kore Assists in North Sea Umbilicals Setup

C-Kore Systems have verified the installation of 3 new umbilicals in the North Sea for an undisclosed oil company.

The field is one of the biggest subsea projects being developed in the UK sector of the North Sea, the company noted.

The patented C-Kore subsea testing tools were used both to prove cables subsea during installation and from the FPSO after hookup to the subsea control modules.

Due to low voltage IR testing technology, the C-Kore units allow testing of cables without requiring isolation of sensitive control modules electronics.

Tim Overfield, managing director of C-Kore, said: “This is another application of our technology proving to save our customers time and money by simplifying their offshore testing
processes.”
