C-Kore Supplies Subsea Monitoring Tools for SEAR JIP

UK based C-Kore Systems delivered their subsea monitoring units to PTTEP Australasia for use on the Subsea Equipment Australian Reliability (SEAR) JIP.

The aim of the SEAR JIP is to reduce subsea equipment failures through collaboration and knowledge sharing in order to improve subsea equipment design for Australia’s offshore environment.

Chris Merrick, Senior Subsea Engineer for PTTEP, “The C-Kore units were very easy to deploy and during our trial, the results from the C-Kore were compared against a surface based testing suite connected via downline. The accuracy of the C-Kore units was excellent and data recovered was utilised in the final report.”

Tim Overfield, managing director of C-Kore Systems, “We are excited our technology is spreading to the Australian market. While the environmental conditions are quite different to other oil & gas locations, our technology provides great benefits to our customers by saving them time on intervention and installation projects.”
