It’s time to modernise subsea testing

For too long offshore testing has relied on error-prone manual measurement. Subsea fault-finding, installation and decommissioning tasks have used downlines of dubious condition or burdensome platform-led testing. This has led to slow measurements and error-prone results.

C-Kore tools eliminate these problems, allowing testing to be completed much faster by automating the entire testing process and saving you days of vessel time. The units are not much bigger than a dummy plug and can be fitted on the deck or subsea by diver and ROV.

Safe for use on all subsea infrastructure, giving you better data faster.

Electrical cables (umbilicals, power cables, flying leads, jumpers)
Subsea sensors and instruments
Hydraulic and fluid lines
Subsea control modules (SCM), distribution units (SDU) and manifolds
Down-hole sensors and cables (DHPT)

Fault Finding

Measure assets directly subsea for substantial vessel time savings and reliable results without downlines.

New Installations

Automate testing to save time and personnel costs. Track asset health from factory to subsea hookup.

What our customers say

“Offshore testing can be significantly simplified with this meter, and overall schedule reduced. This in turn would save substantial costs during offshore inspection and fault finding campaigns. The result of the test by the new technique is more reliable, consistent and cost effective method to confirm insulation resistance in a subsea cable system.”

Benefits

Real benefits delivered and appreciated by our customers

Time

The need for downlines is removed, along with all the time required for their mobilisation, handling, deployment and recovery.

Eliminate lengthy delays associated with platform-led testing by bringing all work under the control of the intervention vessel.

Testing is automated, preventing delays from slow and error-prone manual testing.

Money

Fast deployment significantly reduces vessel time required for testing, delivering substantial cost savings.

The savings are dramatic, during a 1 week fault-finding campaign customers typically save 2+ days of vessel time with CKore.

As the units can be carried by hand, mobilisation costs are very low and no deck space is required.

Safety

Our innovative low-voltage design provides safe and easy diver operation with no retreating required, and won’t damage SCMs.

Simple handling by ROV, the stand-alone units do not require integration with ROV power/comms.

Repeatable automated measurement remove operator delays, errors and differences.

Reliability

Direct subsea measurement removes risks and uncertainties from downlines and intervening equipment.

Units are environmentally sealed and directly connected to equipment, removing effects of adverse weather and humidity.

Preprogramed automated test routines ensure the same measurements are made every time.
