Seadrill relies on the e-loop in drilling vessels

Seadrill replaced its service loop with our e-loop on the West Polaris drilling vessel. The e-loop works like an exoskeleton that protects the hoses and cables inside. The latter are specifically designed for use in the e-loop: they are particularly flexible, bend-resistant and stretchable. This system increases the reliability and safety of the top drive. If a cable should ever break, it can be replaced within a short time, which saves time and money.

Advantages for customers

Less downtime: instead of having to replace the entire loop, individual cables can be replaced.

Greater safety: the e-loop reduces risks that would have arisen from the labour-intensive replacement of entire service loops

Operational efficiency: increased operational efficiency thanks to shorter maintenance times and fewer breakdowns

Cost savings: less downtime and maintenance lead to lower operating costs and higher productivity.

More about the e-loop

Subsea cable with DNV certification and several chainflex conductor designs.

Cables for the top drive with DNV approval

The CFCPECIAL.5XX series is the perfect solution when high tensile forces occur in vertical applications. With the new DNV approvals for this series, you as a customer now gain a lot more safety.

e-loop for oil rigs and drilling rigs, with offshore and onshore rigs in the background.

Modular energy chain system e-loop

The alternative to the service loop for safely guiding cables in hanging applications. Ideal for 3-dimensional applications.

  • Combines the advantages of a plastic energy chain with those of a high-strength traction cable.
  • The tensile forces are transmitted to the mounting bracket and the structure by the tension cable inside the chain. As a result, the cables remain completely strain-relieved.
  • Practical: Individual cables can be replaced.
  • Matching: chainflex CFSPECIAL cable package consisting of motor, data & hybrid cable
