Successful Load Test of Wire Line Support System

Navigating wireline operations at small offshore facilities presents a myriad of challenges, from transporting lifting equipment onto the platform to optimizing deck space alongside wireline equipment.

In response, Conbit is entrusted with delivering a modular system that offers essential lifting support during wireline operations. The proposed system is characterized by its modularity, lightweight construction, and minimal footprint, addressing the unique demands of small offshore platforms. With Conbit's innovative solution, operators can streamline operations while ensuring safety and efficiency during wireline activities.

Explore how Conbit's wireline lifting systems, endorsed by industry leaders Total Energies and Schlumberger, optimize offshore operations on wellhead platforms globally.

Assembly and load test

Total Energies, in collaboration with Schlumberger, meticulously assessed Conbit's wireline lifting system for deployment on an offshore platform in Denmark. Representatives from both companies observed the rigorous load testing conducted at Conbit's facility, gaining firsthand insight into its robust performance. Additionally, they witnessed Conbit's rope access technicians swiftly and proficiently setting up the system, showcasing its efficiency and adaptability within tight timeframes.

System specifications

Configured from modular, lightweight components, Conbit's wireline lifting system boasts a minimal footprint, optimizing space efficiency on offshore platforms. Supported by pre-tensioned guy wires, it ensures stability and reliability during operations. With an impressive elevation of 22 meters, the system is engineered to handle loads of up to 3 metric tonnes, offering exceptional performance and versatility for wireline activities in challenging offshore environments.

the lifting system fits on a very small platform. It does not require a lot of deck space. This is a top view of the wireline lifting system during load tests at the Conbit yard.

Setting up the wireline lifting system

Conbit's wireline lifting system is ingeniously designed for hassle-free setup without the need for cranes or forklifts. Skilled rope access technicians manually erect the structure, ascending within as they progress. Temporary guidelines are strategically installed to bolster the lifting structure throughout the setup process, ensuring efficiency and safety at every step.
