As oilfield engineering enjoys a resurgence of interest and investment, companies continue to look to advancements in technology to both reduce costs, and improve the safety of offshore drilling operations. In particular, active heave compensation systems use advanced hydraulic cylinders and accumulators to achieve a system that reduces the relative motion of the drill pipe and the seabed, improving both efficiency and safety. In the area of active heave compensation systems, CPI’s unique subsea position sensor is seeing deployment into these applications due to its unique versatility and durability. Specifically, manufacturers and system integrators specifying hydraulic cylinders and accumulators for active heave compensation, are finding that our ATEX and IEC-EX certified sensors are perfect for both subsea, and surface use, both inside and external to the hydraulics. Position Sensing in Heave Compensation Hydraulics is Absolutely Critical. Oilfield Applications which use the CPI advanced draw wire sensor include many different types of heave compensation systems. For most of these, the CPI SL-2000 Safety Rated Linear Position Sensor, is both a versatile, and a durable solution.
The CPI SL-2000, A study in Durability and Ingenuity Our solution to harsh duty hydraulic cylinder position detection is unique in the world, and is often the only practical solution to harsh environments, and long stroke cylinder applications. Here are a few of the characteristics of our robust sensor design.
