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.

e-loop®

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
