Claxton Engineering

As with many offshore projects that Claxton Engineering undertake, their designers have to use their ingenuity.

You would be forgiven for thinking that there’s not much to get excited about when it comes to protective structures – they are, essentially, a cage placed on the seabed to prevent damage to equipment from fishing activity or dropped debris.

Claxton Engineering offers a range of cameras which provide industry-leading technology with proven performance offshore.

The Claxton Crane Boom Camera System was built and designed to assist crane operators with the safe transfer of loads even in 'blind' locations.

The first of two Claxton contributions to the giant Tombua–Landana project is not that easy to spot, even though it is fundamental to this world-class project.

This new drilling and pinning technology offers real advantages for recovering conductors with integrity or corrosion issues.

As in many other industries and business sectors today who experience difficult market conditions, it is vital to extend the life of assets and the offshore industry is no exception to the rule.

Whilst the name CamScan may sound more like it should be situated in a hospital, within the offshore industry the CamScan is a retrievable subsea or downhole colour camera made to be run on drill pipe conveyed tooling and sand line frames.

The use of pre-drilling with templates and tiebacks is an optimum choice for marginal fields where additional reservoir data are needed and where drilling-to-production time needs to be reduced.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill which happened as a result of an explosion on 20 April 2010 killed 11 men working on the platform.
