1 1 The C-Kore Subsea TDR Automated Cost-Effective and Reliable Subsea Testing

2 C-Kore Introduction 2 Greg Smith General Manager Working with C-Kore for 8 years Frequently supported products in the field

3 C-Kore Contents 3 Introduction TDR Theory C-Kore vs Traditional Fault-Finding Case Study

4 Introduction 4

5 C-Kore Applications 5 Subsea Tools for: Installation/Commissioning Fault-finding Operations Down-hole Testing

6 C-Kore Subsea Testing Tools 6 Cable Monitor (IR & Continuity) Subsea TDR Pressure Monitor Subsea Modem

7 C-Kore Development 7 Development Cable Monitor Prototype Trials Cable Monitor Released Cable TDR Prototype Trials Started in

8 C-Kore TDR Specification 8 Specification Range of over 20km Precision of 10cm Gain up to +52dB Automated pulse and step modes

9 C-Kore TDR Specification 9 Results All results datalogged Built-in analysis tools with C-Kore result viewer Easy report generation

10 Time Domain Reflectometry 10

11 TDR Theory of Operation 11 Operation: Transmits an electrical pulse and measures reflections (similar to sonar) Identifies: Distance to end of line / discontinuity Type of discontinuity / termination

12 TDR Reflection Impedance Change 12 TDR Amplitude Time

13 TDR Reflection Impedance Change 13 TDR Amplitude Time Time = Distance to fault Time = Distance to line end

14 TDR Reflection Further Examples 14

15 C-Kore vs. Traditional 15

16 TDR Deployment Traditional Method 1. Vessel arrives in field 2. ROV launched 3. Downline deployed (move to safe distance) 4. ROV derigs and connects downline 5. TDR testing from back-deck 16 Downline Issues: Impedance mismatch at interfaces Extra attenuation (reduced range) Operator skill under time pressure Quality of saved data

17 TDR Deployment C-Kore Subsea TDR 1. Vessel arrives in field 2. ROV launched 3. ROV connects and triggers C-Kore TDR 17 C-Kore Benefits: Matched impedance (no extra reflections) Direct measurement (see extra detail) Automated and repeatable Interactive result analysis

18 : Fault-Finding 18

19 19 Background LIM shows IR failure on one channel Some spare cables available If umbilical failed (suspected) will need to decide repair vs replace

20 20 Supplied in small peli-case Deploy in work basket or tooling tray

21 21 Usage Test routine pre-programmed for simple subsea deployment Connect directly to subsea equipment, no downlines required Trigger measurement with light sensor, proximity sensor or schedule
