6.6. Submarine Pipeline Cable Engineering

Submarine pipelines include power cables, control cables, signal monitoring cables, and others. As an important means of power transmission, a cable remote-control signal has been widely used in offshore oilfields in China and abroad; with the further development of the technology, its use is in ascendance. Cables undersea are known for reliable performance, stable functioning, and a long service life, making them effective for transfer of offshore oil and gas field development and production of electricity. All kinds of control signals go between the offshore platforms, FPSOs, and subsea wellheads. The remote-control technologies for offshore oilfield production operations have taken a big step forward, ...
