Hydrostatic tests for subsea electrical
equipment
BHRSolutions offers simulated down hole, subsea environments for component testing using pressure vessels and temperature controlled chambers that can handle a wide range of well operating fluids.
The greater working depths and extended lives needed for intelligent well installations now drive the development of reliable electrical equipment and instrumentation for down hole and wellhead use in deep-sea oil and gas operations The combination of high pressure, high temperature and aggressive working fluid make for a hostile environment with high rates of attrition

Fluid sealing technology explained
BHR Solutions' latest training course on fluid sealing technology was significantly oversubscribed, and so another course will be run on the 15th and 16th March 2005.
Proper testing and development of components is therefore essential if the high costs of in-service failures are to be avoided.
BHRSolutions offers simulated down hole, subsea environments for component testing using pressure vessels and temperature controlled chambers that can handle a wide range of well operating fluids.
Long-term installation requirements also mean that ultra-low-level leakage (ULLL) and permeation become significant phenomena in maintaining sealing integrity.
BHRSolutions uses specialised permeation testing facilities and FEA (finite element analysis) based lifetime simulation software to design and test in virtual reality the seals for these systems.
Services include: function and reliability testing of thermocouples, pressure transducers, flowmeters, connectors, motors and cabling; development of specialised components such as multiwire penetrators to enable remote monitoring and measurement of devices under test; and compatibility, function and permeation testing and simulation of seals and materials used in component construction.
