Frequently Asked Questions
What certifications are required for cable used in oil and gas hazardous areas?
For equipment and cable installed in Zone 1/2 (gas) or Zone 21/22 (dust) hazardous areas: ATEX certification is required for European and many international projects; IECEx is the international equivalent accepted in most non-EU markets. Both require certified cable glands/entries in addition to the cable itself. For North American projects, Class I Division 1/2 listing under UL and cUL is the standard. We supply both ATEX/IECEx and UL Class I Div 1/2 compliant cable.
What does 'mud resistant' mean for drilling cable?
Drilling mud (drilling fluid) is a high-pressure slurry of water, clay, and chemicals used to cool drill bits and stabilize boreholes. Mud-resistant cable jackets are formulated from EPDM rubber or highly crosslinked polyethylene that resists swelling, degradation, and electrical tracking from prolonged exposure to drilling fluid. Standard PVC and XLPE cable jackets will degrade rapidly in mud exposure.
Are armored cables required for offshore installations?
On offshore platforms, cable armoring is strongly recommended and often required by classification societies (DNV GL, ABS, Lloyd's Register). Armoring (wire braid or double steel wire armor) provides mechanical protection, rodent resistance, and contributes to the cable's earth fault protection path. For subsea cables, armoring also provides tensile strength for deployment.
