Ace Splice Carrier
Combining the functionality of a shrouded crimp clamp for locking flatpacks, with a splice sub into a single product, the Ace Carrier System offers superior cable and splice protection without the need for subs.
A more versatile, efficient and cost-effective alternative to splice subs, the innovative design effectively protects bare control lines and houses splice blocks, including hydraulic, as well as fiber-optic and TEC splices.
The ACS provides the same reliability and functionality that is usually offered by subs. As the clamp is not threaded into the completion string, it can be manufactured from standard materials and does not require premium threads. No scrapping of unused back-up tools is required, resulting in substantial hardware cost savings.
Simplifying completions operations, the ACS maximises operational efficiency and saves up to 6 hours of rig time per carrier run.
The ‘one design fits all approach’ of the ACS means that operators have the ability to utilise different vendors for the various products required and can still utilise the ASC to house all combinations. The ASC can be placed anywhere along the pipe and can be installed onshore or offshore.
