Tratos Ltd, UK manufacturer and stock-
ist of electric and fibre optic cables, has
won a £5 million order for specialist fire
resistant cables from ConocoPhillips for
Phase 1 of the Jasmine discovery in the
UK, Central North Sea.
Jasmine, one of the UK’s largest explora-
tion discoveries since the mid-1990s, was
discovered by a ConocoPhillips-operated
exploration well in 2006.
First production from Jasmine Phase 1
began in the fourth quarter of 2012 and
the core development is expected to
produce at an annual gross peak sales
rate of more than 88,000 barrels of oil
equivalent per day.
Tratos will be supplying medium and
low voltage cables for Jasmine Phase
1 designed and manufactured by the
company with exceptional fire resistance
properties.
Tratos, whose primary market is the oil
and gas industry, was the only company
able to fully meet ConocoPhillips’ rigor-
ous spec for this specialist cable, which
was delivered in full last year.
All Tratos offshore cables have been tested
extensively both in laboratory trials and
actual installations and have proven to be
exceptionally reliable.
They can be produced to a very wide
range of standards including UK standard
BS6883, Norwegian standard NEK 606 and
Eni Italian.
