Yorkshire firm secures deal with one of worlds biggest oil projects - 24/08/2008
Cable cleats made in Yorkshire are to be used in one of the world’s biggest new oil projects – the multi-billion dollar Kashagan Project in Kazakhstan.
Rillington-based Ellis Patents, the UK’s largest dedicated cable cleat manufacturer and one of the major players in the global cleat market, will supply its Emperor cable cleats under the major order.
Managing director Richard Shaw said: “The scale of the Kashagan Project needs to be seen to be believed, but I wouldn’t be wrong if I was to refer to it as one of the single largest development projects in the world today. Therefore, the importance of this order can not be understated. Especially as we are confident that once used the quality of our Emperor cleats will be enough to ensure many subsequent orders for the duration of the project.”
The oil field is being developed by the Kazakhstan North Caspian Operating Company NV (Agip KCO) – a consortium that includes the likes of Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch / Shell, Total, ConocoPhillips and Japanese Inpex. When operational, it is anticipated that the development will produce 1.2million barrels of oil every day.
Available for trefoil and single cable applications, Ellis Patents’ Emperor cable cleats are designed for use where the highest levels of short circuit withstand are required.
The order for Ellis Patents’ Emperor cleats was placed through Sea Star International, its distributor in Kazakhstan.
