11kV Cable Joints & Power Cable Accessories

 

 

T&D working with the Lead Electrical Engineers at Agip KCO have specified and supplied SPS 11kV heat shrink resin cable joints to joint 12kV single core EPR insulated, wire braided cables with copper tape screens.

The resin encapsulated 11kV cable joint provides additional electrical insulation and mechanical protection to the underground cable joint.

The cable jointing resin is simply poured from the bucket by the cable jointer directly into the joint shell and allowed to harden and cure.

The high voltage cable project also required heat shrink resin cable joints to suit 11kV 3 core EPR insulated power cables and Nexans Euromold Screened Separable Connectors to terminate high voltage 11kV cables into new switchgear.

HV cable joints should only ever be installed by competent and trained high voltage cable jointers.

Agip KCO acts as an agent for the operator of the North Caspian Sea Production Sharing Agreement of 1997, North Caspian Operating Company, NCOC.

NCOC itself acts on behalf of co-venture partners comprising state oil company KMG, Eni, Shell, ExxonMobil and Total along with ConocoPhillips and INPEX, who hold smaller equity stakes.

An Eni subsidiary, Agip KCO is responsible for the execution of the first phase of development of the giant Kashagan field which holds some 35 billion barrels of oil in place and reserves of over 11 billion barrels beneath the Kazakhstan section of the north Caspian Sea.

Agip KCO is also responsible for the project execution of the onshore elements of the second phase of the Kashagan development.
