Riser Tension Systems

Claxton tension systems are robust and proven via supply to most of the major drilling rig operators.

Claxton has supplied many major rig operators with riser tension systems that mitigate riser stress and enhance fatigue performance

These systems apply a pre-calculated load (tension) to provide rigidity to the riser or conductor during drilling operations, and reduce the applied axial loading from the blowout preventer stack and well control equipment.

We can supply complete systems or modular packages that will interface with your existing equipment.

Features:

• Passive or fully active systems available
• Flexible solutions – we’re able to provide either a pushed or pulled load facility
• Supplied with shackles, heavy duty connecting slings and all hydraulic hoses for interface and system connections
• Fast-track and cost-effective build service
• Compact design to ease handling and positioning issues
• Comprehensive site surveys can be undertaken to determine the interface requirements
• Operated using standard mineral oil or environmentally friendly non-marine pollutant fluid
• Experienced engineers provided for system installation, commissioning and training
• Air operated HPU eliminates the zone rating issues associated with electric units.
