Asset life extension
Expert solutions for structural asset life extension of well conductors and guides
Claxton’s field-proven asset life extension solutions provide offshore operators with confidence and reassurance when it comes to ageing assets.
An early and clear asset life extension programme allows operators to anticipate potential problems and better prioritise tasks, therefore avoiding ‘fix-on-fail’ scenarios. Early engagement with clients allows Claxton to evaluate their centralization system and other conductor integrity concerns to see how effectively their current equipment is working and to address potential fatigue issues that could reduce the life of the platform.
With over 6,500 installations of conductor guide centralizers – many of which are retrofit, installed to extend the working life of conductors already in situ – these devices have been built with significant understanding of the requirements gained through extensive analysis of the platform structure and well conductor interface, combined with decades of experience in delivering this type of project to our clients.

RETROFIT CONDUCTOR GUIDE CENTRALIZER SOLUTION
Subsea 7 approached Claxton when it had to retrofit centralizers in several subsea conductor guides beneath two platforms for an operator in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. The project was in response to challenges connected with the inaccurate positioning or slippage of the original centralizers.
