ENI (Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi – National Oil Board) engaged Novacavi a pilot project for platforms subsidence monitoring in Adriatic Sea. Novacavi has been called in to provide a specially designed custom pressure resistant cable for a new submarine hydraulic digital profile meter to be laid on the seabed close to a gas extracting platform. Installation of this monitoring system may reach a depth of 100m in order to survey and to take permanent readings of the subsidence cone caused by gas extraction.
Novacavi has conceived and supplied a special cable for pressure transducer power and signal transmission with high reliability and roughness considering hostile environmental conditions as well as stress due to transport and installation.
