Cables and umbilicals used for offshore hydrocarbon exploration and oceanographic research generally operate in the aggressive surface zone and are subjected to the most physically demanding conditions. Product performance and reliability is critical to efficient and economic data acquisition.

JDR is the frontrunner in design and engineering of reliable and durable lead-in systems, which incorporate both strength, data and power transfer into small diameter cables.

Often, lead-in cables are designed in close cooperation with customers in order to achieve the optimum configuration for strength and signal/power distribution, whilst maintaining minimum outside diameter.

JDR continue to lead the field in cable developments, working closely with seismic operators, engineering lighter cables to ever smaller diameters. These efforts deliver benefits across the seismic industry, recognising the need for increased data acquisition at an economically viable pace. All lead-in cable terminations and fairing applications are performed inhouse, providing a turnkey solution to our clients.

For new applications, JDR have significant experience in performing desk studies, developing trial products and running qualification tests. JDR’s flexible approach to each project requirement encourages client partners to consider new techniques and engineering methods that enhance the performance of the product.

Through JDR Marine Cables, customers can access the extensive portfolio of product research, design, engineering, manufacturing, specialised testing and integration capabilities. With facilities located worldwide, JDR also provides a range of research, design, engineering, manufacturing, specialised testing and integration services.
