Energy supply systems for drilling equipment – lightweight and robust

Heavy loads, high forces, and adverse environmental conditions: We develop robust and durable plastic energy chains and accessories to guide hydraulic lines and power and signal cables on onshore and offshore drilling rigs such as drilling vessels and drilling platforms.
The diverse areas of application – from guiding the top drive to the cantilever to pipe handling – require long vertical travels on the drilling rig or cable weights of over 200kg/m on the drill skid. Installed in exposed areas, they must also withstand wind and weather and a corrosive environment on a daily basis.
In addition to completely pre-assembled energy chains, our own engineering service – from planning to final acceptance – also ensures fast installation and commissioning and a high level of planning reliability for the oil and gas industry.

igus energy chains used in a drilling rig

Top drives

Perfect guidance and protection even in strong winds: e-loop and E4.1.112 series e-chains are used to reliably supply energy to the top drive.

Top product: modular e-loop energy chain system

The alternative to the service loop for guiding cables safely in hanging applications. Ideal for multi-axis applications.

Combines the advantages of a plastic energy chain with those of a high-strength pull rope.
Inside the chain, the pull rope transfers the tensile forces to the mounting brackets and the structure. As a result, the cables are kept completely free of strain.
Practical: individual cables can be replaced.
Works with: chainflex CFSPECIAL cable package consisting of power, data, and hybrid cables

Success stories

Consistency even during a snowstorm

Plants in the field of oil production often have to deal with severe weather conditions. For a Canadian oil drilling company, our e-loop energy chain solution ensures that the top drive is always safely and reliably supplied with energy and signals, even during severe storms.
