For a U.S. client based in the Netherlands, we conducted laboratory testing of an advanced electronic coaxial cable. This is a next-generation coaxial cable designed for real-time data transmission in deep gas and geothermal boreholes.
The testing covered operational conditions ranging from room temperature up to 150 °C. The goal was to demonstrate the cable’s ability to withstand extreme thermal conditions while maintaining reliable data transmission over extended cable lengths and measurement depths, whether in shallower boreholes (700 meters) or deeper ones (up to 7 km).
During the cable testing process—fully conceived and designed by our company, STE—we used our proprietary laboratory equipment and measurement methods. We successfully demonstrated that the cable meets all technical specifications required for use in challenging environments such as oil, gas, and geothermal wells.
This brief but highly successful collaboration earned us not only the client’s trust but also new insights and experience for the further development and enhancement of future cable designs intended for wellbore intervention applications.
