MENCK Deepwater System

MENCK is known for its deepwater experience. First successfully launched in 1989, the MENCK deepwater system has broken deepwater record after deepwater record pushing the envelope for oil and gas exploration.

 

The key to our system is the patented deepwater power pack which rests atop the hammer. An umbilical with communication and power lines connects the hammer topside to our new operator cabin.  

 

The design of the Deepwater system built on years of offshore experience and engineering knowhow taking into consideration ease of use, topside capacity and the environment.

 

 

  • Only one umbilical: One smaller umbilical containing high voltage power cables, air hoses and the electric conductors for system control functions instead of multiple oil, power, air and communication lines.
  • Deeper depths: Current MUP systems can reach to 2000 m and will soon be able to reach 3000 m.
  • Reduced footprint: Fewer containers are needed on board to manage the hammer.
  • Environmentally friendly: The closed loop system reduces the risk of oil leakage. Containing the oil within the power pack on the hammer instead of feeding it from topside reduces the risk of an oil leak.
