IWOCS Reels

Reel Power ME  built IWOCS reels are designed to meet the customers hydraulic control requirements for vertical and horizontal well completions in various water depths. IWOCS reels can be designed to include as many hydraulic connections as requested for operation of the necessary hydraulic control functions and provide monitoring and testing during installation, intervention and workover of subsea completion equipment. IWOCS are also be used to control subsea tree functions and LMRP/BOP control system functions. The reliability of the BOP control reels is crucial to well intervention functions.

Reel Power ME  IWOCS reel offers several patented, patent-pending and innovative features that allow safer and more reliable deployment of various umbilical types.

Lower Your Operating Costs & Improve Safety

• Patented Adjustable Fleet Angle allows greater flexibility in locating equipment and more accurate sheave alignment.
• Patent Pending “Smart Reel” Constant Tension prevents damage to cable and equipment caused by over-tension, never exceeding the riser speed. Eliminates operator intervention during riser deployment saving operating costs and increasing reliability.
• PatentedSlip Clutch Safety Feature Prevents Damage to the Cable and Equipment even if the motor and brake are locked.
• Proprietary Rotary Valves allows full maintenance access from the front, no need to enter the drum for maintenance, plus smaller footprint design allows more control functions to be mounted on drum of reel
• Patent Pending Power Brake Assist reduces air response time of braking.
• Powered Level-wind Adjustment (Optional) gives easy access to correct level-wind on the fly.
• Proprietary Rotary Swivel allows high pressure rotation and offers internal cooling and are torque balanced for longer life.

Reel Power ME's  Smart Reel Constant Tension (Patent Pending) feature automatically adjusts the tension of the reel as the umbilical is deployed allowing the reel to function on its own. This feature also monitors the speed of the reel and detects if the reel is moving faster than the riser or wireline. When this speed differential occurs the reel will automatically set the clutches and brakes stopping the umbilical in the event of over-payout (See Smart Reel product for more information).

Smart Reel Control Fast Response feature eliminates the slow response time of air operated controls and replaces with intrinsically safe controls on the remote operator station.

Our patented “Banana Curve” allows the level-wind fleet angle to be adjusted within a 110° range allowing hose deployment from the vertical position to just below the horizontal position. The adjustable level-wind angle feature allows the user greater flexibility when locating the reels and umbilical sheaves on a vessel.

Our Power Brake Assist (PBA) (Patent Pending) system reduces the brake response time and allows better control of the brakes at lower supply air pressures.

The Slip Clutch system (Patented) allows the spool to turn, under a pre-set drag, even if the brake is locked, protecting the umbilical from damage in the event of unexpected riser movement.

The Local Controls allow Reelpower ME reels to be operated from controls mounted on the reels or from a remote control panel. Our control panels can be configured to operate as many reels from one station as the customer desires. Removable and storable control stands are available for easy transport.

Double Levelwind Diamond Screw offers longest life on higher side load application. Plus powered correction of levelwind feature allows operator to correct from the deck.

Charpy Rated Pad-eyes, Full Penetration Welds, ABS & DNV certifications meets or exceed your project’s most stringent specifications.
