The premium quality cables deliver unmatched performance in harsh, high temperature environments. (Image source TFS)

In the challenging environment facing the oil and gas industry in the Middle East, the need for durable and reliable communication infrastructure is critical

Tactical Fiber Systems (TFS) has emerged as a leader in this field with DuraTAC® cables assembled with military grade HMA Expanded Beam connectors. These premium quality cables are specifically engineered for indoor and outdoor installations and deliver unmatched performance and resilience in harsh high temperature environments. In fact, with millions at stake, SpaceX uses TFS DuraTAC fiber cables for communications during every launch.

Featuring stainless-steel armored inner tubing, DuraTAC cables offer exceptional protection against physical damage while ensuring that the fragile glass fibers within each cable sheath remain intact and operational. The outer covering is a high heat tolerant TPU polymer that not only provides physical protection but also shields the cables from degradation against UV radiation. This UV resistance is essential to maintain the performance and durability of cables during prolonged exposure to the sun in outdoor installations.

Premium quality connectors

But a fiber cable is only as good as its connector. Here again, TFS excels using premium quality HMA “Expanded Beam” connectors and breakouts to ensure precision optical alignment, low loss and immunity from water, mud, dust oil and other contaminants.

TFS DuraTAC cables can be ordered factory direct, cut to length as desired and pre-terminated with HMA connectors or any specific fiber connector as desired. Cables can be ordered with or without durable cable reels. TFS also sells custom made breakouts, patch panels and converters to meet the specific requirements of any application.

Wood has been awarded a US$46mn, three-year contract by TotalEnergies in Iraq related to Iraq’s Associated Gas Upstream Project, part of the Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP) in Southern Iraq

Wood will provide front-end engineering design (FEED), detailed design, procurement support, and construction and commissioning assistance for the first phase of the project. The contract will be delivered by Wood’s teams in Basra and Dubai, creating 100 new positions.

The GGIP includes the recovery of gas currently flared in the Basra region to supply power generation plants, along with the construction of a seawater treatment unit and a 1GW solar power plant. Once implemented, this project will increase electricity supply to the Iraqi people, advance Iraq’s energy self-sufficiency, reduce harmful climate effects from flared gas in southern Iraq, and allow for the export of gas products to new markets. The consortium implementing the project is composed of TotalEnergies (45%), QatarEnergy (25%) and Iraq’s National oil company, the Basrah Oil Company (30%).

Shaun Dewar, senior vice president of Operations, Middle East and Africa at Wood said, “We are proud to support TotalEnergies on this project, which aligns with our shared commitment to pursue a secure and sustainable energy supply. We have a long-standing history of delivering engineering and consulting services in the region and this contract reaffirms our reputation for excellence.

"This project will improve environmental sustainability through emissions reduction efforts. As part of this agreement, Wood will also continue to invest in local employment and skills development in the Basra region.”
