CIS can be trusted to take full project management responsibility for the entire process of installing conductors – anywhere in the world
CIS was established at the beginning of 2005 and is an Acteon company. Andy Penman is the managing director and Mike Sharman is the operations manager – each has an impressive track record in the conductor installation business. The company has its headquarters in Great Yarmouth, in the UK, but works for customers all over the world.
Our main purpose is to install conductors with the maximum possible structural integrity – reliably and safely. We also constantly strive to reduce the cost of conductor installation through the development of more efficient work processes and the use of new technology.
Effective and reliable tools and technology
We have invested in several excellent hydraulic hammers for conductor installation. We also possess all the necessary tools for pipe handling, running and make-up, and for final cutting of the installed conductor ready for the wellhead to be fitted.
 Experienced crewsCIS field crews are hand-picked for their experience and positive attitude to the job. The teams always include qualified hydraulic mechanics to look after the equipment in the field, which is essential for avoiding unplanned downtime during a project, particularly in remote locations. Where a welded conductor is specified, we will also provide qualified welders and inspection personnel.
Fully equipped service centre
CIS has a spacious, fully equipped service centre in Great Yarmouth, where all the equipment needed for a particular project is assembled, maintained and tested.
Allied engineered products
We design and manufacture standard and deviated directional-drive shoes, drive chasers and whipstocks, which are for sale or rent. They enable us to carry out a wide range of installation projects involving conductors of any size. If required, we can also provide the conductor pipe itself. More products
