Since being founded in 1985 Claxton has earned an
enviable reputation for service and responsiveness –
in fact a recent survey of our customers found that
these two things set us apart from the competition.
Our camera range is just one example of this customer focus in
action: We have supplied world-class cameras for over 12 years and
in response to the issues faced by clients, we’ve continually adapted
and improved our range to meet their needs.
We have several pioneering products in our camera range and these
are offered alongside a deep range of engineering and services for
subsea and land operations – so customers can be sure that our
cameras really benefit from Claxton’s 25 years of oilfield experience.
The result is that our cameras are rugged, field-proven and available
for rapid call-off – because that’s what our clients told us they need.
We hope that you find this brochure useful and look forward to
hearing from you soon.
Warm regards,
Dannie ClaxtonTechnical Director

tiCam
MultiCamDisposable camera systems withindispensable performance.
Operations dictate it is often preferable to leave itemssubsea rather than to incur retrieval costs - Claxtondesigned MultiCam to meet this need while maintainingthe high visual performance associated with moreexpensive systems.
Multiple cameras can be used to monitor stab guidesand other key areas to ensure a safe and accurateinstallation and to verify that infrastructure has beensuccessfully locked down.
Product Features• Multiple cameras and lights can operate fromone system
• Small form factor enables installation in tightlocations
• High performance camera modules.
Key Benefits• Easily operated and rapid set up
• Maximum visibility in poor conditions (camera inclose proximity to point of interest)
• Bespoke camera mounting brackets
• Standard file formats for easy transfer.MultiCam’s small form makesit ideal to monitor installation intight locations

Crane BoomThe Claxton crane boom camera makescrane operations safer.
The Claxton crane boom camera is designed to assistcrane operators in ensuring the safe movement of loadseven in ‘blind’ locations - making crane operation saferand faster.
The system, built using the same robust technology asour industry-leading subsea and downhole cameras,can be installed on virtually any type of crane operating inany environment.
Product Features• Best-in-class 312:1 zoom capability
• EEx rated modules provided for controlled zone,or cross zone applications
• High-resolution daylight viewable LCD monitor
• Custom designed pivot bracket and dampingsystem maintains a steady view of the work site.
Key Benefits• Unmatched visual performance - class leadingzoom capability and high quality monitor system
• Simple operation and easy set up
• Used in daylight and low light levels withoutadjustment
• Straightforward interface with existing crane design
• Field proven in harsh North Sea rig environments.
A robust damper enablesCraneCam to maintain a smooth
view of the work area

ght A state of the art camera module provides
visual clarity in nearly pitch-black conditionsand deep water environments.
The Claxton Ultra Low Light camera works effectively inconditions where light is poor or the sea is murky. Usinga light source in water with a large amount of particulatematerial normally results in ‘bloom’ as the particles reflectthe light. Our system negates this issue by eliminating theneed for high powered lighting.
Product Features• Effective in light levels down to just 0.0003 LUX
• Camera module rated to 3,000m (300bar)
• Robust, easy operation control unit
• Fully field-proven system components.
Key Benefits• Ideal for low-clarity waters, such as those in theNorth Sea
• Reliable visual performance for applicationswhere silt is stirred up during operations
• Standard file formats for easy transfer.
A state of the art CCD enablesclear vision in conditions too darkfor most cameras

CamScan provesvital to successfultiebackCamScan’s powerful combination of high-spec featuresand quality visual performance has made it the de factocamera of choice for tieback operations.
The Problem• A tieback operation had been halted due tosuspected dropped objects downhole in KilmarWells 43/22-1 and 43/22-2.
The Solution• Claxton mobilized a CamScan system with LEDinternal lights to provide strong illumination andmaximum visibility
• CamScan was deployed downhole and the operatorused the pan and tilt function of the camera toquickly locate the position and orientation of junk forsubsequent fishing operations.
The Result• The camera provided vital visual feedback andclear images of the location and nature of theobjects
• CamScan was instrumental in inspecting thetieback threads and checking for further debristhroughout the tieback campaign
• Following the deployment of CamScan the tiebackwas completed successfully.

MultiCam verifieswell installationIt’s often the case that simple, robust solutions can usurpmore sophisticated systems – as MultiCam proved on arecent project… providing visual verification beyond thereach of an ROV.
A client had seven subsea Xmas trees to install as part ofthe Callanish and Brodgar Field developmentprogram. However due to access limitations, an ROVcould not be used to verify the installation. Views wererequired at the following locations
• Wellhead lockdown indicator
• Flow line hub lockdown indicator
• Guide post engagement
In order to provide the necessary verification, Claxtonsupplied a suite of low cost MultiCam systems andmounting brackets to monitor these key locations.

Case studies
The Problem• High currents and low Subsea visibility, at timesless than 3’, restricted ROV capability and riskeddelays in the completion programme
• Viewing angles unobtainable using an ROV due toaccess constraints
• The cameras had to be mounted withoutresorting to direct modification of the trees.
The Solution• Simple unidirectional cameras mounted on the treestructure to provide positive confirmation of theindicators actuation
• Claxton designed a fully extendable, fullyadjustable mounting bracket that clamped to theexisting structure
• A weak link system enabled the umbilical to beretrieved and the camera/light assemblies to stay inplace on the tree once the installation was verified.
The Result• All camera assemblies functioned successfully andprovided the expected data without any loss of time
• The Xmas tree assembly was installed successfullywithout delays.
