Leading manufacturers of oil and gas cables
At Custom Designed Cables, we are experienced manufacturers of oil and gas cables, designing and manufacturing bespoke cable solutions for demanding onshore, offshore and petrochemical environments. With over 20 years of cable manufacturing expertise, we develop custom cables that deliver reliable electrical performance in applications exposed to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, mechanical stress and challenging operating conditions.
Our oil, gas and petrochemical cables are manufactured within an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system, with UL and CSA-approved cable options available where required. Cable constructions can also be designed and manufactured to relevant industry standards and customer specifications, ensuring the finished cable meets the electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements of your project.
Oil and gas cables for demanding environments
Oil, gas and petrochemical facilities place significant demands on cable performance. Equipment is often exposed to harsh operating conditions, including:
- Extreme temperatures
- Oils and chemicals
- Moisture and humidity
- Mechanical impact and abrasion
- Outdoor weather exposure
- Hazardous industrial environments
Our custom cable solutions are designed to provide dependable long-term performance while supporting reliable operation across critical industrial systems.
Applications for oil and gas cables
We design and manufacture armoured and unarmoured control and instrumentation cables for use throughout the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
Our cables are commonly used for:
- Power distribution
- Instrumentation circuits
- Process control systems
- Voice communication systems
- Data transmission
- Electrical equipment interconnection
- Plant instrumentation
- Processing facilities
- Indoor installations
- Outdoor installations
Our cable constructions are specifically designed to withstand the demanding environmental conditions encountered within chemical processing plants, petrochemical facilities and oil and gas installations. Products are also designed with circularity and compactness in mind, allowing efficient installation around steelwork within petroleum processing facilities.
Cable types for oil, gas and petrochemical industries
Selecting the correct cable depends on the operating environment, installation method and performance requirements. As experienced gas cables manufacturers, we can produce a wide range of cable constructions, including:
- Armoured cables
- Unarmoured cables
- Instrumentation cables
- Control cables
- High-temperature cables
- Fire-resistant cables
Where required, cable constructions can be designed and manufactured to relevant industry standards and specifications, such as BS 6883 for elastomer-insulated cables used on ships and offshore installations. If your project requires a specialist cable construction, our engineering team can develop a bespoke solution tailored to your application.

Frequently asked questions
What are oil and gas cables used for?
Oil and gas cables are used throughout upstream, midstream and downstream facilities for power distribution, process control, instrumentation, communication systems and data transmission. They’re designed to operate reliably within demanding industrial environments.
What are petrochemical cables?
Petrochemical cables are specialist cable constructions designed for use within petrochemical plants and chemical processing facilities. They’re manufactured to withstand exposure to harsh operating conditions while maintaining reliable electrical performance.
What types of cables are used in oil and gas facilities?
Common cable types include instrumentation cables, control cables, armoured cables, fire-resistant cables and high-temperature cables. The most suitable cable depends on the installation environment and operational requirements.
Can oil and gas cables be customised?
Yes. At Custom Designed Cables, we specialise in bespoke cable manufacture. We can tailor conductor configurations, insulation materials, armouring, screening and cable jackets to suit your project’s exact electrical and environmental requirements.
Why are armoured cables used in petrochemical plants?
Armoured cables provide additional mechanical protection where cables may be exposed to impact, abrasion, high temperatures or harsh industrial environments. They’re commonly specified for demanding oil, gas and petrochemical installations where durability is critical.
