Orders have started to roll off the production line for Oliver’s NEW Hydrogen double block & bleed and ball valves. After months of Research & Development and meticulous testing at our purpose-built R&D facilities in the UK, the ball valve was passed and certified for Hydrogen application by Third Party Inspectors in July of this year.

Various DBB and single isolate ball valves with 14mm Bore Flange to Flange have gone into full production having taken another order, this time from Rockfin. Valves pictured here can be seen undergoing pressure testing on our recently installed state-of-the-art test rigs, and are scheduled for immediate dispatch to Poland

The valves meet with stringent ISO 15848-1:2015 Tightness class B certification including ISO 5208:2015 zero seat leakage rate A. This has been achieved with precision engineering and providing a high-quality seal face finish.

Oliver Valvetek distributes the first of two orders for its Subsea ¾” Actuated Gate Valves, earmarked for South America.

Our subsea gate valves are designed for operation at 15,000 PSI and have been specifically chosen for the project. We were able to work with the customer to meet a reduced lead-time for deployment on the first trees and EDP package, shipment of the second order of valves is expected at the end of October this year.

The deepwater field development plan involves production wells connected to a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit. The FPSO will be permanently anchored to the seabed with a spread mooring system. The operational life of the FPSO is estimated to be a minimum of 25 years and will be one of the largest in the region.
