Severn Glocon has been selected to supply severe service control valves for a major new oil and gas production platform to be stationed in the Mediterranean Sea.

Severn Glocon has been selected to supply severe service control valves for a major new oil and gas production platform to be stationed in the Mediterranean Sea.

The Sabratha Platform is a key component of the new Agip operated development, gathering and commingling flow from 26 new subsea and platform gas wells before providing partial treatment of the sour gas and associated condensate streams produced.

Once commissioned, 25Mm3/d will be treated and mixed with gas currently being flared from nearby existing wells before being piped 110km through 900mm gas and condensate pipelines for onshore final processing.

The Sabratha Platform is being built and installed under an EPIC contract awarded to Saipem/Hyundai Heavy Industries, who have to-date ordered globe, angle globe, butterfly and ball valves with a value in excess of Eur 2 million from Severn Glocon.

The majority of the valves are manufactured from Inconel 625 and Incoloy 825 and fitted with high integrity glands and security shrouds for sour gas duties.

Severn Glocon's patented gland security system permanently prevents venting but enables the rate of any media seepage past the glands to be safely monitored in order to predict valve maintenance routines and prevent unplanned interruptions to production.

Valve sizes ordered range from 25mm Class 300 globes up to 600mm Class 1500 Inconel 625 clad angle valves, each weighing in excess of 17t.

All valves are packaged with pneumatic actuators, positioners and instrumentation.
