The fast-tracked newbuild gas field will feature an unmanned platform and is situated 60km off Trinidad and Tobago’s south-east coast in water depths of 65m. The project is slated for first oil in 2019.
PJV and PJP will manufacture more than 500 specialty ball, gate and double block and bleed valves, and compact flanges from their state-of-the-art facilities in Italy and India. All valves will be metal-seated to ensure durability against the gas field’s abrasive conditions.
The company was awarded the contract because of its extensive offshore experience, technical specification support and ability to meet the project’s short delivery schedules, which require a turnaround time of less than six months, says PJV.
“Valves and piping components can seem like a small decision in relation to large offshore projects, but making the right choice can have a substantial impact on the bottom line,” says Spencer Linsell, sales director at PJV.“Our approach of challenging project specifications using our extensive industry knowledge means we can ensure clients have a bespoke, cost-effective solution that doesn’t compromise on quality.”
