Cameron orders Paladon Systems’ compact self-contained electro-hydraulic positioning systems to maximise oil production
To be fitted to six CC20 Cameron control choke valves, the systems will provide valve positioning with an accuracy of ±0.5% using 4-20mA HART communications and a fail-closed valve position on loss of either the electric power supply or command signal.
Senior Sales Engineer Kalam Mohammad, “This technology was first unveiled at Valve World in December last year and, coupled with the technology roadshows that we’ve been conducting in the UK earlier this year, has generated considerable interest with end users and engineering houses.
Considering that this cost-effective technology is 25% lighter and 30% smaller than traditional self-contained electro-hydraulic valve positing systems and leads the industry in terms of reduced installation and operational carbon footprints, we expect demand to continue to rapidly increase as end users realise the numerous technical and commercial benefits it provides.
We have been developing this technology since Valve World and will be exhibiting the latest linear and quarter-turn versions of it at IVS on 27th and 28th May (stand 49) and also at OGA from 2nd to 4th June (stand 5705). Even if you visited our stand at Valve World, we invite you to meet us again at IVS and OGA to see the latest technical innovations in action.”
The Hail offshore oilfield is located approximately 10km south of Mubarraz Island and is expected to contain sufficient reserves to last for the next 30 years.
