BEL Valves has seen products installed in two major North Sea oil field developments; due to the fast lead times the company offer.
The Newcastle-based business, which manufactures high integrity valves, complete with actuation and control systems for oil and gas and hydrogen and carbon capture installations, was able to design, develop, manufacture and supply bespoke small bore needle valves and gate valves for Subsea7.
BEL Valves’ products have been installed in the Belinda and Bittern oil fields, both of which are situated 190km east of Aberdeen and will supply the Triton floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel when they become operational in early 2026. They were specified by Subsea7 for Dana Petroleum and Serica and will be used on subsea elements of the multi-million pound project.
Designed for heavy duty on/off applications in the challenging subsea environment, the BEL Valves subsea Gate Valve range can be supplied in bore sizes from ½” to 36″. Meanwhile, its Needle Valves suit bore sizes of ½”, ¾” and 1″ and have a pressure rating up to 15,000psi.
