Severn Glocon (UK) has been selected to supply severe service control valves for a 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, 25 million m3/day 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 a contract awarded to Saipem/Hyundai Heavy Industries, who have to date ordered globe, angle globe, butterfly and ball valves worth more than EUR 2 million from Severn Glocon. Most of the valves are manufactured from Inconel 625 and Incoloy 825 and fitted with high-integrity glands and security shrouds for sour gas duties.
