Emirates Electrical & Instrumentation Company (EEIC) and Gulf Commercial Group (GCG) which operate from within the energy cluster of Ghobash Group and are considered to be leaders in industrial solutions and instrumentation services in the UAE, have announced three key partnerships at ADIPEC 2024. In collaboration with Desert World Company (DWC), ValvTechnologies, and Oxford Flow, EEIC & GCG are introducing advanced technologies to address critical challenges in the Oil & Gas industry—spanning Cathodic Protection and Corrosion Control, Valve Durability in severe service conditions and Zero Emission.
Desert World Company and EEIC Partner to Monitor Corrosion with the Helix Device. Corrosion remains a significant issue for pipeline operators, costing the industry over USD 1.3bn annually in repairs and replacements. Traditional Cathodic Protection (CP) systems require yearly inspections, leaving pipelines vulnerable to undetected rusting. In partnership with EEIC, Desert World Company’s Helix device addresses this problem by providing real-time, remote monitoring of CP systems.
GCG and ValvTechnologies Introduce Durable Valve Solutions for Extreme Conditions. Standard valves, which often rely on soft seats and elastomeric seals, frequently fail in challenging environments involving high temperatures, corrosive conditions, and fugitive emissions. GCG’s collaboration with ValvTechnologies brings metal-to-metal seated valves engineered for zero leakage and live-loaded sealing, capable of enduring extreme temperatures from -196°C to +760°C.
Decarbonizing Operations with GCG and Oxford Flow’s ES Series Actuated Valve. The ES Series actuated valve from Oxford Flow was awarded the Best Mechanical Engineering Achievement Award by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and adopted by GCG in coordination with major developers in the Oil & Gas sector for the decarbonization impact, bringing game-changing reliability to demanding isolation and control applications. By eliminating traditional mechanical actuators in favor of hydraulic actuation, the ES Series valve reduces fugitive emissions, offers high debris tolerance, and minimizes valve size and weight.
