Oliver Twinsafe has completed eight high-specification trunnion-mounted ball valves for Shell Trinidad and Tobago, forming part of the infrastructure for the Manatee gas field development.
Operated by Shell Trinidad and Tobago, the gas field is located approximately 60 miles off the East Coast of Trinidad and Tobago. Production will begin in 2027 with the development expected to bring significant economic and strategic benefits to the region.
The valves are 8” 900# RF reduced bore (6”) in duplex stainless steel. They come with single-isolated flange-to-flange 10 meter vent valves.
The valves will serve as a critical part of the platform’s operational safety and pressure control systems. The choice of duplex stainless steel ensures exceptional resistance to corrosion in harsh marine environments, while the trunnion-mounted FOSL design provides dependable shut-off performance under high pressure.
The valves offer long-term reliability in demanding offshore conditions and are DVT qualified to meet the rigorous Shell MESC specifications.
