EPC Modec offshore Production Systems – Singapore has placed a purchase order with PetrolValves Group for 35 Control Valves API 10K & 15K, sizes ranging from 2” to 12”. These valves will be supplied to Equinor’s project Bacalahu FPSO.
The scope awarded to PetrolValves includes 35 severe service control valves with pressure drop that could reach up to 500 bar.
