The products on display will include soft-seated sm a ll-bore ball valves. Their compact, lightweight and modular design supports a range of subsea applications, including subsea trees, manifolds and distribution units.

Hydraulic and chemical couplers will also be on display. Designed for high flow and low separation forces, the coupler range features adaptable housings and can be configured to suit customer sealing requirements.

Addressing annulus pressure build-up in subsea wells

Annulus pressure build-up can raise concerns about barrier integrity in mature subsea wells. Kristen will present “When the Well Won’t Tell: Solving the Challenge of Annulus Pressure Build-Up – A Novel Subsea XOV Retrofit Solution”, introducing a subsea crossover valve (XOV) retrofit solution.

Designed to restore confidence in annulus isolation without retrieving or replacing the subsea tree, the solution combines metal-to-metal valve technology, mechanical connectors and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) deployment.

Meet the Subsea Distribution team at SPE Brazil

Alongside Kristen, the team attending the event includes Kristian Karlsen, Senior Sales Executive and Technical Authority; Robert Kamperin, Product Champion; and Emil Nordpoll, Marketing Coordinator. The team looks forward to meeting subsea engineers and operators to discuss their project requirements.
