Oliver Twinsafe is proud to announce the completion of a major project for the Shell Jackdaw platform in the North Sea, delivering two substantial 12″ Class 1500 Super Duplex valves. These valves, designed under our reference OTS3774, are a testament to Oliver Twinsafe’s commitment to engineering excellence and high-performance solutions for demanding environments.
Equipped with Rotork electric actuators and limit switches on both isolates, the valves provide precise control and optimal reliability, the key to the smooth operation of the Shell Jackdaw platform. These robust valves were designed to meet the most stringent standards in the industry, including full Design Validation Testing (DVT) and compliance with Shell’s rigorous MESC SPE 77/300A requirements.
The valves, crafted from Super Duplex materials known for their superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, are built to withstand the extreme conditions of the North Sea. This project is particularly significant due to the size and complexity of the valves, which are far beyond standard pipeline components.
The successful completion of this project further solidifies Oliver Twinsafe’s reputation as a leader in the subsea valve industry. With the new valves now in place, Shell’s Jackdaw platform is well-equipped to handle the demanding operational environment of the North Sea, ensuring safety, efficiency, and longevity.
