PJ Valves (PJV), a valves manufacturer and supplier, has been awarded more than US$1.3 million (£1 million) worth of contracts to supply over 1000 valves to Maersk Oil’s Culzean field in the UK North Sea.
PJV will manufacture forged cast gate globe and check valves in super duplex and super alloys for the wellhead, living and central processing platforms. The company will also supply wafer check valves to prevent fluid backflow on these facilities. The valve package is scheduled to be delivered in 2017.
Because of the success of the front-end scope, PJV has also been awarded contracts for the compressor, metering and water treatment packages.
The Culzean gas field is expected to reach a peak production rate of 400-500 MMscf/d, providing for around 5% of the UK's total gas consumption by 2020.
