Subsea ball valves for St. Eustatius SPM project

CHALLENGE:

The St. Eustatius SPM project, in the Netherland Antilles, required the design and installation of two new 36-inch diameter, 6,000-ft-long pipelines, a new 180-ton subsea PLEM, tie-in spools, and a control umbilical system for remote subsea valve operation. Consequently, the contractor requested several highly engineered subsea valves from AMPO to guarantee exceptional reliability, tightness, and durability under challenging conditions, while meeting stringent API 6DSS design requirements and ensuring a 20-year design life.

SOLUTION:

AMPO POYAM VALVES engineered and supplied a total of five fully welded subsea ball valves: four 36” 300# valves and a 24” 300# valve, all equipped with compact hydraulic actuators. The valves were designed in SPE/SPE configuration and internally clad with 316 weld overlay to ensure maximum corrosion resistance and long-term performance.

AMPO POYAM subsea ball valves provided outstanding performance, fully meeting the project’s technical specifications and delivery schedule. Following the project’s successful completion, Jukes Group highlighted AMPO POYAM VALVES as an excellent supplier for subsea ball valve solutions.
