AMPO POYAM VALVES WILL SUPPLY LARGE-SIZED AND HIGH-PRESSURE CHECK AND GLOBE VALVES FOR ARAMCO’S CRPO 147/157 OFFSHORE TRUNKLINE PROJECT AT THE ZULUF FIELD

AMPO POYAM VALVES will supply 18 highly engineered check and globe valves for Aramco’s CRPO 147/157, a major offshore oil and gas tender issued by Aramco to its Long-Term Agreement (LTA) contractors. The project covers the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of a 60-kilometer, 48-inch trunkline at the Zuluf offshore field, in Saudi Arabia, together with related onshore dredging works.

The project, awarded by LAMPRELL as EPCI contractor for Aramco, forms part of the continued development of the Zuluf field, one of the largest offshore oil fields in the region.

Engineered for Extreme Size and Pressure Ratings

AMPO POYAM VALVES’ scope of supply consists of 18 check and globe valves manufactured in carbon steel with an Inconel 625 weld overlay, selected to withstand the demanding conditions of the offshore trunkline service. The valves stand out for their exceptional size and pressure class, comprising 30″ #1500, 36″ #1500, and 48″ #1500 ratings, the latter being the largest valve of its kind ever supplied by AMPO. Some of the unit weigh over 60 tonnes, reflecting the scale of the engineering challenge behind the project.

A Significant Engineering and Logistics Challenge

Given the exceptional dimensions of the valves, a substantial engineering phase was required to define the specifications of several components. The scale and delivery schedule of the valves also posed a significant logistical challenge, requiring careful planning to ensure the units reach the project site on time and in optimal condition.

AMPO POYAM VALVES’ selection for this project reflects its proven capability to design and manufacture highly engineered valves in special materials, including cladded and overlaid solutions, at exceptionally large sizes. This achievement is underpinned by AMPO’s strong track record and technical solvency in delivering highly engineered valve solutions for the most demanding offshore energy projects worldwide.
