High-Pressure Needle Valve Supplied For Offshore Brazil Application

Oliver Valvetek has supplied a ½ inch bore, 15,000 PSI medium duty needle valve for a subsea project supporting offshore operations off the coast of Brazil for Petrobras.

The valve was specified for a high-pressure subsea instrumentation application where pressure containment, material integrity, and long-term reliability are critical. Designed and manufactured in the UK, the valve has been engineered to perform in harsh subsea environments, where intervention opportunities are limited and operational reliability is essential.

Despite its compact footprint, the valve provides robust performance under extreme pressure conditions, supporting precise control within the subsea system. Material selection, machining tolerances, and testing regimes were aligned with the demands of subsea service, ensuring consistent performance and durability throughout the design life.

This supply forms part of Oliver Valves’ ongoing involvement in global subsea projects, delivering British-engineered valve solutions for some of the most challenging operating environments in the energy sector.
