oolex has added seven new 90° micro-spotting drills in sizes from 0.3 to 2.5 mm to its range of over 30,000 precision cutting tools held in stock for immediate despatch.

Smith Flow Control Custom Builds Operating Panel to Enhance Valve Safety and Efficiency
O
il and gas company Eni Norge approached valve safety expert Smith Flow Control to help
simplify its valve processes on the Goliat Field oilfield. Smith Flow Control provided a solution by developing a custom-built operating panel that enhances safety and increases efficiency. It does this by moving the control and operation of Eni Norge’s large number of valves to a single, safe location. The electronic operating panel works as a communication and verification system and enables an operator to control a sequence of actuated valves directly from the panel. Two operating panels were installed on a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessel built-for-use on the Goliat Field, the first oilfield to be developed in the Barents Sea.
