Oxford Stream, the movement management tools specialist, has initiated industrial trials of its ES stemless management valve with ADNOC. The pilot is a results of Oxford Stream’s success as a finalist in ADNOC’s inaugural Decarbonization Know-how Problem, held in collaboration with AWS, bp, Hub71 and Web Zero Know-how Centre, in 2023.

The ES valves are at the moment being piloted in stay working situations at Higher Zakum and Das Island – key manufacturing fields with excessive operational and environmental expectations. The pilot, performed in each onshore and offshore environments, goals to display the valve’s capacity to eradicate fugitive emissions whereas supporting ADNOC’s bold decarbonization targets.
This pilot marks a big step in Oxford Stream’s enlargement within the Center East and reinforces the corporate’s goal to accomplice with operators dedicated to real-world deployment of decarbonization applied sciences. Working alongside ADNOC in stay subject situations supplies a robust alternative to display the industrial and environmental advantages of next-generation valve expertise at scale.
The ES valve is without doubt one of the solely management valves confirmed by third-party testing to eradicate fugitive emissions. With no stem or exterior actuator, its compact design removes frequent failure factors, reduces upkeep necessities and permits a considerably smaller footprint. This makes it easier to put in and repair, extra dependable in excessive environments, and properly suited to high-performance purposes throughout upstream and downstream operations – supporting operators to chop emissions with out compromising on effectivity or sturdiness.
“Receiving a commendation in ADNOC’s Decarbonization Know-how Problem was a powerful endorsement of the expertise and its relevance to the trade’s web zero ambitions,” mentioned Neil Poxon, CEO at Oxford Stream. “Leaking valves are a serious, usually neglected, supply of emissions. By changing them, operators could make quick, materials progress in decarbonizing each onshore and offshore techniques. It’s a big step ahead to now see ADNOC piloting the ES valve in stay operations.”
The pilot follows rising worldwide momentum for Oxford Stream’s valve expertise, which is already in use throughout a number of markets together with North America. As operators face intensifying regulatory and stakeholder stress to scale back emissions, the ES valve gives a scalable, ready-to-deploy answer – notably in infrastructure that’s in any other case expensive or advanced to decarbonize.
