STATS Group Completes 12 Pipeline Isolations for Malaysian Operator

摘要

Pipeline technology specialist STATS Group completed an extensive pipeline isolation campaign offshore and onshore Malaysia. The six-month campaign covered 12 pipeline isolations on behalf of partner Handal Energy Berhad for a major operator in Malaysia. The work included inline pipeline isolation to allow the live repair and replacement of valves on onshore and offshore assets in West Malaysia and Sarawak. This represents the largest integrated campaign undertaken by STATS in the region. STATS supplies pressurized pipeline isolation, hot-tapping and plugging services to the global oil, gas and petrochemical industries. The company's DNV GL-approved isolation tools provide leak-tight, double-block and bleed isolation of pressurized pipelines while the system remains live and at operating pressure. The Remote Tecno Plugs (RTPs) used ranged from 12 to 32 inches (305 to 813 mm). Teams from STATS Beranang workshop in Kuala Lumpur, backed up by personnel from the United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates, worked jointly to complete the projects safely and on schedule.
