Largest slab gate valve produced in PetrolValves
ConocoPhillips Makes FID to develop the Willow Project
PetrolValves is working on a 42 ” isolation valve Class ASME 1500 through a conduit Slab Gate Valve ( reverse acting ) with an electric actuator for an onshore gas terminal . Such a majestic size valve is beginning to take shape as it is currently being carved out of its 70-tons body in the Castellanza workshop . “ We embrace the technical challenges that come with
building Slab Gate Valves of such dimensions ,” said Sandro Malquori , CEO of PetrolValves Group . “ While this is the largest Slab Gate Valve ever produced in PetrolValves , with the combination 42 ” and Class ASME 1500 , many of our Double Expanding Valves have been operating in the Nordic area for over 30 years .”
ConocoPhillips ( COP ) will move forward with the development of the Willow project in Alaska . This Final Investment Decision approves the project and funds construction needed to reach the first oil . When completed , Willow is estimated to produce approximately 600 million barrels across the lifetime of the project , decreasing American dependence on foreign energy
supplies . Designed to support and coexist with subsistence activities on Alaska ’ s North Slope , the Willow project underwent five years of rigorous regulatory and environmental review . Willow will be built using materials primarily made and sourced in the U . S . and has the potential to create over 2,500 construction jobs and approximately 300 longterm jobs .
