BuTech high-performance valves in deepwater subsea operations
INDUSTRY UPDATE
As offshore oil and gas developments expand into deeper waters and more technically challenging environments, the industry continues to prioritize equipment reliability, pressure integrity, and lifecycle performance. In deepwater operations, where maintenance interventions are costly and production downtime can have significant financial and environmental implications, the performance of critical flow-control components has never been more important. BuTech has developed a portfolio of subsea-specific ball, needle, and check valves designed to address the unique challenges of high-pressure offshore environments. Engineered with externally sealed designs, corrosion-resistant materials, and qualification pathways aligned with recognized industry standards, these solutions are deployed across subsea control systems, chemical injection packages, wellheads, Christmas trees, and intervention equipment worldwide.
Technip Energies wins L & T offshore engineering contract
Atomstroyexport, KNPP sign Balkhash NPP contract
Technip Energies has been awarded a significant engineering services contract by Larsen & Toubro Energy Hydrocarbon for a major ADNOC Offshore project in the United Arab Emirates. The project covers the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning of new offshore facilities, together with modifications and upgrades to existing infrastructure. Technip Energies will provide detailed engineering services, drawing on its local engineering
capabilities and experience with large-scale offshore projects in the Middle East. The award was recorded in Q3 2026 in Technip Energies’ Technology, Products & Services segment. A‘ significant’ contract for Technip Energies represents between € 50 million and EUR 250 million of revenue. The award also builds on the long-standing collaboration between Technip Energies and Larsen & Toubro across upstream, downstream, and energy infrastructure projects worldwide.
Kazakhstan Nuclear Power Plants and Rosatom subsidiary Atomstroyexport have signed an EPC contract for the 2,400 MW Balkhash nuclear power plant near Ulken in Kazakhstan. The project comprises two power units with a combined electrical capacity of 2,400 MW and will be built in the Zhambyl District of Kazakhstan’ s Almaty Region. The plant will use two VVER-1200 Generation III + water-cooled power reactors, each with an electrical output of 1,200 MW.
Rosatom is leading the international consortium responsible for project delivery, covering design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover of the completed facility to the customer. Site investigation work, which began in August 2025, is continuing at the proposed plant location. More than 60 boreholes have been drilled to depths of up to 120 m, with samples collected for laboratory analysis to determine the optimal locations for the power units.
AMPO POYAM VALVES to supply 5,550 + valves
AMPO POYAM VALVES is supplying more than 5,550 engineered cryogenic and non-cryogenic valves for the North Field South onshore LNG facilities project in Ras Laffan, Qatar. The project, developed by QatarEnergy LNG, involves the construction of two new LNG mega trains, each with a capacity of 8 million tonnes per annum( MTPA). Associated scope includes gas treatment facilities, natural gas liquids recovery units, helium extraction and refining systems, and a CO2 carbon capture and sequestration facility rated at 1.5 Mtpa. The project has stated a target of more than 25 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to similar LNG facilities. The engineering, procurement, and construction( EPC) contract is being executed by a joint venture of Technip Energies France and CCC on behalf of QatarEnergy LNG. AMPO POYAM VALVES’ scope of supply covers gate, globe, and check valves for both cryogenic and non-cryogenic services. The package includes large-sized, high-pressure valves, notably 60-inch, 900 lbs pressure seal gate valves. www. valve-world. net Valve World October 2026
