Oxford Move, the stream management gear specialist, has initiated industrial trials of its ES stemless management valve with ADNOC. The pilot is a results of Oxford Move’s success as a finalist in ADNOC’s inaugural Decarbonization Expertise Problem, held in collaboration with AWS, bp, Hub71 and Internet Zero Expertise Centre, in 2023.

The ES valves are at the moment being piloted in reside working situations at Higher Zakum and Das Island – key manufacturing fields with excessive operational and environmental expectations. The pilot, carried out in each onshore and offshore environments, goals to show the valve’s capability to get rid of fugitive emissions whereas supporting ADNOC’s bold decarbonization targets.
This pilot marks a major step in Oxford Move’s growth within the Center East and reinforces the corporate’s intention to companion with operators dedicated to real-world deployment of decarbonization applied sciences. Working alongside ADNOC in reside area situations supplies a robust alternative to show 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 via third-party testing to get rid of fugitive emissions. With no stem or exterior actuator, its compact design removes widespread failure factors, reduces upkeep necessities and permits a considerably smaller footprint. This makes it less complicated to put in and repair, extra dependable in excessive environments, and effectively suited to high-performance functions throughout upstream and downstream operations – supporting operators to chop emissions with out compromising on effectivity or sturdiness.
“Receiving a commendation in ADNOC’s Decarbonization Expertise Problem was a powerful endorsement of the expertise and its relevance to the business’s internet zero ambitions,” stated Neil Poxon, CEO at Oxford Move. “Leaking valves are a serious, typically neglected, supply of emissions. By changing them, operators could make quick, materials progress in decarbonizing each onshore and offshore techniques. It’s a major step ahead to now see ADNOC piloting the ES valve in reside operations.”
The pilot follows rising worldwide momentum for Oxford Move’s valve expertise, which is already in use throughout a number of markets together with North America. As operators face intensifying regulatory and stakeholder strain to scale back emissions, the ES valve affords a scalable, ready-to-deploy answer – notably in infrastructure that’s in any other case expensive or advanced to decarbonize.
