Oilgear

A large high pressure manifold for aerospace products went through witness testing this week at Oilgear Leeds, UK with our customer who appreciated the compact solution Oilgear provided, The Oilgear design reduced the installation footprint and piping complexity. This manifold replaces 3 existing manifolds and a huge amount of piping. Potential leak points and fire hazards have been eliminated and fault finding made simpler through the integrated diagnostics designed into the manifold. Our Oilgear UK Engineering Manager (Darren Pratt) sends his thanks and appreciation to everyone who has had a hand in this and commented that "It was good to see everyone working together to satisfy our customer needs." Once on site the Oilgear UK Field Service team will be on a tight schedule to remove all the existing equipment and install and commission the new system and have the machine fully functioning before August. A special mention to the following people; Mechanical Design:     Deepak Mishrikoti GA drawings and BOM:   Gurpal Panesar. Electrical Engineering:     Hamed Adefuwa, Ian Warren Hydraulic Build:               Jae Bruines, Callum Dyson, Martin Gilks Wiring and Panel:            Aaron Firth, Vicky Lane, Joe Barnett Eng Support to Build:      Gurpal Panesar Test Panel:                        Hamed Adefuwa, Vicky Lane, Ian Warren Supply Chain:                  Doug Hefferon (Thanks for the quick supply of V4A-B), Marie Helliwell Planning:                         Matt O’Leary Customer Support, and site management:    James Shaw, Justin Marshall and Steve Thompson

Noble is constantly striving to use components that reduce downtime and increase safety, as a benefit to our crews and our customers. Our collaboration with Oilgear has grown since 2019 when we were the first company to successfully field trial and install Oilgear SPM valves on a BOP control POD. The Oilgear Multifunction SPM valve is a completely new design which can be installed in Normally Closed, Normally Open, Normally Closed Bias, and Normally Open Bias applications with no changes to the valve. This simplifies operations and maintenance while eliminating the possibility of installing a valve in incorrectly. The evolution of BOP components is an effort that should be cooperative between manufacturers and end-users. The safety stakes are high, and the functional improvements are appealing. We appreciate the opportunity to support vendors who are as invested as we are in operational excellence.
