The Yamal LNG project will develop one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world which, following the construction of an LNG plant will supply energy to Europe and Asia. The project is located on the estuary of the River Ob within the Yamal Peninsula, an area which experiences sub-zero temperatures for the majority of the year, so valves supplied for the project were subjected to manufacturing processes and tested under cryogenic conditions.

A total of 638 highly specialized fast-track safety valves were supplied for the project, 185 of which were “super-fast-track” deliveries, to meet critical installation and start-up schedules.

“This contract award is indicative of the outstanding valve performance which our engineers can deliver in partnership with major customers such as Yamgaz,” said Ali Atmani, Sales & Marketing Director for Weir Flow Control France. “We have a strong track record for delivering highly engineered solutions for worldwide projects. We are ideally placed to collaborate on complex specifications and to continually innovate upon our product offering, especially in critical and super-critical applications within the oil and gas markets where demanding environments, high pressures, and extensive temperature differentials are involved.”
