Noble Corporation’s Post

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.
