Engineered Solutions | Seal Tube Pipeline Pull-In

Project management and engineering services are provided to support client needs including turnaround scopes, feasibility studies and contingency planning. Our in-house expertise covers the plants lifecycle from pre-commissioning through to decommissioning and abandonment.

Every product in the STATS portfolio is designed, manufactured, assembled, tested and maintained by our own in-house engineers and technicians.

Project Management

Process & Pipeline Isolation

STATS Group are a trusted partner in providing pipeline isolation services. Our dedicated team offer a consultation service to assist operators in assessing the optimum solution for their pipeline isolation requirements. Our comprehensive range of products and services provide the highest practical pipeline isolation integrity for the application.

STATS extensive Tecno Plug range provides fail-safe Double Block and Bleed pipeline isolation tools for high pressure applications while the system remains live and at operating pressure. Dual seal Tecno Plugs enable maintenance work to be carried out safely and efficiently while meeting industry-led Double Block and Bleed requirements.

The dual seals provide an annulus void which can be pressure tested to verify both seals are leak tight before maintenance work is carried out. Once the seal integrity has been proved the annulus is then vented to ambient to create a zero-energy zone, providing effective Double Block and Bleed isolation. Available for remote, tethered, piggable or manual deployment and operation, STATS Tecno Plugs provide a robust system for safety critical activities.

STATS have designed and manufactured a number of world-class products, which have led major operators to reassess how they manage intervention and isolation projects.

Pipeline intervention and isolation can be achieved using STATS patented fail-safe BISEP. This high integrity isolation is provided by a spherical dual seal plug deployed through a single full bore hot tap penetration. The dual seals provide an annulus void which can be pressure tested to verify both seals are leak tight before maintenance work is carried out. Once the seal integrity has been proved the annulus is then vented to ambient to create a zero-energy zone, providing effective Double Block and Bleed isolation.

Intervention & IsolationSmall Diameter

The BI-STOP small bore intervention and isolation service provides a unique system that has been developed to address problems with small bore pipework that have absent or limited isolation facilities. The system enables small bore pipework and branches to be isolated, cut and terminated with a full bore valve whilst the system remains live.

In-Line Weld Test Tool | Localised Hydrostatic Test

In-Line and Flanged Weld Test Tools are commonly used during the maintenance and modification of piping or process equipment, enabling localised pressure testing. Inserted into the piping or equipment component to be tested, Weld Test Tools provide a fast and efficient method of verifying the integrity of butt welds, joints or other welded pipe components.

Hydrostatic Test

STATS patented Pipe End Plugs are used primarily in construction and fabrication of the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Pipe End Plugs facilitate hydrostatic leak and strength tests by providing a cap to open-ended pipe, pipe spools or piping systems. Internal and External Pipe End Plugs (I-PEP & E-PEP) allow the pipework to be quickly and efficiently pressure tested with minimum preparation to the pipe end and no remedial work after removal.

Mechanical Connectors provide a reliable, cost effective alternative to welded flange connections and terminations. The slipover design and mechanical locking assembly significantly reduces system downtime and risk. Easily installed to enable pipe repair, tie-in or capping of redundant lines.

Weldless Connection

Similarly Hot Tap Clamps when supplied with locks and seals provide structural containment, fitted with a branched off-take to suit system specification. Hot Tap Clamps enable efficient connection of new branch pipework to existing infrastructure without the requirement for welding.

STATS Repair Clamps are engineered and manufactured for simple installation on damaged or leaking pipework to fully restore pressure integrity. Locks and dual seals provide structural containment, transferring the full axial load of the pipe to the clamp body allowing the clamp to withstand full pipeline separation loads.

Process & Pipeline Repair

STATS provide a range of pipe handling equipment for the safe and controlled handling of piles, pipelines and caissons. Internal and External Lifting Tools (ILT & ELT) cover a range of sizes for pile handling and caisson removal. STATS Pipeline Retrieval Tools (PRT) provide subsea pipeline recovery.

STATS have developed a diverse range of pipeline isolation and repair products covering subsea oil, gas and marine pipelines. Our subsea portfolio is built around our commitment to continued R&D and product development.

STATS partner major operators in the development and support of Emergency Pipeline Repair Isolation Systems (EPRIS) to minimise the downtime of damaged subsea pipelines. An incident from an anchor drag or dropped object can be catastrophic to the environment and transportation of hydrocarbons.

The primary reason for an EPRIS is to ensure rapid response, minimising environmental and commercial impact by ensuring resumption of full production as soon as possible. STATS EPRIS and subsea services provide fully engineered emergency pipeline repair equipment, designed, manufactured and maintained in a state of readiness in accordance with client specifications. Our EPRIS equipment comprises remote piggable pipeline isolation Tecno Plugs, Pipeline Retrieval Tools and dual seal Structural Repair Clamps.

Onsite Machining Services | Cold Tapping

STATS Hot and Cold Tapping services allow a branch connection to be made into piping or vessels while the system remains live and under working pressure, allowing continuous system operation and avoiding unplanned shutdowns and service interruptions. STATS provide a safe and cost effective solution to allow efficient tie-ins for repair or modification purposes while under full operating conditions, therefore reducing asset downtime.

STATS can provide a turnkey packaged approach from clamp or tee installation through to isolation of line content, inclusive of slab valve and completion flange provision. STATS will undertake system engineering analysis and project engineering as part of this service.
