Apache North Sea Production

Project: Beryl Bravo Platform
Location: Beryl Field, North Sea, UK Sector
Products: ABLE v-Trakka Valve Position Transmitter

Apache have already effectively deployed ABLE’s unique v-Trakka Universal Christmas Tree Valve Position Transmitter across its Forties Delta and Beryl Alpha Platforms. For Beryl Bravo, space constraints resulting from the implementation of a new valve design called for a modification of the v-Trakka to suit. The necessary space saving was achieved by changing the original perpendicular transmitter arrangement to a more compact flat face device, facilitating mounting in the horizontal plane.

Apache recently evaluated and approved the indicator mounted redesign and have subsequently placed an order for 100 v-Trakkas. ABLE now have a proven product that is compatible with all primary manufacturer’s Christmas Tree Valve configurations.
