In-riser subsea well control operations where shearing and sealing of coiled tubing is required have traditionally required a two-valve mechanism: one to shear and one to seal. Using two valves to shear and seal coiled tubing takes time, and using additional tools adds an extra layer of risk.
In our view, when it came to demands for greater efficiency and simplicity in shearing and sealing braided wireline, slickline, and coiled tubing, many conventional systems didn’t seem to cut it.
So, we developed a solution – a single ball-valve that could shear and seal in just one operation
Solus™ – the single valve shear and seal solution for subsea well control
17 March 2026
We’re excited to launch Solus™, our unique high-debris single shear and seal ball valve system. Solus™ replaces the traditional two valve shear and seal functionality with just one. It changes the industry’s approach to subsea well intervention and completion with multiple benefits for subsea engineers, completions engineers, and well intervention engineers.
