Solus™

With greater high-debris capability than any other valve on the market, this is the precision single shear and seal ball valve that combines performance with reliability and operational excellence.  

Replacing the traditional two valve shear and seal functionality with just one , Solus™  revolutionizes the industry’s approach to well access, reducing operational risk and complexity while accelerating the drive toward more cost-efficient subsea completion and intervention.   

Our advanced equipment technology can be used in both in riser and open water applications across the entire well lifecycle - from exploration and appraisal and completion intervention and through well decommissioning.  

 Tested and validated in accordance with API Std 17G, Solus™ is the first fully NACE MR0175 compliant, fail-close, bi-directional, high-debris ball valve system that can shear and seal on wire and coiled tubing. It forms part of a subsea test tree assembly and intervention riser/riserless applications which includes a slick joint system for sealing with the pipe rams of the BOP stack. The valve isolates the well during testing or well intervention and ensures a complete liquid and gas seal post-shear. 

Solus™ modular design allows well isolation and disconnection efficiency from the well. Its small footprint, increased flexibility, and lighter weight match the industry’s advance in next generation smaller-sized blow-out preventer (BOP) stacks. 

Solus™ is the latest technology that demonstrates Expro’s innovation and expertise in systems integration, engineering excellence, and deep understanding of the industry’s needs.
