The technical strengths of Severn Glocon, the UK-based control valve and actuators designers and manufactures, combined with a successful track record of contractual achievements in the region, have been recognised with the award of an important contract for another major Middle East oil industry project.

The company has been selected by contractor JGC of Japan to supply control valves on the Bab Field Development EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) project ordered by the Abu Dhabi Company for onshore oil operations (Adco).
To date Severn Glocon has received orders for nearly one hundred valves for delivery early in 2004.

Severn Glocon's selection by JGC follows the company's successful performance on the Saudi Aramco Haradh Gas Processing project, which was recognised by the award of a coveted JGC Project Appreciation Certificate.

The Bab Field Development project will deliver a 100,000 bpd (barrel per day) expansion of production from the Rumaitha and Al Dabbiya fields to a maximum level of 350,000 bpd.
