    ABERDEEN, UK – Baker Hughes has contracted Interventek to supply API-17G qualified 7.375-in. 10,000-psi (689-bar) in-riser landing strings for use in its subsea systems.

    The landing strings comprise Interventek’s shear-seal Revolution safety valve, a lubricator valve, a retainer valve, latch and ancillary equipment. In addition, the company will provide support for training, inspection, testing, maintenance, and deployment of the technology. Revolution employs separate cutting and sealing components that are said to ensure seal integrity. It is designed to cut through all forms of intervention media.

    Gavin Cowie, managing director at Interventek, said the arrangement could cover its in-riser and open-water well intervention systems, and a new lightweight controls package.
