In 2022 INTAJ managed to successfully add yet another service line to its continually growing list of services. Pressure Control Services covers a wide variety of wellhead service and pressure control in the event of the failure of conventional pressure barriers.

This includes the process of drilling a hole through a pressure barrier using special equipment and procedures to ensure that the pressure and fluids are safely contained when access is made. Hot tapping is often used to enable access to the wellbore when wellhead valves jam closed. This process is commonly referred to as “HOT TAPPING”.

INTAJ has successfully completed a number of these types of jobs in the Oman region with a 100% success rate and no failures in equipment or any process related failures.

This pressure control procedure includes the following benefits:

  1. Full pressure containment to allow for simultaneous operations
  2. Proven to cut from standard steel pipe, through to dense materials such as honeycomb satellite
  3. Range of machines for applications up to 15,000 psi
  4. Modular systems provide flexible project applications
  5. Systems that enhance safety and operational efficiency
  6. Equalization-controlling orifice valve reduces dynamic shock to the pressure retaining components
  7. Provide multi-skilled personnel where required
