Oliver Valves has supplied a Double Block and Bleed (DBB) Injection Probe Valve to SBM Offshore’s Fast4Ward® Multi-Purpose Floater (MPF) hull programme, reinforcing our role as a trusted partner in some of the world’s most significant offshore energy projects.

The Fast4Ward® concept is reshaping the FPSO market. By standardising hulls and topsides modules, SBM Offshore can accelerate delivery schedules, reduce project risk, and bring deepwater developments online faster. For operators such as TotalEnergies, this approach offers an efficient route to market while maintaining flexibility for project-specific requirements.

Our DBB Injection Probe Valve is designed for critical chemical dosing duties, safely introducing inhibitors and treatment fluids into the process stream. With integral double isolation and bleed functionality, it provides operators with a compact and robust solution that enhances safety, simplifies maintenance, and supports long-term flow assurance.

This project marks the first of several valve packages supplied into the Fast4Ward® programme by Oliver Valves. Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing further updates on the wider scope of our engineered valve solutions that contribute to the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of SBM’s FPSO fleet.

Neil Barnett, Project Sales Manager at Oliver Valves, commented:

"Supporting projects like Fast4Ward® is an excellent example of how Oliver’s engineering expertise and proven designs are helping operators meet the challenges of modern offshore production. Our injection probe valve range continues to deliver the reliability and performance our clients demand, even in the harshest environments."
