Hot Tapping Services

About hot tapping

Expert hot tapping for surface and subsea operations, plus downstream pipelines

We offer a flexible hot-tapping service for offshore production facilities, pipelines, valve boring and maintenance operations, as well as assisting at the late-life stage. We can help with the hot tapping of valves on wellheads, Christmas trees, check valves and all types of tubulars for both surface and subsea operations.

Our multi-skilled personnel have been providing hot tapping services around the globe for over 20 years. We can design, supply and operate robust, field-proven and fully integrated hot-tapping systems for the global upstream oil and gas industry as well as downstream petrochemical facilities working on pipelines, flare lines and valves.
