Statoil’s Engineers were on site to review the recent NORSOK qualification by Aker Solutions.

As a result, W H Tildesley is now included on Statoil’s in-house M-650 list for NORSOK M-650 Ed.4 QTRs.

Sales & Marketing Manager Phil Hobley: “Obviously Statoil is a huge player in the Oil & Gas market, as is Aker who worked with us on the qualification itself. It gives us a lot of confidence in our processes to receive approval from two of the most respected operators in the industry.

Whilst the nature of W H Tildesley’s product means that we would probably never supply product directly into a company such as Statoil or even Aker, many of our existing customers certainly do. We have several live enquiries for forged components that will ultimately be supplied to support the Johan Sverdrup project.

We have been producing components under NORSOK qualifications since 2008” W H Tildesley produces a wide range of forged components including, Flanges, Nozzles, Valve Bodies, Valve Components and Fittings.

New M650 Edition 4 QTRs extend W H Tildesley’s qualification until mid-2020. Materials covered are duplex stainless steel F51 (UNS S31803) plus super duplex stainless steels F55 (UNS S32760) and austenitic stainless steel F44 or “6Mo” (UNS S31254).
