DNV type approved isolation tools provide leak-tight double block and bleed isolation that enables safe and efficient maintenance and repair of onshore, topsides and subsea pipeline infrastructure.

Our Process Plant Solutions offer hot-work barriers and localised hydrostatic weld test tools to verifying the integrity of welds or fittings, reducing system downtime, minimising environmental impact and increasing worksite safety. Mechanical pipe connectors replace the need for welding, significantly reducing expenditure and associated risks with hot-work.

A History of Excellence

We have gained an excellent reputation for providing a responsive, client-centred approach combined with expertise and innovative products which:

Drive higher levels of safety in the industry

Enhance environmental performance by reducing flaring and venting activities

Improve asset performance while reducing system or plant downtime

Support the industry transition to a low carbon future

Project management and engineering services are provided to support client needs including turnaround scopes, feasibility studies and contingency planning. Our in-house expertise extends over the entire lifecycle of hydrocarbon assets from construction, maintenance, asset life extension, through to decommissioning and on to hydrogen transportation, carbon capture and storage.

We provide high quality, fit-for-purpose solutions to ensure that the pipework and pipeline infrastructure of our clients meet the technical, safety and environmental standards required.

Headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland, we operate globally through a growing network of operational bases, branch offices and partners.

Corporate Responsibility

We seek to demonstrate honesty and integrity in everything that we do. We have an excellent reputation for conducting all our business in accordance with the highest standard of ethical conduct. We are rightly proud of this reputation believing good business is undertaken with honesty and in full and transparent compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.

Values

Our business is built on our core values which allow us to deliver our vision. We’re committed to conducting our business in a respectful, socially responsible and ethical manner. We comply with the laws that apply to us, support global commitments on human rights, seek to protect the environment and support the communities where we live and work.

Safe & Healthy

We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for our employees, our communities, and visitors to our premises. We’re equally committed to preventing harm to the environment from our operational activities. We have adopted the (IOGP) Life-Saving Rules. The Life-Saving Rules aim to help with industry standardisation and learning to eliminate fatalities within the workplace.

Respect

We are committed to providing an open and honest working environment. We commit to ensuring our employees, suppliers, clients, communities and other stakeholders are treated with respect and consideration. We are proud of the diversity our employees represent and strive to treat everyone fairly and with respect. We are committed to providing a working environment free from harassment and intimidation and to provide a positive influence on the communities where we operate.

External Relationships

We reject all forms of bribery or corruption. We seek honest, open relationships with all of our business partners. We have a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption.

Compliance

At STATS Group, we’re all responsible for compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to us, wherever we operate.

Speak Up

We encourage our employees, and those involved with our business to “speak up” should they have concerns about unethical behaviours or activities within STATS. This includes activities that are in any way related to us or our employees, clients, suppliers or other stakeholders.

Human Rights

Respect for human rights is fundamental to STATS Group values of honesty, integrity and respect for people. We want to make a positive impact and help to support vulnerable groups in society. We aim to prevent opportunities for modern slavery to occur within our businesses or supply chains.

We are committed to incorporating sustainability into our core activities to assess and measure our social and environmental impact. Setting targets that will create positive changes while maintaining a sustainable business with purpose, for the benefit of people and the planet. 

We have aligned our sustainability strategy with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to provide a framework for action to create a better and more sustainable future for all.

Repair & Maintenance
Large pipeline sections and process plant modules are vented in order to facilitate valve and pipe maintenance.

Our temporary isolation tools minimise this requirement by providing safe, local isolation where incumbent valves are not available. If suitable isolation valves are not available, which is often the case, then the entire pipeline needs to be depressurised, potentially venting and flaring gas into the atmosphere.

Double block, temporary pipeline isolation tools can be used to safely isolate the pressurised pipeline without having to depressurise the entire pipeline.

This approach avoids the discharge of significant quantities of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

Compliance

We actively manage compliance throughout our group in all jurisdictions that we operate.

Anti-Money Laundering

We seek to ensure we comply in all respects with all applicable legislations in the jurisdictions where we operate in with regard to Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds. We seek to validate our existing, new client and supplier relationships to promote full surety of fund sources and destinations.

Tax

We ensure we comply with all tax laws in the jurisdictions where we work and operate. We have a firm anti-tax avoidance policy and do not support tax evasion or the facilitation of that through our organisation or on behalf of our clients, suppliers or stakeholders.

Sanctions

We always ensure we are complaint with any applicable sanctions at all times. It is essential the company and its stakeholders, customers and suppliers uphold the highest standards of compliance with the laws as written or altered by any applicable government.

Anti-Corruption

We recognise that bribery and corruption have a detrimental effect on communities wherever they occur. Ingrained corrupt practices can threaten the fabric of society by undermining laws, democratic processes and basic human freedoms, leading to the impoverishment of states and damaging trade and competition. Corruption is often associated with organised crime, money laundering and on occasions the financing of terrorism. It is our policy to maintain the highest level of ethical standards in the conduct of our business affairs and we have a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption.

Legal Requirements

We commit to always comply with all the laws of any jurisdiction where we operate, perform work, or transact. In terms of anti-corruption legislation, we will extend the highest principles of the applicable laws into all the territories of execution, operation, and transaction. This compliance expectation extends to the conduct of our client, employees, suppliers and stakeholders.

Confidentiality

Our business is built around the preservation of our own proprietary concepts and knowledge. We seek to protect these rights when they are being used in the course of our business and we ensure that where information, data, trade secrets or ideas are shared with us by others, that we take the same level of care as we would with our own information at all times.

Industry Bodies

Our activity participates in the wider energy industry and our aim is to be at the forefront of technology, standards development and compliance. Our vision is to drive higher levels of safety and support the industry in the transition to a low carbon future. Our focus on innovation means we’re ideally placed to continue this support, not only in the traditional hydrocarbon sector, but also as the industry transitions to more sustainable energy supplies.

QHSE

As a provider of products and services to the global energy industry, the early reputation of STATS was built on innovation, value and fast response. These qualities remain key features of the company philosophy and are applied in conjunction with an Integrated Management System to meet the expectations of a modern competitive business environment.

Life-Saving Rules

We have adopted the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) Life-Saving Rules. This simplified set of Life-Saving Rules was created to provide workers in the industry with the actions they can take to protect themselves and their colleagues from fatalities. IOGP’s vision of success is for the whole industry to adopt IOGP’s Life-Saving Rules.

IOGP’s Life-Saving Rules:

  • Enables better transfer of knowledge, experience and lessons learned
  • Increases individual awareness ownership of critical safeguards that prevent fatalities
  • Is a step towards an industry-wide common safety language
  • Allows for ease of implementation and consistent use by contractors and operators

The Life-Saving Rules aim to help with industry standardisation and learning to eliminate fatalities within the workplace.
