Who We Are

Your Trusted Partner

When a pressurised pipeline needs repair, maintenance or modification, everyone on the worksite depends on the isolation holding. Since 1998, operators around the world have trusted STATS to make that worksite safe, keep as much of the system in service as possible and get the job done right - first time.

Why operators choose STATS

A record of delivery. We have completed thousands of successful pipeline isolations - onshore, topsides and subsea - for many of the world's largest operators.

Safety proven before work starts. For isolation, testing and mechanical connections, our leak-tight seals guarantee integrity - tested before work starts and monitored throughout. We hold ourselves to the same standard: safety is not negotiable at STATS Group. Our commitment to QHSE extends from our staff, to contractors and visitors on our sites, and to the communities and environments near our work.

Less gas released. We isolate only the section being worked on, so the rest of the pipeline stays pressurised. Gas that would otherwise be vented or flared stays in the pipe, which cuts your emissions and keeps supply running to your customers.

People and equipment close to you. We work from nine fully equipped bases across the UK, North America, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. Our technicians are employed locally and know the standards in their region. For a recent emergency in Saudi Arabia, we deployed a 56-inch line stopping tool from our Abu Dhabi base in 24 hours.

Engineering behind every job. We design, build and test our own equipment and run our own project engineering. Testing is matched to the job and the client, and on major projects the equipment is proven in our workshops before it reaches your site, with independent witnessing where required. More than 500 people and 21 patents stand behind that work.

Our Story

STATS began in Aberdeen in 1998 as a pipeline isolation and pressure testing specialist. Today we take responsibility for the whole job - isolation, hot tapping, line stopping, repair and integrity testing - with our own engineering, equipment and technicians.

We support pipelines through their whole life, from construction and maintenance to life extension and decommissioning, and on to hydrogen and carbon capture and storage. We carried out the world's first leak-tight isolation of a live high-pressure hydrogen pipeline, using technology already proven in oil and gas.

Services

Offshore / Subsea

8in Hot Tapping

Submarine pipelines are built to last, but failures still happen. When they do, you need a partner with DNV type-approved technology and the field expertise to repair your pipeline safely and efficiently.

Beyond repair, our solutions support safety critical valve replacement, tie-in and re-routing of pressurised pipelines for maintenance, abandonment or decommissioning.

Our range of subsea pipeline solutions includes inline isolation plugs, hot tapping and line stopping equipment, mechanical pipe connectors, structural repair clamps and pipeline retrieval tools.

Services

Onshore / Topside

Tecno Plug 12in RTP Valve Changeout

We provide onshore and topside solutions to the global energy sector: inline isolation plugs, hot tapping and line stopping equipment, mechanical pipe connectors, structural repair clamps, weld test tools and hot-work barriers.

Our consultation service helps operators find the right isolation, hot tapping or line stopping solution for piggable or unpiggable pipelines, avoiding unnecessary downtime and getting repairs done safely and efficiently.

The BISEP is mainly about improving safety for the people working in the excavation when we're completing the repair. It allows us to confirm that the isolation is safe, maintain gas supply and complete the repair. We've just safely completed two repairs on the gas pipeline that feeds Wellington, and the tool worked exactly how it was supposed to.

Emergency Pipeline Repair Systems

Despite good pipeline design and integrity management schemes, pipelines can and do get damaged. A pipeline’s out of service time following an incident can be significantly reduced by investing in an Emergency Pipeline Repair System.

Reduce unexpected downtime with our range of EPRS solutions, from non-intrusive inline isolations, hot tapping and line stopping, mechanical repair clamps and connectors. Pre-investment in equipment means it's ready and available to be deployed immediately, reducing downtime and maintaining supply.
