Solus™

Expro’s innovative single-valve shear and seal ball valve solution that cuts out complexity in your subsea well access. High speed, with lower risk to your team on the rig floor, Solus™ is the autonomous valve you can rely on for a smoother operation and peace of mind.

Replacing the requirement for two valves with just one, Solus™  revolutionizes the industry’s approach to well access, reducing operational risk and complexity while accelerating the drive toward more cost-efficient subsea intervention.

Our advanced equipment technology can be used in both in riser and open water systems across the entire well lifecycle - from exploration and appraisal and completion intervention to plug and abandonment and decommissioning.

Tested and validated in accordance with API Std 17G, Solus™ is the first fully NACE MR0175 compliant fail-close bi-directional high-debris ball valve system that can shear and seal on wire and coiled tubing. It forms part of a subsea test tree assembly or blow-out preventer (BOP) slick joint system for sealing with the pipe rams of the BOP stack. The valve isolates the well during testing or well intervention and ensures a complete liquid and gas seal post-shear.

It is autonomous, faster than conventional manual operations, and reduces rig floor personnel. Its modular design allows isolation and disconnection from the well. Its small footprint, increased flexibility, and lighter weight match the industry’s advance in next generation smaller-sized BOP stacks and enables more efficient supply chain management. 

Solus™ is the latest technology that demonstrates Expro’s innovation and expertise in systems integration, engineering excellence, and deep understanding of the industry’s needs.
