New Product Development driving growth in key Middle East markets

The development and launch of a number of new products has resulted in IMI Critical Engineering almost doubling its installed base of choke valves in the Middle East during the year.

Using the New Product Development processes that are now embedded across all of our businesses, IMI CCI developed and launched a new choke-valve product line, 100DMT (Drag Multi-Trim), specifically for the Middle Eastern oil and gas market. This new product range offers a multi-trim solution for high-flow environments and advanced noise abatement. As the energy industry faces the potential challenges of ‘lower-for-longer’ oil price and rising costs, the 100DMT provides customers with an innovative and cost-effective solution. The valve range allows customers to use one valve for the entire lifetime of the oil well. This is far better than the current situation which forces customers to undertake expensive maintenance and change-out valves as well pressures drop. With the 100DMT the total life costs of operation are dramatically reduced.
