RIPI Produces Wellhead Valve Lubricants

The center for development of downstream petroleum industry at the Research Institute of Petroleum Industry is producing lubricants for wellhead valves, director of the research center said.
“The transfer of gas and liquid fluids in oil and gas complexes is one of the most important tasks of wellhead valves. In case of emergency, the flow of fluids can be established or stopped by opening and closing the valves. One of the things that should be considered in the maintenance of these valves is their lubrication,” the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana also quoted Mojgan Shirkhani as saying.
Shirkhani, who is in charge of the well lubricant production project, said improving the performance of valves and preventing their corrosion are one of the most important tasks of lubrication.
