From Norway to Turkey, from Qatar to the UAE, and across to the United States, 2026 has already set a fast pace for Izomax.
The year began on home turf in Stavanger with the completion of Izomax Risk Management training, marking the introduction of our newly published Risk Management Framework and Risk Register. The session brought together colleagues from Technical, Projects, Sales and the Workshop, reinforcing how structured risk management supports better decision-making across our operations. Additional sessions are planned as part of a wider rollout.
January wrapped up with the women of IK Group attending Hockey & Heels in support of the children’s ward at the new Stavanger University Hospital. The event combined a strong cause with an opportunity to connect across teams and organisations.
Shortly after, Izomax completed its first operation in Turkey. What began as a threaded spade installation developed into a high-temperature hydrogen scope at 450°C, with limited time and no prior survey. In close collaboration with the client, the team adapted to the conditions on site and delivered the operation within the required timeframe.
February took Izomax to LNG2026 in Qatar, where Business Developer Morten Sirevåg and Customer Solutions Director Svein Tore Milwertz represented the company at one of the LNG industry’s key meeting points. This was followed by the Reliability Middle East Conference in the UAE, in partnership with SLB. At the conference, Morten Sirevåg presented how reliability can be increased without plant shutdown.
Across the Atlantic, VP Rune Sele and US Sales Representative Jerome Moorehead attended a workshop at Chevron’s Pascagoula Refinery. The session focused on how the AOGV can reduce 7–9 days of LPO by enabling isolation without shutdown.
The same week concluded with Izomax’s first webinar of the year, where Sales Manager Lynne Lyon presented how mechanical isolation using the AOGV can support maintenance and modification work while systems remain in operation.
It has been a strong start to 2026, with activity across operations, conferences, workshops, and digital engagement – and more to come.
