Join us in re-defining the (Im)possible – the Izomax way.

Izomax has been awarded a contract for one of the world’s largest international energy companies on a major FPSO offshore Nigeria.

The project will support the replacement of critical heat exchangers without shutting down the FPSO. Using the AOGV, the required isolation can be established while the facility remains operational, allowing the maintenance work to be completed without a conventional shutdown.

Keeping production online

Taking an FPSO offline for maintenance can involve significant production losses and shutdown-related costs, in addition to the operational complexity associated with taking the facility offline and subsequently returning it to stable production.

For this project, keeping the FPSO operational is expected to avoid production losses and shutdown-related costs amounting to hundreds of millions of USD.

The AOGV will enable the required isolation to be established while the facility remains operational, supporting the replacement of the critical heat exchangers without interrupting production.

Another major project for the AOGV

The award represents another significant project for the Izomax team and reflects continued confidence in the AOGV as a trusted solution for shutdown-free maintenance.

With the project set to take place offshore Nigeria, it also adds to the growing number of AOGV projects being delivered across different regions and operating environments worldwide.

June was another busy month across Izomax, with teams travelling, meeting customers, strengthening partnerships, and supporting projects across multiple regions.

From North America and Asia to Europe and the Norwegian Continental Shelf, the month reflected both the growing global presence of the AOGV and the long-term relationships that continue to develop with operators around the world.

Valve World across two continents

June began in Calgary, where Sales Manager Norway Gina Charlott Bergseteren and Business Development Consultant Tarryl Hektner represented Izomax at Valve World Americas Expo & Conference together with SLB. Throughout the event, the team met operators and industry professionals to discuss how the AOGV enables shutdown-free mechanical isolation and supports maintenance and modification work on live systems.

A few weeks later, the team headed to Shanghai for Valve World Asia Expo & Conference. Sales Manager Australia Alex Follington was joined by Sales Director Allan Martin, with Alex also presenting Streamline Maintenance – Replace Valves without Shutdown, sharing how operators can streamline maintenance by replacing valves while keeping systems online.@

Supporting customers in the field

Beyond industry events, teams continued supporting customers across multiple regions.

In Spain, UK Sales Manager Lynne Lyon and Senior Sales Engineer Sebastián Charaf visited a refinery in Castellón to introduce the AOGV to operations and maintenance representatives from a global supermajor, discussing how positive mechanical isolation can support future maintenance activities without shutdowns.

Strengthening long-term partnerships

June also marked two important commercial milestones.

Izomax extended its frame agreement with the largest operator on the Norwegian Continental Shelf while also signing a new global framework agreement with a global supermajor following successful project deliveries across APAC, Africa, North America, and Europe.

Together, these agreements mean Izomax now holds long-term agreements with three of the world’s five largest operators, with a fourth already in progress. The agreements reflect growing confidence in the AOGV and its ability to deliver safe mechanical isolation for maintenance and modification work on live systems.

Looking ahead

The pace continues into July.

With operations underway from the United States to Malaysia and from Norway to Azerbaijan, the Izomax team will also be travelling to Houston for Reuters Events Downstream 2026 and California for PVP 2026.

Izomax has recently marked two important milestones, reflecting continued confidence in the AOGV and the role it plays in supporting maintenance and modification work on live systems.

Most recently, Izomax signed a global framework agreement with a global supermajor, formalising a relationship that already spans multiple continents. Over recent years, Izomax has successfully delivered projects for the operator across Asia Pacific, Africa, North America, and Europe. The agreement provides a framework for future collaboration as activity continues to grow across these regions.

In parallel, Izomax has also extended its frame agreement with the largest operator on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. With this renewal, Izomax now holds frame agreements with two of the three largest operators on the NCS.

Together, these agreements represent continued confidence in the AOGV and its ability to provide positive mechanical isolation on live systems without shutdowns, hot work, or permanent modifications to the process plant.

They also reflect a broader trend. This is the third time in three years that a major operator has entered into a long-term agreement with Izomax. With the latest award, Izomax now holds long-term agreements with three of the world’s five largest operators, with a fourth already in progress.

As activity continues to expand across both global and regional markets, these agreements provide a strong foundation for future collaboration and continued support of safe and efficient operations.

To learn more about how the AOGV is being used in the field, explore our case studies.

From customer visits and project activity to awareness initiatives and upcoming events, it’s been a busy period across the Izomax team.

In Rotterdam, we joined colleagues from across IK Group at the Aramco Technology Roadshow, where Business Developer Morten Sirevåg presented how the AOGV can increase reliability without shutdowns.

Across North America, activity continues both on site and in the office. Our new facilities in The Woodlands are taking shape while teams have been busy visiting customer sites, progressing projects, and preparing for upcoming work.

Back in Stavanger, May gave us plenty to celebrate. Across locations, teams marked the Norwegian National Day, while employees swapped workwear for football jerseys during Fotballtrøyefredag to help raise awareness for children and young people affected by cancer. The initiative came from employees and highlighted an important cause in a simple but visible way.

May concluded at Energistafetten, where the Izomax team represented both on and off the track. Together with our sister companies IK Topside, IK Subsea, and Norclamp, we sponsored Etappe 2 as part of IK Group, while our running team IZO-motion improved on last year’s result and proved the competitive spirit is still very much alive.

Also out in the field is Thyra, our pink AOGV. Created as part of an Izomax initiative to increase visibility around Pink Ribbon and breast cancer research within the industry, Thyra is currently supporting a major tie-in and isolation scope on a live gas system. Whenever Thyra is deployed, Izomax donates to the Pink Ribbon campaign on behalf of both Izomax and the client once the project is completed. Read more about the Thyra initiative here.

And there is more ahead.

Right now, Sales Manager Norway Gina Charlott Bergseteren is in Canada attending Valve World Americas together with SLB, working closely with Business Development Consultant Tarryl Hektner. You’ll find her at the SLB stand – A06.

Later this month, Sales Director Allan Martin will join Sales Manager Alex Follington at Valve World Asia, where Alex will present: Streamline Maintenance – Replace Valves without Shutdown.

Safe to say, there is plenty happening across regions, and plenty more ahead.

Want to get in touch with our team? Contact your local sales manager here.

Energistafetten is approaching, and once again the Izomax team will be joining colleagues across IK Group as we prepare for this year’s race.

Organised by Bedriftsidretten in Rogaland, Energistafetten brings together colleagues, friends, families, and teams from across the region for an evening centred around activity, teamwork, and community. The event has become a well-established tradition in Stavanger and reflects Bedriftsidretten’s wider mission of creating inclusive arenas for physical activity and social connection.

As part of IK Group, we are proud to sponsor Etappe 2 together with our sister companies IK Topside, IK Subsea, and Norclamp. If you’re tackling the climb towards Vålandstårnet, you’ll find us at the exchange zone cheering runners on and keeping energy levels up.

On the trail itself, our relay team, IZO-motion, is back in action and ready to take on the route, the competition, and whatever the Stavanger weather decides to deliver on race day.

Events like Energistafetten are a great reminder that teamwork happens both in and outside the workplace. Bringing together colleagues across companies, offices, and disciplines is part of what makes the event a yearly highlight.
