In the oil & gas industry, ball valves help ensure the safe and efficient operation of various processes in upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. Ball valves regulate fluid flow, maintain pressure and temperature levels, and provide isolation and control for various industrial applications where liquids are involved such as in the pipeline and distribution infrastructure. In the oil & gas industry, ball valves are used in pipeline systems transporting and distributing crude oil, natural gas, and other refined products, as they provide tight shutoff, high flow capacity, and quick operation. As these valves provide high performance for high-pressure conditions and supply tight sealing and emergency shutoff, they are considered a suitable solution for a wellhead control system to manage oil and gas flow from production wells. Also, they are used to isolate wellheads during drilling, completion, and production phases to ensure safety and control over the flow of oil and gas.
