Key milestones include opening an operational base in Saudi Arabia which facilitated the supply of large diameter (48”) subsea tapping and isolation services on a bypass project for a major client - the largest ever subsea isolation project of its kind in the world. The group also expanded across the US, secured its first subsea isolation project in Indonesia and signed a new partnership in Malaysia.
STATS has built a reputation for delivering high-integrity, safety-first solutions that align with the global energy sector’s shift toward lower-carbon operations. Its isolation tools reduce the need for flaring and venting, supporting both operational efficiency and sustainability.
With strong international growth, proven technologies and a commitment to innovation, STATS Group is not only a Scottish success story, it’s a global force in the future of pipeline safety and performance.
