WEBINAR – Advancing hot tap completion: Dual Seal Plug technology for safer, more efficient operations
Completion plugs have long represented a critical yet under-engineered stage in hot tapping operations, where traditional single-seal designs introduce an inherent and often unverified safety risk. Recent advancements in completion plug technology are now addressing this long-standing gap, delivering a step change in both operational integrity and personnel safety.
This live webinar will explore the latest developments in dual seal completion plug technology, focusing on how independently testable barriers and integrated verification capabilities are redefining best practice. Attendees will gain insight into how energized seals provide double block and bleed (DBB) isolation at the completion stage, eliminating reliance on single O-ring seals and removing the uncertainty of correct positioning and guaranteeing leak-tight isolation.
The session will also examine the engineering principles behind the functionality and testing of dual compression seals, mechanical lock verification, and fail-safe activation systems. In addition, it will highlight how these innovations improve sealing performance on imperfect geometries, streamline deployment, and reduce equipment requirements, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and reducing project timelines.
By attending, participants will better understand how next-generation completion plug solutions can improve safety compliance, minimise operational risk, and deliver long-term value across both onshore and subsea pipeline interventions.
