ADNOC pilots Oxford Flow's groundbreaking emissions eliminating ES valve
Oxford, UK: Oxford Flow, the flow control equipment specialist, has initiated commercial trials of its ES stemless control valve with ADNOC. The pilot is a result of Oxford Flow's success as a finalist in ADNOC's inaugural Decarbonization Technology Challenge, held in collaboration with AWS, bp, Hub71 and Net Zero Technology Centre, in 2023. The ES valves are currently being piloted in live operating conditions at Upper Zakum and Das Island - key production fields with high operational and environmental expectations. The pilot, conducted in both onshore and offshore environments, aims to demonstrate the valve's ability to eliminate fugitive emissions while supporting ADNOC's ambitious decarbonisation targets. This pilot marks a significant step in Oxford Flow's expansion in the Middle East and reinforces the company's aim to partner with operators committed to real-world deployment of decarbonisation technologies. Working alongside ADNOC in live field conditions provides a powerful opportunity to demonstrate the commercial and environmental benefits of next-generation valve technology at scale. The ES valve is one of the only control valves proven through third-party testing to eliminate fugitive emissions. With no stem or external actuator, its compact design removes common failure points, reduces maintenance requirements and enables a significantly smaller footprint. This makes it simpler to install and service, more reliable in extreme environments, and well suited to high-performance applications across upstream and downstream operations - supporting operators to cut emissions without compromising on efficiency or durability. Neil Poxon, CEO at Oxford Flow, said: 'Receiving a commendation in ADNOC's Decarbonization Technology Challenge was a strong endorsement of the technology and its relevance to the industry's net zero ambitions. Leaking valves are a major, often overlooked, source of emissions. By replacing them, operators can make fast, material progress in decarbonising both onshore and offshore systems. It's a significant step forward to now see ADNOC piloting the ES valve in live operations.' The pilot follows growing international momentum for Oxford Flow's valve technology, which is already in use across multiple markets including North America. As operators face intensifying regulatory and stakeholder pressure to reduce emissions, the ES valve offers a scalable, ready-to-deploy solution - particularly in infrastructure that is otherwise costly or complex to decarbonise. About Oxford Flow Oxford Flow is a leading manufacturer of advanced valve technologies, known for precision and innovative design. We specialise in creating flow control equipment, particularly valves and regulators that are distinguished by a unique piston design. This design minimises moving parts, reducing maintenance needs and eliminating emissions, offers enhanced performance and reliability. Our product range includes gas and liquid regulators, actuated valves and ancillary products, each designed to provide superior performance, safety and durability. Oxford Flow's products leverage cutting-edge research and development to address common issues in valve technology such as leakage and component failure, thereby delivering cost-effective and efficient solutions globally.

Optimizing cloud spend (59%) and managing complex infrastructures (52%) were also cited as major concerns, underscoring the urgent need for a skilled workforce. Kais Zribi, Coursera's General Manager for the Middle East and Africa, said: 'While automation is vital to transforming teams, workflows, and business operations, the UAE data reveal that strategic investments in human capital through upskilling and reskilling will be crucial to driving innovation. As organizations look to fully harness the potential of cloud and AI, investing equally in technology and people will be foundational to building a future-ready workforce. 'This report delivers a clear mandate for technology leaders: investing in skills development must be a cornerstone of every transformation strategy.' The report also highlights that 95% of tech leaders worldwide view cloud transformation as a key business goal. Globally, foundational skills are prioritized, with 63% ranking cloud skills, such as cloud development and engineering, as the most critical, followed by data (58%) and cybersecurity (54%). AI skills rank fourth, with 47% identifying them as important over the next three years. Globally, tech leaders report clear benefits from investing in skills development, including enhanced performance and productivity (72%), greater workforce agility (67%), and improved talent mobility (58%). More than half (52%) of global tech leaders expect 30-50% of tasks to be automated. Nearly all (99%) anticipate their codebases will be partially AI-generated or developed with AI assistance in the next three years, with 86% expecting 20-50% of their codebase to involve AI in its creation. Yet, 88% believe human contributions remain irreplaceable, emphasizing that AI success depends on greater investment in talent development. In fact, 77% of leaders globally recognize that upskilling existing employees will be essential to achieving transformation goals within the next 12 to 18 months. The global study was conducted across the US, the UK, India, the UAE, France, and Mexico between March and April 2025. It captures insights from more than 750 technology leaders responsible for large-scale digital transformation initiatives at organizations with over 1,000 employees and average annual revenues exceeding US$100 million (with UAE-based companies averaging US$21.6 billion).
