Cameron (SLB)

Cameron, now part of SLB (formerly Schlumberger), is a heavyweight in valves for the oil and gas industry, with a heritage of over 150 years across its constituent brands. The portfolio covers slab gate, expanding gate, ball, plug, check and globe valves for pipeline, refining, LNG and subsea production systems, plus wellhead and flow control equipment. Cameron's Orbit ball valves, Groves gate valves, Demco gate valves, W-K-M plug valves and TBV ball valves are standards in their respective niches. The company engineers to API 6D, API 6A and API 17D, and is particularly strong in large-diameter pipeline ball valves, emergency shutdown valves and demanding subsea service with deepwater qualification. Cameron operates major manufacturing and service centers in the United States, Italy, Malaysia and the United Kingdom. For pipeline operators, the brand's installed base and spare parts support network are often the decisive arguments in valve specification.
