HPT™ Seals for Bayu Undan Project

Trelleborg's technology provides a SAFE platform for offshore venture

Trelleborg successfully supplied high performance technology (HPT™) pipe penetration seals, worth US$2m, to the Bayu Undan gas-recycling project.  The Bayu Undan field, discovered in 1995, is located in the central Timor Sea about 500km north-west of Darwin, Australia, and some 250km south of Suai in East Timor.
