Expanding its portfolio of hydraulic actuators for the surface drilling sector, GE Oil & Gas is launching the CHA Hydraulic Actuator Series at the Offshore Northern Seas (ONS) 2012 Conference and Exhibition being held August 28-31 in Stavanger.

Since its acquisition of the John Wood Group PLC Well Support division in 2011, GE has been supplying customers with the RA Series of actuators product line, a reliable, cost-effective solution capable of managing supply pressures up to 3,500 psi. GE’s new CHA Series exceeds the RA Series by accepting supply pressures up to a maximum of 6,000 psi.

“With our new CHA Series, GE now provides a more robust line of actuators,” said Ian Milne, president of the GE Oil & Gas Pressure Control business. “This introduction increases our market competitiveness, as we continue to provide a full array of products with added-value services. We believe the CHA Series offers key features that will appeal to operators who are concerned with increased safety.
