Safoco Controls originated in the fall of 2009, when executives at Safoco spearheaded an effort to develop a safety control system to complement their line of surface safety valves. Recognizing the need for a more simple and reliable way to remotely trigger the Emergency Shut Down (ESD) system at a wellhead, Safoco Controls began to design a solution that became the SAMI (Safety Automated Monitori
ng Instrument). SAMI systems are available both as fully automated and remotely controlled units – communicating via satellite, cellular, or radio connectivity. Most recently, the SAMI system was set up at an offshore oil rig in the North Sea to monitor the effects of a gas leak. With the modern day oil and gas boom brought by the advent of hydraulic fracturing, Safoco quickly realized the need for increased safety within this new industry and frequently heard of over-pressurization concerns from customers, Safoco implemented an initiative to produce the FRV (Fracturing Relief Valve). Over-pressurization can not only cause financial loss, but also prove fatal to personnel. The FRV provides an intelligent and effective solution to protect both equipment and crew. Drawing its roots from the reliable simplicity of Safoco products, Safoco Controls is committed to creating innovative solutions for the oil and gas industry.
