Manifolds & Piping
Because your operations require non-stop performance, Forum designs and manufactures premier high-pressure drilling equipment such as manifolds, mud-gas separators and choke control panels. We maintain full stocks around the world that are ready for quick delivery, and we also specialize in turnkey packages — from concept and surveys to installation and commissioning. Standard or custom, all of our solutions are fully supported by our global aftercare services team at strategic regional establishments.
All of our manifolds are designed, fabricated and tested to both satisfy unique customer needs and to meet or exceed rigorous, internationally recognized standards. When you select a Forum product, you are receiving a pressure control system that meets the highest safety and quality standards in the oil and gas industry.
Choke and Kill Manifolds
Deployed to help control downhole pressure fluctuations, choke and kill manifolds are especially important in cases of well kicks or blowouts. Rugged valve systems within these units ensure superior pressure control.
Mud Standpipe Manifolds
Keeping drilling fluids and muds flowing smoothly toward drillstrings is an essential function of Forum’s mud standpipe manifolds. Each component is manufactured and tested for reliable performance in unforgiving downhole environments.
Cement Manifolds
Designed for heavy slurry, Forum’s cement manifolds are currently in use on rigs and drillships around the world. Performing at pressures up to 15,000 pounds per square inch, we can design and install systems customized to your project needs.
Mud-Gas Separators
Simple in design but powerful in performance, Forum’s mud-gas separators remove large pockets of gas from drilling mud systems. With a broad range of sizes and capacities to fit your production needs, our equipment is backed worldwide by our experienced technical team.
Choke Control Panels
Built to thrive in high-pressure, high-temperature conditions, our choke control panels save time and reduce the safety issues associated with manual operation. Available with custom designs and builds that include local/remote and analog/digital displays.
Choke and Kill Manifolds
Forum’s choke and kill manifolds are manufactured to help control downhole pressure fluctuations, especially in cases of well kicks or blowouts. Designed to perform at levels up to 15,000 pounds per square inch (psi), the rugged valve systems within the manifolds help ensure superior pressure control. We can engineer and install complete choke and kill manifold packages tailored to your specific project requirements. All of our products meet the highest specifications in the oilfield industry, including American Petroleum Institute (API) and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).

Mud-Gas Separators
As the first units of solids control systems, mud-gas separators allow you to retain critical pressure control within your wells. Simple in design but powerful in performance, these units capitalize on the density difference between gasses and solids to separate large pockets of gas from drilling mud systems. In the event of a gas kick, mud-separators provide especially critical venting that sends gas over baffle plates before ejecting it out of the line as a flare.
Because mud system needs are so diverse, Forum offers some of the oil and gas industry’s most flexible mud-gas separator solutions. With a broad range of sizes and capacities to fit your production needs, our equipment is backed worldwide by Forum’s experienced technical team. All of our products are manufactured to meet the highest specifications in the oilfield industry, including the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and the British Standards Institution (PD series).
Features
