What Cameron does

Cameron is a product family and brand within SLB (formerly Schlumberger), supplying pressure control and flow management technologies to the worldwide oil and gas industry. Founded in 1920 and headquartered in Houston, Cameron built its reputation by inventing the world's first blowout preventer in 1922 and pioneering industry-standard products including the T30 ball valve (1960), the first 10,000-psi production tree (1945), and surface wellhead systems rated to 30,000 psi and 450°F per API Spec 6A Appendix F. Its portfolio spans wellhead systems, drilling BOPs, valves, choke valves, production trees, safety systems, subsea production systems, processing and separation equipment, and measurement systems — covering the well lifecycle from drilling through production and midstream.

Core offering

Cameron manufactures and supplies pressure control and flow management equipment for the global oil and gas industry. Its portfolio includes surface wellhead systems, drilling blowout preventers (BOPs), valves (including the T30 ball valve), chokes, production trees, subsea production systems, safety systems, processing/separation equipment, and measurement systems used across drilling, production, and processing operations onshore and offshore.

Product overview

Cameron, integrated into SLB in 2016, offers a comprehensive portfolio of pressure control and flow technologies for the oil and gas industry. The product family spans surface, drilling, and production systems including wellhead systems (rated up to 30,000 psi and 450 degF), drilling blowout preventer (BOP) systems (including the industry-standard U and TL ram-type BOPs), valves (the T30 Series ball valve is the world’s most popular for pipeline applications), pressure control equipment, subsea systems for deepwater operations, production trees, safety systems, processing and separation equipment, and measurement systems. Founded in 1920, Cameron pioneered the world's first blowout preventer in 1922 and the first 10,000-psi production tree in 1945. The products work together as an integrated pressure control and flow management solution across the entire well lifecycle from drilling through production.
