Precision Flow Control: Engineering Excellence with NewStar’s Choke Valve

When it comes to high-pressure oil and gas operations, flow control is everything. Managing extreme pressures, severe erosive service, and high sand production requires more than just standard valves—it demands specialized engineering built to withstand the world’s most demanding field environments.



As a trusted partner delivering cutting-edge solutions for the energy sector, we proudly work with industry-leading manufacturers who set the benchmark for quality and reliability. A prime example of this engineering excellence is New Star Flow Control. Precision-engineered and manufactured in Edmonton, Alberta, New Star’s extensive lineup of specialized choke valves offers unbeatable performance, safety, and longevity for upstream and midstream applications.


Engineered for Severe Service and Extreme Demands

New Star’s product portfolio is meticulously designed to handle the toughest challenges on the rig and production facility floor. Whether you are dealing with high-pressure drops, cavitation, or abrasive sand-laden flows, there is a precision-crafted solution tailored for the job:

  • Angle Body Chokes (A, AD, AD3UF, & AR Series): From plug & cage trims for medium pressure drops to external sleeve trims engineered for severe erosive service and cavitation control, these valves deliver superior flow regulation. The multistage labyrinth trim (AR Series) further provides a low-noise, anti-discrimination design ideal for large choked flow applications.

  • Inline & Disc-Style Trim Solutions (EA, EC, IC, & ICS Series): Featuring innovative multiple orifice disc (MOV) technology—including tungsten carbide pie-shaped discs—these configurations allow for in-line trim changes without removing the valve from the pipeline, translating to major cost savings and reduced downtime. The ICS Series is specifically designed for high-sand service with a direct 90° travel mechanism.

  • Advanced Actuation: Paired with reliable hydraulic and pneumatic rotary stepping actuators, New Star valves provide seamless automated control when precision and safety matter most.

Elevating Your Operations with Proven Reliability

Integrating world-class valve technology into your projects ensures that your production facilities, flowlines, and wellhead systems operate at peak efficiency. Key advantages include:

  • Extended Asset Lifespan: Rugged materials and advanced anti-cavitation/anti-erosion trims mitigate wear and tear in harsh downhole and surface environments.

  • Minimized Downtime: Innovative maintenance features like in-line trim change capabilities keep your maintenance windows short and cost-effective.

  • Uncompromising Safety: Precision torque control and reliable actuation safeguard both operating personnel and capital equipment.
