Company founder and history
Paul Skoglund started SkoFlo Industries in 1988, and it grew to become a global leader in subsea and surface injection valve technology under his years of leadership. In 2019, he received the University of Washington College of Engineering’s Diamond Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence in recognition of his achievements and his innovation in pressure-independent control valves.
Before the development of the SkoFlo valve, chemical injection for the oil and gas industry was accomplished with one pump for each injection point. On the North Slope of Alaska, engineers at Standard Oil looked for an alternative to this expensive approach. Their efforts led to the development of a valve with a spring-balanced piston design that allows one pump to supply multiple wells. The engineers teamed up with Paul and, after refining the design, named it the SkoFlo valve. Since then, SkoFlo has developed more products, including valves designed to take on the challenges of subsea environments.
