Equalising Valve
Well Isolation
Equalising Valve
The Equalising Valve is an electronically actuated valve that allows plugged wells to be equalised or brought onto production without the need for intervention.
The Equalising Valve has successfully delivered a zero bubble, gas tight seal using the rigorous requirements set down by the ISO standard ISO 14310.
The field-proven onboard electronics do not need to be connected to surface as the valve is functioned with a ‘Command’ remote activation signal. The valve is programmed to recognise a unique Command pressure signature before activating and equalisation.
A laptop computer allows the ‘pressure pattern’ to be easily programmed at the wellsite as needed. The valve can be installed below any lock or plug and can be used as a shallow or deep set barrier.
FEATURES
- Field proven electronics with over 100 installations with a 100% activation success.
- Qualified in accordance with ISO14310 VO testing requirements.
- Large flow ports for maximum flow bypass.
- Compatible with any locks or plugs
- Debris catcher to prevent the tool being damaged from well debris.
APPLICATIONS
- Shallow set barrier for tree testing, maintenance and change outs.
- Deep set barrier for packer setting and tubing testing.
- Rapid resumption of production without the need for Intervention access.
- Isolation and opening of multi-lateral legs.
- Barrier for work overs.
- Reducing slickline runs in retrieving plug assembly
BENEFITS
- Reduces intervention costs.
- Reduces rig costs.
- Reduces safety hazard to intervention crews.
- Controlled equalisation by the need for a specific pressure signal.
- No risk during under balance equalisation.
