Introduction
Halliburton safety systems can be used as total systems or as subsystems in an overall safety installation. Halliburton offers a full line of surface-controlled tubing-retrievable subsurface safety valves as well as wireline-retrievable subsurface safety valves, including both surface-controlled and direct-controlled designs. Halliburtons expertise in subsurface design extends to the entire safety system. This knowledge is applied to develop and integrate surfacecontrolled subsurface safety valves, surface safety valves, and production automation equipment. Halliburtons auxiliary equipment adds flexibility to your safety system designs, surface hydraulic control panels, pilots, relay valves, fusible plugs, and emergency shutdown valves. Auxiliary equipment also provides the necessary equipment for fully automated systems. In addition, Halliburton provides system design, installation, and maintenance for the life of your system. Under API license, Halliburton can apply the API monogram to 14A subsurface safety equipment and 6A surface safety valves. Additional Features The customer should consider features that go beyond the basic valve function. Although extra features can offer advantages in certain applications, increased design complexities can also mean more room for operator error or potential leak paths. Review all functions to ensure that reliability is maintained as the priorityand not sacrificed in pursuit of secondary objectives. Reliability When designing subsurface safety valves, Halliburton considers several factors, including: Sealing elements Debris isolation Material selection Loading considerations Halliburton gives careful consideration to design relationships when designing a new SSSV. Some important reliability design features which are common to Halliburton subsurface safety valves include: Metal-to-metal flapper sealing (passing API Specification 14A Class 1 and 2 testing without resilient seal) Flow tube isolation at both ends while utilizing maximized spring force and piston area for enhanced debris tolerance Verification and testing is another area in which reliability is critical. SINTEF, in its Phase III report Reliability of SurfaceControlled Subsurface Safety Valves, suggests extensive verification testing as another important way to ensure reliability and performance.* They discuss important elements that should be included in prototype testing.

Selecting a Subsurface Safety Valve

The following criteria are offered as guidelines in determining the selection of a subsurface safety valve (SSSV). Reliability of Closure The ability to close in a catastrophic situation is the most important function of a subsurface safety valve. This function protects and preserves human life, the environment, and capital investments. Economical Cost Keeping costs down is attractive to both the manufacturer and the operating company. Design simplicity promotes lower cost and when properly applied, also enhances reliability and long-life performance. Versatility/Deliverability Halliburton provides a full product line along with shortterm delivery. This translates into reduced inventory costs and fewer problems in scheduling projects for the operating company.

In addition to normal API verification, Halliburton has standardized an extended performance-based prototype test program that follows SINTEFs suggested approach. Each phase of the test is specially designed to verify the overall valve durability. For example, the extended verification testing of sand slurry environments consists of a minimum of 120 slam closures against sand slurry as opposed to the seven closures of an API 14A Class 2 test. Understanding the importance of subsurface safety valve reliability, both to safety and maintaining well production,

brings an increased emphasis to lifecycle cost for wells as opposed to minimized purchase cost. The final testimony to reliability is performance. The Halliburton SP non-elastomer safety valve provides superior reliability because it is specifically designed for extended life applications in which ultimate reliability is required. This valve has an unsurpassed track record with no hydraulic failures reported anywhere in the world since its introduction in 1990.

Special Features
This section briefly describes some of the special features of Halliburtons safety valves including the contoured flapper and equalizing feature.

Contoured Flapper
Halliburton took advantage of its broad experience with ball valves to design a reliable contoured flapper valve by adapting the spherical sealing surface used in ball valves to the flapper shape. The contoured flapper safety valve achieves true metal-to-metal flapper sealing integrity while providing improved valve OD/ID ratios. This unique design offers a distinct advantage over other typical curved flappers because it passes API Class 1 and 2 verification testing without relying on a resilient seal. The contoured flapper incorporates the proven advantages of the spherical metal-to-metal seal of a ball-type closure while maintaining the simple operation of a flapper valve. The mating spherical seal surfaces, lapped before assembly, provide increased bearing area as well as improved flapper centralization during valve closure. The increased width of the spherical seal also allows contouring of the upper and lower flapper surfaces, resulting in smaller ODs and/or enlarged IDs. The flappers dual hinges and standard torsion spring provide stability and high initial closure forces to enhance valve sealing reliability. This unique technology was awarded the prestigious Special Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation.

Self-Equalizing Feature
The Halliburton sideport self-equalizing feature uses a spring-loaded carbide ball lapped to a mating spherical seal located in the flapper seat of the safety valve. Location of the equalizing device in the flapper seat allows the flow tube, when activated, to radially displace the ball outward, opening an equalizing path around the flapper mechanism. A closely controlled channel between the flapper seat and the spring housing provides for a large equalizing area and prevents debris migration into the metal-to-metal sealing area. After equalization, the flow tube moves down to open the flapper and allows the flow tube to downstop against its metal seat, thereby isolating the equalizing mechanism from flow. Erosion is a prime consideration with equalizing devices. The sideport equalizing design addresses erosion by forcing the equalizing flow through a closely controlled flow path. This flow path allows the pressure drop to be taken through the close concentric fit of the flapper seat and mating housing instead of across the equalizing valve seat itself. This close concentric fit and controlled flow path provide an enlarged flow area and enhanced equalizing times while simultaneously filtering the equalizing flow, which prevents erosion and helps ensure a long operating life. The sideport equalizing device has also been tested extensively in sandy environments. In addition to successfully completing API Specification 14A verification testing for Class 2 (sand service), the sideport underwent endurance testing. This testing involved putting the equalizing device in the equalizing position and flowing a sand-laden fluid through the device for seven days. Leak tests performed afterward revealed no detrimental effects from erosion, and the sealing capability of the equalizing device was not affected. The equalizing device has also been tested successfully in extensive sand closure tests commonly used for North Sea applications. The safety valve is subjected to 120 slam closures in a sand-laden fluid, a 20-fold increase over the normal API Specification 14A test. Other tests performed include repeated equalizing operations and nitrogen leak verification tests in a sandy environment. Additionally, the equalizing feature was subjected to gas slam closures followed by 50 equalizations equivalent in volume to 1,500 ft of 7-in. tubing filled with gas at well conditions (approximately 5,000 psi BHP). Unlike in a well scenario, the gas was vented to the atmosphere during the test which means the full pressure differential was present for the duration of each equalization (open system), applying maximum gas velocity for the entire cycle.

SP Tubing-Retrievable Safety Valves

The Halliburton SP tubing-retrievable safety valve is a single rod-piston non-elastomer flapper valve designed for hostile environments and extended life applications where ultimate reliability is required. Potential leak paths within the valve are minimized with the single rod-piston design. The piston achieves a metal-to-metal seal at its uppermost and lowermost positions to seal well pressure from the control system. The SP valves incorporate flappers using spherical radius sealing surfaces that help greatly improve seal reliability. The spherical radius design provides full metal-to-metal sealing integrity. For applications where either the OD or ID is restrained, the SP valves incorporate the award-winning Halliburton contoured flapper. OD/ID relationships are improved by the contoured flapper design that helps provide superior metalto-metal sealing when compared to other forms of curved flapper technology. Applications For applications requiring ultimate reliability and longevity such as high-temperature, high-pressure completions, subsea completions, or hostile well environments Features Non-elastomer dynamic piston seals Metal-to-metal static seal at upper and lower piston positions Metal-to-metal body joints Flow tube fluted guide 100% metal-to-metal flapper Concentric thrust bearing Wiper ring on upper flow tube Clean-out ports in flow tubes upper end Internal exercise profile

DepthStar Tubing-Retrievable Safety Valve

The DepthStar tubing-retrievable safety valve (TRSV) is a revolutionary new concept in the realm of surfacecontrolled subsurface safety valves. Unlike any TRSV before it, the DepthStar valve functions completely independent of well pressure; therefore, it is able to operate at consistently low hydraulic pressures, making it an ideal solution for deepwater completions. Previously, solutions to wellbore isolation of the piston required additional seals and/or gas-charged chambers whose reliability is heavily dependent on elastomeric seals and the permanent, long-term containment of a dome charge. The DepthStar valve, through the use of a revolutionary magnetic coupler, allows for positioning the hydraulic actuator completely out of the tubing wellbore. It has long been the desire of the oil and gas industry with regards to tubing-retrievable safety valves to increase metal-to-metal sealing capability and correspondingly reduce the overall number of seals. By repositioning the hydraulic actuator outside the tubing wellbore, the DepthStar valve becomes the worlds first safety valve that is 100% metalto-metal and contains no moving seals within the tubing wellbore. This reduction in seals combined with an intrinsically simple design makes the DepthStar TRSV inherently reliable. The DepthStar TRSV is the ultimate solution for applications where reliability is foremost. This enhanced reliability combined with a low operating pressure makes it an ideal solution for deep-set applications. Features No moving seals exposed to the tubing wellbore 100% metal-to-metal sealing within the tubing wellbore 4,000 to 5,000 psi maximum valve opening capability regardless of setting depth or pressure Minimized number of body connections Proven metal-to-metal, nonelastomer hydraulic actuator Isolated flow tube Benefits No possibility of tubing to control line leakage Low hydraulic operating pressure/ reduced CAPEX Unconstrained valve setting depth Helps increase optimum reliability and durability Helps provide superior well containment and safety Helps increase valve life

Through use of a unique magnetic coupler, the actuation piston and hydraulic operating system connected to the DepthStar tubing-retrievable safety valve is isolated from the tubing wellbore. As shown here, the outer and inner magnetic sleeves are separated by a well pressure containing housing, creating a chamber for the actuating piston that is absolutely isolated from the wellbore. Use of the magnetic coupler makes it possible to remove all moving seals that are normally found in a subsurface safety valve completely from the wellbore environment. A primary benefit of this technology is the DepthStar TRSV gives the flexibility to place the subsurface safety valve at a depth based on the requirements and goals of the completion and not based on the limitations of the safety valve.

Applications General production completions Features Equalizing-type flapper closure Solid construction flapper made from bar stock Spherical radius seat on flapper improves seal reliability Sealing and seating surfaces are out of the flow path of well production when valve is in the open position Benefits Minimal hinge pin stress during opening and closing cycles Allowable working pressures up to 15,000 psi (1035 bar) Allowable setting depths up to 3,000 ft (914 m) Pump-through capability built into the valve design Compatible with Otis X, R, RQ, RPV, and SAFETYSET lock mandrels and with Halliburton tubing-retrievable safety valves in depth ratings and material selections
Open Closed

FXE Flapper-Type Valves

The Halliburton FXE wireline-retrievable flapper valve, which is normally closed, is held open by hydraulic control pressure from the surface. The valve operates on a hydraulic piston principle. To open, hydraulic pressure slightly higher than the well pressure is applied to move the piston downward. This pressure unseats the secondary seat, allowing pressure to enter through equalizing ports. Then, as additional hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston, it continues downward movement, pushing the flapper open. The flapper hinge assembly is designed so the force on the piston is not applied directly on the hinge pin. Upon loss of hydraulic pressure in the control line, the valves large spring serves to lift the hydrostatic head of the control fluid. The flapper spring is designed to close the valve when the piston moves up past the flapper. Opening Prong Nose Seal The FXE valve uses the valve housing as the down-stop for the opening prong. This metal-to-metal interface is designed to prevent flow from passing between the valve housing and the opening prong. The metal-to-metal interface isolates the flapper and seat from fluid flow while the valve is open. This design creates a metal-to-metal interface with the full force exerted by the hydraulic piston, minus the spring compression force, holding the two metal faces in contact. Radius of Curvature at Flow Entrance Halliburton conducted a study with various curvatures on the entrance to the valve. The study tested abrasive fluids flowing through different test subs and examined the resulting wear patterns. As a result, an optimum radius of curvature was determined and implemented on the valve housings of all wireline-retrievable safety valves.

FRN Flapper-Type Wireline-Retrievable Safety Valves

The Halliburton FRN wirelineretrievable flapper valve, which is normally closed, is held open by hydraulic control pressure from the surface. The valve operates on a hydraulic-piston principle. To open, tubing pressure slightly higher than the well pressure below the closed flapper is applied. Once well pressure is equalized across the closed flapper, hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston, which pushes the flapper open. The flapper hinge assembly is designed so the force on the piston is not applied directly on the hinge pin. Upon loss of hydraulic pressure in the control line, the valve's large spring serves to lift the hydrostatic head of the control fluid. The flapper spring is designed to close the valve when the piston moves up past the flapper. Opening Prong Nose Seal The FRN valve uses the valve housing as the down-stop for the opening prong. This metal-to-metal interface is designed to prevent flow from passing between the valve housing and the opening prong. The metal-to-metal interface isolates the flapper and seat from fluid flow while the valve is open. This design creates a metal-to-metal interface with the full force exerted by the hydraulic piston, minus the spring compression force, holding the two metal faces in contact. Radius of Curvature at Flow Entrance Halliburton conducted a study with various curvatures on the entrance to the valve. The study tested abrasive fluids flowing through different test subs and examined the resulting wear patterns. As a result, an optimum radius of curvature was determined and implemented on the valve housings of all wireline-retrievable safety valves. Applications New completions Deep-set High pressure Features High-strength rod-piston actuation Non-equalizing flapper closure Solid construction flapper made from bar stock Spherical radius seat on flapper improves seal reliability Sealing and seating surfaces are out of flow path of well production when valve is in open position Designed for easy field servicing Benefits Minimal hinge-pin stress during opening and closing cycles Working pressures up to 10,000 psi (690 bar) Allowable setting depths up to 9,000 ft (2743 m) Pump-through capability built into the valve design Compatible with Otis X, R, RQ, RPV, and SAFETYSET lock mandrels and with Halliburton tubing-retrievable safety valves in depth ratings and material selections Helps reduce downtime and operating costs as a result of ease of on-location servicing of external packing

BigBore Wireline-Retrievable Safety Valves

Halliburton has applied the same stringent testing used on its maximum reliability tubing-retrievable safety valves to its BigBore wirelineretrievable safety valve. This valve offers the durability and reliability of Halliburtons TRSVs through the metal-to-metal sealing of the contoured flapper, enhanced body connections, and debris isolation. The contoured flapper provides a large ID compared to other valve designs while providing enhanced flapper sealing. Another significant feature of this valve is its ease of on-location servicing. The construction of the upper end of the valve provides for easy access to the valves external packing. Once the lock is removed, the packing retainer sleeve can be removed and serviced. The savings made possible by an enlarged ID, enhanced performance, and ease of service have made it an excellent choice for replacing equipment currently installed in existing completions. Applications New completions Replacement of existing wirelineretrievable safety valves to provide increased ID and reliability Features Metal-to-metal sealing contoured flapper closure with large ID High-strength rod-piston actuation Dual-sealing minimized body connections Enhanced debris isolation through metal-to-metal interface of flow tube/bottom sub Radius of curvature at flow entrance Equalizing feature available Designed for easy field servicing Benefits Metal-to-metal sealing for increased reliability Helps increase durability and reliability from piston arrangement and minimized body connections Increased reliability through debris isolation Optimized flow entrance to decrease wear Equalizing feature isolated from well solids to enhance durability Helps reduce downtime and operating costs as a result of ease of on-location servicing of external packing

Capillary Deliquification Safety System

In mature fields, liquid loading of gas wells is a common problem. In the short term, this can lead to decreased production, and if not managed correctly, can ultimately reduce overall reservoir recovery. One option for managing the problem is the use of surfactants as foaming agents to artificially unload the well. The preferred method would allow automatic and continuous delivery of these surfactants. Halliburtons capillary deliquification safety system facilitates delivery of surfactants or other chemicals and liquids to a specified point within the completion while maintaining the purpose and functionality of a downhole safety device. The deliquification safety system can be installed in an existing completion with the appropriate safety valve landing nipple profileeither a dedicated safety valve landing nipple or within a tubing-retrievable safety valve where the control system communication is activated to operate an installed wireline-retrievable safety valve (WLRSV). The systems injection feature operates via the wirelineretrievable safety valve control system. When control-line pressure reaches a predetermined pressure, a regulator installed below the WLRSV opens, allowing chemical injection to take place. Use of the existing control line provides a cost-effective method of installing a semipermanent injection system without the need to modify the wellhead. The WLRSV is designed to shut in the well at a point below the surface and is opened with hydraulic control pressure. In this application, the applied chemical injection pressure maintains the safety valve in the open position during injection and the valve closes when injection is stopped. Applications Chemical injection for gas well deliquification or scale treatment purposes Available for landing nipples / tubing-retrievable safety valves with 2.75-in. and larger sealbores Features Field-proven wireline-retrievable safety valve Equalizing or non-equalizing type flapper closure Benefits Unique design allows system installation with no requirement for wellhead modification Installed using standard intervention techniques

This section describes some of Halliburtons safety valve landing nipples, hydraulic control lines, protectors, and accessories. The shifter mandrel opens the inner sleeve when the valve is run and closes the sleeve when the valve is retrieved. Applications Designed to be made up and become part of the tubing to accept surfacecontrolled, wireline-retrievable safety valves Features Large ID is compatible with tubing size and weight Solid, non-welded control-line connection and protection portion of nipples Control port machined into nipple wall Benefits Wireline operator controls locating, landing, and locking safety valve in a preselected location Locking principle is designed to hold against pressure from either direction and sudden and/or repeated reversals of pressure Rugged, non-welded design
HAL10499 HAL10756

Safety Valve Landing Nipples

Halliburton safety valve landing nipples are designed to accept surfacecontrolled, wireline-retrievable safety valves. An internal profile has been machined in these nipples to allow a lock mandrel/safety valve to be landed and locked in place. Nipples are available with connections for one or two external control lines and for standard or heavyweight tubing with corresponding honed-bore sizes. These non-welded nipples feature a slightly oval shape, which allows the control port to be machined into the wall of the nipple. This design contrasts with models that have a concentric nipple with a ported lug welded to the side. Elimination of welding helps prevent failure that can be caused by uneven material properties in the heat-affected zone of a weld. An additional advantage of the non-welded design is the solid construction of the control-line connection and protection portions of the nipple. These raised areas of the nipple protect the control-line connection going into the hole and pulling out. The non-welded nipples can absorb shock without damage while welded nipples often cannot. Halliburtons Otis XXO and RRO sliding sleeve nipples incorporate an inner sleeve that can be closed during testing and well cleanup and subsequently opened to allow control of the safety valve. The sleeve can be opened by a wireline trip before the safety valve is run, or a shifter mandrel can be run with the safety valve.

Hydraulic Control Lines

Halliburton provides the accessory equipment to complete any surfacecontrolled subsurface safety valve (SCSSV) installation. Halliburton control lines are available in a variety of sizes and materials for SCSSVs. Control lines are assembled on reels filled with fluid and pressuretested. Reel spools are designed so pressure can be applied at any time during running to check the integrity of the control line. Halliburton offers hydraulic control lines made from two different manufacturing processes that conform to ASTM specifications: (1) seamless, and (2) welded and sunk. Seamless Tubing is fabricated from a solid rod. The process involves forcing a mandrel or punch through the solid rod to form a tube. The continuous lengths available from this process are limited. Welded and Sunk Tubing is fabricated from flat stock. The process involves rolling the stock into a cylinder and welding the seam. Once in tube form, it is drawn through a die to achieve the proper OD. This process is considerably less costly than the seamless method and yields lines available in continuous lengths with no butt-welded connections. Optional single and dual lines with protective encapsulation are available. The material is suitable for use in most annular fluids. Encapsulation protects lines from damage during installation and simplifies the running process. The dual-encapsulated line is used with balanced SCSSVs or injection wells in which multiple lines are required. As an option, a protective cable between two control lines is available. Singleencapsulated lines have no cable; however, a protective cable on either side of the control line can be ordered. Installation Control lines are attached to subsurface controls with appropriate tube fitting and pressure-tested before running into the wellbore. Line spools are hung in the derrick, and control line is paid out as tubing is run. Applications For surface-controlled subsurface safety valves Features Different lengths of control line in continuous coil Wide variety of materials offered: stainless, Monel, and alloy 825 Control lines are offered in various encapsulated options All control lines conform to ASTM specifications Lines are available in other sizes on request Benefits Wide assortment for almost every need

Control-Line Protectors
Halliburton offers two types of control-line protectors, both designed to provide maximum control-line protection. The first type of protector is a unique design that combines a steel outer shell and a resilient inner liner. The second type is all metal, which provides full over-thecoupling protection for virtually any size ESP cable, bare tube, or encapsulated bundle configuration. The all-metal protector is also available for mid-joint applications. A variety of channels that can accommodate a combination of bare control lines and/or dual encapsulated control line is offered for each of the protectors. Both types of protectors use a tapered pin lock to provide maximum gripping force. The tapered pin lock can be installed by hand and driven to the locked position by a pneumatic hammer or a manual hammer tool.

Storm Choke Safety Valves

Storm Choke safety valves are subsurface-controlled valves that are actuated by changing well conditions. They are available in velocity-type and tubing pressure-type (ambient) models.

Velocity-Type Safety Valves

Storm Choke J Safety Valves Halliburton Storm Choke J safety valves are velocity-type, wireline-retrievable valves that are normally opened, directcontrolled valves. These valves operate on a spring-loaded, flow bean, pressure-differential principle and are designed for high-volume wells. A through-conduit design lessens turbulence and the possibility of sanding-up after closing. A detent mechanism provides a positive snap action closure at the predetermined disaster rate of the valve. A metal-tometal ball and seat assembly is used for the primary closure mechanism seal. When the valve is operating, a spring holds it off its seat until the well flow reaches a predetermined rate. When the pressure differential across the bean exceeds the spring force, as a result of a rupture in a flowline or the surface equipment, the valve is designed to close and shut the well. To reopen, the valve pressure must be fully equalized either by applying pressure in the tubing from the surface or by running a prong to allow equalization from below. When pressure is equalized, the spring will open the valve automatically. Applications High-rate wells Ideal for deep-set applications Wells with no provisions for surface-controlled valves Features Detent mechanism Metal-to-metal ball and seat assembly Through-conduit design

Tubing-Pressure (Ambient) Safety Valves

Halliburtons Storm Choke H and K safety valves are described below. Storm Choke H Safety Valves Halliburton Storm Choke H safety valves are ambient-type, wireline-retrievable valves that are normally closed and precharged with a set dome pressure. When the wells flowing pressure drops below the predetermined dome-pressure charge as a result of a rupture in the flowline or surface equipment, the dome pressure and valve spring are designed to close the valve, shutting in the well. The H valve is used in wells producing large volumes of abrasive fluids. Its large bore is not restricted by a flow bean. The valve is designed to resist pressure surges. A metal-tometal ball and seat is used as the primary closure mechanism. The H valve is ideal for protecting wells with declining bottomhole pressure as this valve is tubing-pressure sensitive instead of velocity sensitive. To reopen, the valve pressure must be fully equalized either by applying pressure in the tubing from the surface or by running a prong to allow equalization from below. The valve will reopen when the tubing pressure, acting on the internal piston area, overcomes the dome charge. Applications Wells producing large volumes of abrasive fluids Wells with declining bottomhole pressure Wells with no provisions for surface-controlled valves Features Large bore is not restricted by a flow bean Metal-to-metal ball and seat

Storm Choke K Safety Valves Halliburton Storm Choke K safety valves are ambient-type, wireline-retrievable valves with the largest flow area of all direct-controlled safety valves on the market. They are ideally suited for high-volume, low-pressure wells. These valves are normally closed and precharged with a set dome pressure. When the wells flowing pressure drops below the predetermined dome-pressure charge due to a rupture in flowline or surface equipment, the dome pressure and main valve spring close the valve, shutting in the well below the earths surface. This valve contains a detent mechanism to provide a positive snap-action closure at the predetermined disaster rate of the valve. Its bore is not restricted by a flow bean. The valve is designed to resist pressure surges. A metalto-metal poppet valve and seat comprise the valves primary closure mechanism. The K valve is ideal for protecting wells with declining bottomhole pressure. This valve closes in situations where a pressure decline would not activate a valve with a flow bean. To reopen the valve, the operator must fully equalize pressure either by applying pressure in the tubing from the surface or by an equalizing prong. The valve will reopen when the tubing pressure acting on the internal piston area overcomes the dome charge. Applications Wells with declining bottomhole pressure High-volume, low-pressure wells Wells with no provisions for surface-controlled valves Features Poppet closure Large ports with capacity for high-volume wells Designed to resist pressure surges Benefits Installed and retrieved under pressure by wireline methods Adaptable to any Halliburton lock mandrel Can be located in any Halliburton landing nipple

Injection Safety Valves

WI Retrievable Injection Valve
The WI retrievable injection valve is a high-performance, high flow-rate injection valve. High throughput is achieved by a unique valve configuration that minimizes turbulent and potentially erosive flow. Operation is not dependent on a specific flow rate, pressure or setting depth, negating the need for adjustment over time. The valve incorporates a metal-to-metal valve and seat that is energized by the combination of an integral spring and well pressure acting from below. The WI injection valve can be deployed on a wireline lock or through-tubing pack-off device providing flexibility that is not available with alternative injection valve systems. As a result of the simple design with fewer parts, redress and repair costs are considerably lower than those for other injection valve systems. Applications The WI injection valve is primarily used in water injection applications as an alternative to conventional tubing or wireline-set safety valves. The valve is also commonly used as a retrofit solution in water injectors where a tubing to annulus leak has occurred. The valve can be deployed below the leak point to eliminate uncontrolled annulus pressure increases when the injection stops. Features Compatible with all known lock systems Enhanced internal flow profile Simple design and construction Flow-loop testing performed to establish pressure drop versus pump rate

Benefits The WI injection valve is a stand-alone device which can be configured to run with any retrievable packer or any wireline lock system. Minimizes the possibility of turbulent flow damage to the tubing or casing. Injected fluid exits through a tapered end cap to further reduce turbulence on entering the tubing.

Operation is not dependent on injection pressure or flow rate, and there is no requirement for adjustment to the WI injection valve for setting depth. Low maintenance costs resulting from a simple design.

MC Injection Valves
Halliburton MC (flapper-type) injection valves are used in injection wells to automatically shut in the tubing string when injection stops or flow reverses. MC injection valves are spring-loaded, wireline-retrievable valves with large bores. The MC injection valves also feature sealing areas that are out of the direct flow path. These valves are designed to be held open by injection pressure for fluid passage. If injection flow becomes static or reverses for any reason, the spring and/or reverse flow causes the valves to close. These valves are designed to remain closed until pressure differential across the valves is equalized and injection is resumed. Applications Injection wells Features MC valves have sealing areas that are out of the direct flow path. Benefits Valves designed to automatically shut in tubing string if injection is stopped or if flow reverses Installed and retrieved by wireline under pressure Designed to be set on various Halliburton lock mandrels

Annular Safety Systems

Annular vent sleeve valves and one-trip annular safety systems are described in this section.

AV Annulus Safety Valve

The AV annulus safety valve is a fully retrievable highperformance annulus safety system packer with integral annulus safety valve. The system provides annular bypass through a hydraulically operated valve array. The AV system is run in a single trip in conjunction with a setting sub. Applications The AV system is used for the control of annulus fluids in gas lift applications, for the monitoring of annulus pressures in critical situations, and in one or two-trip annulus safety system completions. The completion can be run to depth and set with the surface tubing hanger flanged up. It can also be used in completions where spacing out against a subsurface tubing hanger is required, i.e., no elastomeric expansion joint needed. The tailpipe can be left in either tension or compression. It can be used where high tensile loads and pressure differentials exist with the completion anchored in unsupported or poor condition casing. Features Interlock system prevents pre-set Tubing test facility while running Hydraulically set in one trip on tubing with no mandrel movement Annulus-mounted release mechanism Internal/external components rotationally locked together Element anti-extrusion system One-trip system allows multiple control-line bypass Premium thread connectionsno elastomeric seals tubing to annulus Secondary release method available with simple tubing cut

Benefits Tubing test facility also allows setting and testing of hydraulic production packer prior to annulus safety valve setting. The AV valve provides ability to act as redundant wellhead. Multiple control-line bypass allows for safety valve control, chemical injection, and the addition of DHG below the valve. Multi-cone slip provides large casing contact which minimizes slip to casing stress levels.

Single elastomeric seal between lower and upper annulus minimizes potential leak paths. All other elastomeric seals are redundant after setting procedure. Annulus release mechanism removes potential leak path tubing to annulus and cannot be accidentally released during wireline runs. Annulus safety valve is run and retrieved with production tubing.

Surface-Controlled Annular Vent and Injection Sleeve Valves

An annular vent sleeve valve communicates between the casing annulus and producing formation. The valve is a hydraulically operated sliding sleeve device like a surface-controlled subsurface safety valve with a hydraulic piston and a power spring to maintain the valve in a normally closed position. The valve is used with a bull plug on top or as an annular safety valve by providing annular bypass while control pressure is applied. With an electrical feed-through device, this valve functions through a single packer mandrel as an electric power cable passage and annular bypass. On a dual hydraulic packer, the valve operates by a common hydraulic control line that sets the packer and operates the tubing-retrievable safety valve. Hydraulic pressure from the control line shifts the valve open to create a flow path across the packer in the annulus. Spring force closes the valve upon loss of control-line pressure to the piston. If the valve becomes inoperable or closed, an emergency shear feature allows fluid to be pumped into the producing formation from the annulus. Application Can be used in gas lift and electric submersible pump situations Features Accurate fluid-level shot during pumping because of large ported area through the vent sleeve. Maximum gas vent flow area allows increased gas flow rates and lower circulating pressures. Valve will shut off flow from either directionproduction or injection. Benefits Vent gas and electric pump cable use the same packer bore In emergency situations, the valve can be pumped through without control-line pressure for circulation or kill operations Can be operated with common control line used to operate subsurface safety valves

Annular Vent Valve The Halliburton gas vent valve is designed to be threaded onto a retrievable, hydraulic-set production packer. The vent valve is non-equalizing, hydraulically operated, and allows for gas bypass around the packer. The valve is opened by applying hydraulic control pressure, and closes when the pressure is released. This particular vent valve allows pressure testing of the packer without affecting the functionality of the valve. Also, pressure from below the valve is not able to open the valve. The gas vent valve is opened by hydraulic control-line pressure. The power spring acts against the piston to move the valve to the closed position when control-line pressure is released. The valve is designed with a metal-to-metal seal to contain pressure.
