Operating Manual
The versatile, Camco* WRDP-2 series safety valves feature a straight-through bore and an internal equalization feature that can be disabled, if desired, by plugging the equalization ports prior to installation. Compatible with API standard weight production tubing; WRDP-2 valves deliver superb performance in sweet to moderately corrosive environments. All of the WRDP-2 valves feature the innovative and field-proven, Camco flapper closure system. This time-tested flapper mechanism features a large, single hinge designed for strength, and a hinge pin made from a high strength alloy. Rather than a concentric piston system, WRDP-2 valves use a patented, rod piston actuation system. This system allows deeper setting depth capabilities because of its predictable operation, decreased friction and reduced hydraulic chamber area.
Working pressures to 7,500 psi make the WRDP-2 suitable for many applications. Internal equalization means surface pumping facilities are not needed to equalize pressure across the flapper. Spring spacer adjustable; cost-effectively adjusts closing pressure without changing the power spring in some models. Industry-preferred, rod piston actuation provides predictable operation, decreased friction and reduced hydraulic chamber area.

should be applied with a non-scarring wrench until the components are fully made up to the specified torque. 4.3 Handling & Storage - General Inspect all tools when received. Carefully remove packaging bands from the tools. Avoid surface damage. During storage or transit, protect all external sealing materials with plastic mesh or other suitable material to reduce the risk of damage to the packing seals. All communication ports (either open holes or a control line connection) should be covered or protected using corks, plugs, or threaded caps as may be appropriate. For storage of gas lift product seats, Schlumberger recommends the installation of corks to protect the seating edges. These corks should remain in place until the product is assembled. If protective corks are not available, place a maximum of 10 seats face to face in plastic mesh and close the ends. Store all tools in a closed, dry, temperaturecontrolled environment. Store tools vertically. All tools direct from the factory will be painted where applicable and corrosion inhibiting fluids will have been applied. Any equipment returned from the field and repaired or redressed must be prepared for storage in the same manner applied when the product was originally supplied from the manufacturer. When transporting a Slickline safety valve, do not allow the flapper to touch the seat during transport (i.e. transport with a wooden dowel rod between the flapper and the seat). Make sure that the transportation devices (thread protectors, plugs, dowel rods, etc.) are removed and test the flappers freedom of movement before attempting to install the valve in the well.
B. Apply surface hydraulic pressure to the safety valve hydraulic control line after tubing differential pressure has been equalized. Continue the application of hydraulic control pressure until the gauge registers a pressure equal to the sum of the shut-in tubing pressure at valve depth, the opening pressure of the safety valve, plus a safety factor margin of 1000 psi minus the hydrostatic head in the control line. Note: The hydraulic control line pressure should not exceed the rated working pressure of the wellhead. Maintain this control line pressure on the safety valve to keep the valve fully open. Without external pressure source available A. Slowly apply surface hydraulic pressure until the valve starts to equalize. Monitor the wellhead tubing pressure gauge, to see if tubing pressure is continuing to rise to shutin pressure. B. Due to increasing tubing pressure acting to close to the valve while equalizing, an occasional increase in hydraulic pressure may be required to stay in the equalizing mode. C. When the gauge registers a pressure equal to the tubing pressure, continue to apply hydraulic control line pressure until the safety valve is fully open. The fully open condition will be marked by a sudden increase in pressure registered on the surface hydraulic control line pressure gauge. The valve should be open with a zero psi opening pressure differential across the valve. D. Adjust the hydraulic control line pressure until the control line pressure gauge registers a pressure equal to the sum of the shut-in tubing pressure at valve depth, the opening pressure of the safety valve,
The safety factor should never be less than 75 psi MFG =The maximum fluid gradient in pounds per square inch, per foot. The gradient used should be based on the heaviest fluid (or combination of fluids) to which the hydraulic port of the valve can be exposed. 6.0 Operating Requirements 6.1 Valve Equalizing & Opening Procedure 1. Shut in well at the wellhead. 2. Even though this valve is equipped with a selfequalizing device, opening the valve against a differential is not recommended. Therefore, Schlumberger recommends the following two procedures for opening the safety valve. With external pressure source available A. Before the opening procedure can begin, the differential pressure across the safety valve must be reduced to zero, i.e. the pressure in the tubing above the flapper must be equal to the shut-in pressure below the flapper. This is accomplished by applying pressure to the tubing above the valve and monitoring the pressure increase. Equalization of pressure across the valve will be evident when the pressurization decreases significantly.
Operating Manual
7.2 Operator Information Required Furnish the wireline operator with the following: Well location. Tubing detail and previous wireline reports to include minimum diameter and known restrictions or obstructions. Wellhead connections and maximum anticipated pressures. Job to be performed, including necessary special equipment. Type wireline unit required. Whether the hole is straight or deviated.
7.3 Operating Practices Securely anchor skid units before beginning any operations. Ensure the following items are included: Necessary fishing tools to recover any work tools that may have been run and lost in the hole. Wireline valve or wireline blowout preventor (BOP). Sufficient lubricator assembly to enclose all tools on a trip and of adequate pressure rating to contain maximum anticipated well pressure. Stuffing box with BOP plug. Weight indicator. Mechanical jars. Sufficient knuckle joints to ensure flexibility of the work string in deviated holes. Depthometer
Install the wireline valve and lubricator and test to the maximum anticipated well pressure. Do not throttle through the master valve to fill the lubricator with well fluid. Count and record the exact number of turns to open and close the master valve.
Operating Manual
working order. Run the valve in the open position and use a running prong. Ensure the prong will not damage the sealing surfaces. Before seating the valve, completely flood the control conduit with hydraulic fluid. 7.4 Sequence Of Operation Run the pulling tool into the well using the appropriate pulling prong and wireline tool string. As the collets of the pulling tool contact the restricted diameter at the top of the lock collet, the pulling tool collet moves back against the collet return spring. Momentum allows the collet core to continue downward. The collet fingers are deflected inward toward the reduced diameter of the collet core by the restricted diameter to the lock collet fishing neck. Once the collet fingers are in the reduced diameter of the collet core, passage through the restricted opening of the fishing neck is made possible. As the collet fingers clear the opening of the fishing neck, the collet return spring shifts the collet fingers back over the larger diameter of the collet core and the running tool is locked into the locking recess of the fishing neck of the lock collet. The lock is a pull-up-to-release mechanism. Pulling up on the pulling tool shears the brass shear pins in the neck of the collet and disengages the collet fingers of the lock collet. As the lock collet is pulled upward, the locking dogs are released from the locking recess of the safety valve nipple and the valve can be pulled to the surface. 7.5 Aborting the Pulling Operation If it becomes necessary to release the pulling tool without pulling the lock, downward jarring will bring the collet housing into contact with the top of the lock. This action will cause the shear pin holding the collet housing and the inner mandrel to be sheared. When this occurs, the inner mandrel moves downward under continued jarring and the ratchet sleeve engages the inner mandrel and holds it in the downward position.

Use Dow Corning 55M grease or an equivalent silicone o-ring lubricant designed to meet the specifications of MIL-G-4343. Thread Lubricant DO NOT USE API-modified thread compound on coated threads. Use a clear grease such as "BG" grease with HCF, high-temperature, load-bearing (BG Products Inc., Wichita, Kansas 67211). For noncoated threads, use a lubricant such as API-modified thread compound that has demonstrated good antigalling properties. Do not use thread lubricant as a seal lubricant. Thread Sealant/Adhesive Use a thread sealant/adhesive (i.e. Loctite 242 or equivalent) where specified. See text for proper application. Hydraulic Fluid Choose a hydraulic fluid compatible with the environment, control line and safety equipment used. Where excessively low temperatures are anticipated, aviation type hydraulic fluids that meet MIL-H-5606A may be required. For standard service environments, commonly used industrial oils are normally acceptable. If there is any question concerning the compatibility of a particular fluid, consult the equipment manufacturer. 10.0 Functional Testing Perform functional testing in accordance with API Specification 14A, Subsurface Safety Valves, latest edition and specification QA-22. The valve fails the functional test if the leak rate exceeds 5 scf/minute or more than one bubble appears in any 30 second monitoring period. Note: Prior to the functional test, note the cautions outlined in the maintenance procedure in this manual.
9.0 Recommended Supplies Cleaning Fluid Use appropriate cleaning solvents. Since solvents do not leave an oil film, apply thread and seal lubricant as specified. Wear rubber gloves when using cleaning solvents.

17. Remove the hydraulic chamber housing (5) from the lock adapter (1). Note: Minimize side loading and damage due to galling by breaking apart the hydraulic chamber housing and the lock adapter in the vertical position. 18. Remove the backup rings (6), the packing rings (7,8) and the adapter rings (9) from the hydraulic chamber housing (5). Remove and discard all packing, wiper rings, o-rings, o-ring backup rings and tee seal sets each time the safety valve is disassembled for repair. 13.0 Redress Procedure Only qualified Schlumberger employees may attempt to repair or redress this valve. Redressing consists of the replacement of perishable packing components and any seals that are disturbed in changing out the packing. 1. Place the safety valve in a vise stand, gripping on the approximate center of the spring housing (17). Do not crush the spring housing. Use only enough force to hold the valve securely. 2. To minimize galling damage, set the hydraulic chamber housing/lock adapter assembly in the vertical position. Hold a backup wrench on the hydraulic chamber housing (5) and remove the lock adapter (1) from the hydraulic chamber housing. 3. Remove the two adapter rings (9), the six packing rings (7,8) and the backup rings (6) from the hydraulic chamber housing (5). Replace the packing with new from the Redress Kit and assembly the packing stack onto the hydraulic chamber housing per the assembly drawing. Discard the replaced parts. 4. Remove the two o-rings (2,4) and backup rings (3) from the I.D. of the lock adapter (1). Generously lubricate the new o-rings with seal lubricant and replace the discarded o-rings and backup rings with new from the Redress Kit. The following procedure may be helpful:
13. Remove the power spring (16) from the spring housing (17). 14. Push the flow tube (18) into the spring housing (17) as far as possible. Reposition the valve in the vise stand, gripping on the lock adapter (1). 15. Remove the spring housing (17) from the hydraulic chamber housing (5). Do not allow the flow tube to be withdrawn from the hydraulic chamber housing when the spring housing is removed. 16. With the help of another technician, support the lower end of the flow tube (18) and carefully withdraw the flow tube from the hydraulic chamber housing (5) until the wiper rings (12) of the pistons (13) are exposed. Grasp each of the pistons and withdraw the flow tube (18) and piston protector (14) from the hydraulic chamber housing. Do not allow the pistons to fall as they are removed from the hydraulic chamber housing. Operating Manual

flow tube and seal rupture will occur if the flow tube is extended more that five inches. The flow tube is extended (pumped out) to provide a wrenching surface as the choke is made up on the flow tube. 13. Install the o-ring (20), the equalizing seat (21), the equalizing soft seat (22) and the equalizing seat retainer (23) over the end of the flow tube (18) in the order named. Mate the pieces together and move them up against the lower end of the body (19). 14. Apply thread sealant/adhesive to the lower threads of the flow tube (18). Make up the choke (26) onto the end of the flow tube. Note: Use a backup wrench to prevent unnecessary rotation of the flow tube while making up the choke. 15. Apply a liberal amount of seal lubricant to the entire polished surface of the choke (26). Insert the tee seal set (25) into the equalizing housing (24) and make up the equalizing housing onto the body (19). Note: After making up the equalizing housing to the body, a gap should exist between the top of the equalizing housing and the shoulder of the body. These two parts contact through the equalizing set components. 16. Release the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic chamber of the safety valve. The equalizing housing well centralize the choke on the equalizing soft seat as the flow tube is allowed to return to the closed position. 17. Install the o-ring (28) and backup rings (29) onto the seat insert (27). Install the seat insert into the equalizing housing (24). Ensure the seat insert is fully and evenly seated in the recess of the housing. Note: If necessary, use a block of malleable material (wood, brass, etc.) or a rubber mallet to assist without damaging the seat line.
9. Install the power spring (16) into the spring housing (17) as far as possible. 10. Insert the spring compressor rod through the bore of the safety valve from the upper end of the valve. Ensure the free end of the spring compressor rod extends approximately two feet beyond the end of the power spring (16). 11. Install the o-ring (4) and backup rings (11) onto the body (19). Make up the equalizing housing (24) onto the body, hand tight. Install the body over the spring compressor rod and move the body up against the lower end of the power spring. Make up the face plate and compressor wheel onto the spring compressor rod and begin compressing the power spring. Align the body with the end of the spring housing (17) and carefully mate the threads of the two pieces. Make up the body onto the spring housing while maintaining pressure on the body with the spring compressor assembly. Remove the spring compressor assembly from the safety valve when the body is fully made up on the spring housing. Remove the equalizing housing from the body. 12. Attach a hydraulic hand pump to the threaded hydraulic port of the lock adapter (1) and pump the flow tube (18) out of the body approximately three inches.
