Retrofittable safety valve
Page last modified
April 11 2024
Features & Benefits:
- Valve opens and closes with pump switch on – no control lines or surface control required
- API qualified bi-directional, pressure boosted sealing
- Low operating pressure, does not restrict ESP or pump operation or capability
- Prevents backspin of ESP
- Failsafe closed
- Metal to metal valve seat and poppet design for reliability
- Pump-thru/equalisation capability

Areas of Application
|
Retrofitting of safety valve in any well | Rigless cable-deployed ESP systems | Jet pumps and velocity strings | Coil tubing deployed ESPs.
|
Pressure
|
Patent pending design allows bi-directional sealing up to 5,000 psi. Well pressure or surface test pressure boosts valve shut.
|
Engineering Tools
|
SP Latch: facilitates positive location of the SPSV into a packer seal bore and prevents pump out | SP Packer: Designed specifically for the SPSV for simplified deployment.
|
Deployment
|
The SPSV can be run on cable or wireline independently, as part of the ESP assembly or as part of the packer assembly.
