A Step Change in Downhole Safety Valve Technology
Across the industry, thousands of wells remain shut in due to non-functioning downhole safety valves (DHSVs), while many others unknowingly operate without a functioning safety barrier. Traditional interventions to restore DHSV functionality come with high costs, in the North Sea, coming in at an average of £400k per intervention, and limited success rates, leaving operators with few viable alternatives.
TAQA Well Completions introduces the “secure” Intelligent Safety Valve, an autonomous, self-powered, and retrofittable solution designed to revolutionize well integrity management. Fully API-14A qualified, this advanced safety valve leverages pre programmed intelligence to distinguish normal flow conditions from emergency shut-in scenarios, ensuring a reliable safety response. Wireless surface communication provides daily functional verification, eliminating the risk of undetected DHSV failures.
Join this webinar to explore how this cutting edge technology is transforming well-safety operations, reducing intervention costs, and offering a robust, real-time alternative to traditional safety valve solutions.
