Our clients asked us to help address the following concerns with their Gas Lift Systems
- The check valves were not metal/ metal and the valves didnt meet V1 specifications, as such they were the weak link in the primary well pressure containment envelope
- The annulus line valves were susceptible to damage from falling objects, with the risk that a large inventory of high pressure gas could be vented from the annulus.
- Existing systems were unreliable, frequent valve failures due to:
- Flow cutting during unloading and wet gas erosion problems
- Spring fatigue failure
- Installation damage
- Chattering in low dp applications
Our solution was a brand new gas lift system including
- A well barrier accreddited ( v1) metal metal seal downhole gas lift valves which is specially designed to address all of the downhole valve challenges listed above
- Actuated safety valves designed to be installed within the body of the wellhead M-SAS, which addresses the annulus line valve challenge
