New safety valve works on low pressure

摘要

Regardless of depth or well pressure, the valve requires only the low-pressure circuit in the umbilical. In the oil field, primary technology drivers focus on safety and economic efficiency. Unfortunately, the deeper, harsher environments into which developments are moving often place these drivers in conflict. While equipment must maintain integrity in deeper, more challenging environmental conditions, it must not sacrifice safety standards and economic efficiency. This is particularly true for subsurface safety valves where conventional solutions are being pushed to the limits of their capabilities.
