Special Features
This section briefly describes some of the special features
of Halliburton’s safety valves including the contoured
flapper and equalizing feature.

Contoured Flapper
Halliburton took advantage of its broad experience with ball
valves to design a reliable contoured flapper valve by
adapting the spherical sealing surface used in ball valves to
the flapper shape. The contoured flapper safety valve      8

offers a distinct advantage over other typical curved flappers
Contoured Flapper with Continuous
because it passes API Class 1 and 2 verification testing
without relying on a resilient seal. Spherical Sealing Surface 

The contoured flapper incorporates the proven advantages of


the spherical metal-to-metal seal of a ball-type closure while
maintaining the simple operation of a flapper valve. The
mating spherical seal surfaces, lapped before assembly,
provide increased bearing area as well as improved flapper
centralization during valve closure. The increased width of
the spherical seal also allows contouring of the upper and
lower flapper surfaces, resulting in smaller ODs and/or
enlarged IDs. The flapper’s dual hinges and standard torsion
spring provide stability and high initial closure forces to
enhance valve sealing reliability. This unique technology was
awarded the prestigious Special Meritorious Award for
Engineering Innovation.

allows theLocation of the
flow tube,
when activated, to radially displace the ball outward, opening
an equalizing path around the flapper mechanism. A closely
controlled channel between the flapper seat and the spring
housing provides for a large equalizing area and prevents
debris migration into the metal-to-metal sealing area. After
equalization, the flow tube moves down to open the flapper Housing
and allows the flow tube to downstop against its metal seat, Flapper 
thereby isolating the equalizing mechanism from flow.

equalizing flow through a closely controlled flow path. This Sideport Self-Equalizing Feature 
flow path allows the pressure drop to be taken through the
close concentric fit of the flapper seat and mating housing
instead of across the equalizing valve seat itself. This close
concentric fit and controlled flow path provide an enlarged
flow area and enhanced equalizing times while
simultaneously filtering the equalizing flow, which prevents
erosion and helps ensure a long operating life.

The sideport equalizing device has also been tested


extensively in sandy environments. In addition to
successfully completing API Specification 14A verification
testing for Class 2 (sand service), the sideport underwent
endurance testing. This testing involved putting the
equalizing device in the equalizing position and flowing a
sand-laden fluid through the device for seven days. Leak tests
performed afterward revealed no detrimental effects from
erosion, and the sealing capability of the equalizing device
was not affected. The equalizing device has also been tested
successfully in extensive sand closure tests commonly used
for North Sea applications. The safety valve is subjected to
120 slam closures in a sand-laden fluid, a 20-fold increase
over the normal API Specification 14A test. Other tests
performed include repeated equalizing operations and
nitrogen leak verification tests in a sandy environment.

Additionally, the equalizing

(approximately 5,000 psi BHP). Unlike in a well scenario, the
gas was vented to the atmosphere during the test which
means the full pressure differential was present for the
duration of each equalization (open system), applying
maximum gas velocity for the entire cycle.

Through use of a unique magnetic coupler, the actuation


piston and hydraulic operating system connected to the
DepthStar® tubing-retrievable safety valve is isolated from
the tubing wellbore. As shown here, the outer and inner
magnetic sleeves are separated by a well pressure containing
housing, creating a chamber for the actuating piston that is
absolutely isolated from the wellbore. Use of the magnetic
coupler makes it possible to remove all moving seals that are
normally found in a subsurface safety valve completely from
the wellbore environment.

A primary benefit of this technology is the DepthStar TRSV


gives the flexibility to place the subsurface safety valve at a
depth based on the requirements and goals of the completion
and not based on the limitations of the safety valve.

Capillary Deliquification Safety System


In mature fields, liquid loading of gas wells is a common
problem. In the short term, this can lead to decreased
production, and if not managed correctly, can ultimately
reduce overall reservoir recovery. One option for managing
the problem is the use of surfactants as foaming agents to
artificially unload the well. The preferred method would
allow automatic and continuous delivery of these surfactants. Surfactant or
Chemical Inlet
Halliburton’s capillary deliquification safety system facilitates
delivery of surfactants or other chemicals and liquids to a
specified point within the completion while maintaining the
Conventional
purpose and functionality of a downhole safety device. The Wireline
deliquification safety system can be installed in an existing Retrievable
completion with the appropriate safety valve landing nipple Safety Valve
profile—either a dedicated safety valve landing nipple or  Assembly Injection

within a tubing-retrievable safety valve where the control Conduit


system communication is activated to operate an installed
wireline-retrievable safety valve (WLRSV).

The system’s injection feature operates via the wireline-


Injection
retrievable safety valve control system. When control-line Control Valve
pressure reaches a predetermined pressure, a regulator Housing
installed below the WLRSV opens, allowing chemical
injection to take place. Use of the existing control line Production
provides a cost-effective method of installing a semi- Inlets
permanent injection system without the need to modify 
the wellhead. Capillary Connector 

The WLRSV is designed to shut in the well at a point below


the surface and is opened with hydraulic control pressure. In
this application, the applied chemical injection pressure
maintains the safety valve in the open position during
injection and the valve closes when injection is stopped.

Tubing-Pressure (Ambient) Safety Valves


Halliburton’s Storm Choke® H and K safety valves are Lock Mandrel
described below.

Storm Choke H Safety Valves


Halliburton Storm Choke H safety valves are ambient-type,
wireline-retrievable valves that are normally closed and
precharged with a set dome pressure. When the well’s flowing
pressure drops below the predetermined dome-pressure
charge as a result of a rupture in the flowline or surface Equalizing Sub
equipment, the dome pressure and valve spring are designed
to close the valve, shutting in the well.

The H valve is used in wells producing large volumes of


abrasive fluids. Its large bore is not restricted by a flow bean.
The valve is designed to resist pressure surges. A metal-to-
metal ball and seat is used as the primary closure mechanism. Top Sub

The H valve is ideal for protecting wells with declining


bottomhole pressure as this valve is tubing-pressure sensitive
instead of velocity sensitive. To reopen, the valve pressure
must be fully equalized either by applying pressure in the
tubing from the surface or by running a prong to allow Piston
equalization from below. The valve will reopen when the
tubing pressure, acting on the internal piston area, Spring
overcomes the dome charge.

Storm Choke® K Safety Valves


Halliburton Storm Choke® K safety valves are ambient-type, Lock Mandrel
wireline-retrievable valves with the largest flow area of all
direct-controlled safety valves on the market. They are ideally
suited for high-volume, low-pressure wells. These valves are
normally closed and precharged with a set dome pressure.

When the well’s flowing pressure drops below the Equalizing Sub
predetermined dome-pressure charge due to a rupture in
flowline or surface equipment, the dome pressure and main
valve spring close the valve, shutting in the well below the Top Sub
earth’s surface. This valve contains a detent mechanism to
provide a positive snap-action closure at the predetermined
disaster rate of the valve. Its bore is not restricted by a flow
bean. The valve is designed to resist pressure surges. A metal-
to-metal poppet valve and seat comprise the valve’s primary Valve Piston
closure mechanism.
Spring
The K valve is ideal for protecting wells with declining Rod
bottomhole pressure. This valve closes in situations where a
pressure decline would not activate a valve with a flow bean.
Valve Body
To reopen the valve, the operator must fully equalize pressure
either by applying pressure in the tubing from the surface or
by an equalizing prong. The valve will reopen when the
tubing pressure acting on the internal piston area overcomes
the dome charge.

Injection Safety Valves

 WI Retrievable Injection Valve


The WI retrievable injection valve is a high-performance,
high flow-rate injection valve.
High throughput is achieved by a unique valve configuration
that minimizes turbulent and potentially erosive flow.
Operation is not dependent on a specific flow rate, pressure
or setting depth, negating the need for adjustment over time.
The valve incorporates a metal-to-metal valve and seat that is
energized by the combination of an integral spring and well
pressure acting from below.
The WI injection valve can be deployed on a wireline lock or
through-tubing pack-off device providing flexibility that is
not available with alternative injection valve systems.
As a result of the simple design with fewer parts, redress and
repair costs are considerably lower than those for other
injection valve systems.

Applications
The WI injection valve is primarily used in water injection
applications as an alternative to conventional tubing or
wireline-set safety valves. The valve is also commonly used as
a retrofit solution in water injectors where a tubing to
annulus leak has occurred. The valve can be deployed below
the leak point to eliminate uncontrolled annulus pressure
increases when the injection stops.

Features
• Compatible with all known lock systems
• Enhanced internal flow profile
• Simple design and construction
• Flow-loop testing performed to establish pressure drop
versus pump rate

Ordering Information
Specify: nipple bore and lock profile, service (standard, %H2O, %CO2,
amines), pressure rating and temperature, flow rate.

Annular Safety Systems


Annular vent sleeve valves and one-trip annular safety
systems are described in this section.

AV Annulus Safety Valve


The AV annulus safety valve is a fully retrievable high-
performance annulus safety system packer with integral
annulus safety valve. The system provides annular bypass
through a hydraulically operated valve array. The AV system
is run in a single trip in conjunction with a setting sub.

Applications
The AV system is used for the control of annulus fluids in gas
lift applications, for the monitoring of annulus pressures in
critical situations, and in one or two-trip annulus safety
system completions. The completion can be run to depth
and set with the surface tubing hanger flanged up.

It can also be used in completions where spacing out against


a subsurface tubing hanger is required, i.e., no elastomeric
expansion joint needed.
The tailpipe can be left in either tension or compression.
It can be used where high tensile loads and pressure
differentials exist with the completion anchored in
unsupported or poor condition casing.

Features

• Interlock system prevents pre-set


• Tubing test facility while running
• Hydraulically set in one trip on tubing with no
mandrel movement
• Annulus-mounted release mechanism
• Internal/external components rotationally locked
together
• Element anti-extrusion system
• One-trip system allows multiple control-line bypass
• Premium thread connections—no elastomeric seals
tubing to annulus

• Secondary release method available with simple


tubing cut

Annular Vent Valve


The Halliburton gas vent valve is designed to be threaded
onto a retrievable, hydraulic-set production packer. The vent
valve is non-equalizing, hydraulically operated, and allows
for gas bypass around the packer. The valve is opened by
applying hydraulic control pressure, and closes when the
pressure is released. This particular vent valve allows pressure
testing of the packer without affecting the functionality of
the valve. Also, pressure from below the valve is not able to
open the valve.
The gas vent valve is opened by hydraulic control-line
pressure. The power spring acts against the piston to move
the valve to the closed position when control-line pressure is
released. The valve is designed with a metal-to-metal seal to
contain pressure.
