This is achieved by design; the normally closed safety valves are controtied from the surface via a hydraulic control line that extends from the valve, through the wellhead to a surface controlled emergency closure system. Hydraulic pressure applied through the control line maintains the valve in the opened. Removal of control line pressure retums the valve to its normally closed position. Setting depth directly affects the ‘operational characteristics of the valve. Therefore, these valves are offered in various setting depth configurations to ensure that falleate operation is achieved. Optimax™ tubing retrievable safety valves are offered with a full compliment of remediation tools to either lock the valve opened or establish hydraulic communication. ‘The Optimax™ Lock Open Tool permanently locks the valve in the full opened position allowing the valve to be pulled from the weil or accept an Optimax™ Wireline Retrievable Safety Vatve, a separation sleeve, or any other equipment that may require the safety valve to be permanently locked open. The Optimax™ Communication Too! Is used to penetrate the tubing retrievable safety valves’ hydraulic piston bore, establishing control line pressure to the bore of the valve. This allows the existing hydraulic contro! system utilized for the tubing retrievable safety valve to be used to operate the Optimax™ Wireline Retrievable Safety Valve set within the tubing retrievable valve, providing continued failsafe operation. 30f 38 eee ee yy INDEX NO.

MODEL | WSPES SE neat Weatherford’ fev DATE May-2005 5.0 Hydraulic Control Line Fluid ‘The proper selection of a hydraulic control fine fuid is extical to the operation of a surface controled subsurface safety valve SCSSV. Factors relating to the well and the specific properties of the hydraulic control line uid chosen may have an Impact on valve performance, such as increased closure response time. Cleanliness - Hydraulic fuids must remain relatively clean and free from solids to minimize the potential for seal weat ‘and or damage. Hydraulic ids shoul! maintain a cleanliness consistent with NAS-1638 Class 7 or better. A firing system with a suction fiter of 40 microns or better may need to be installed into the hydraulic system to achieve the required hydraulic fluid cleantiness, Response Time ~ The duration of ime that elapses from the instant surface pressure is released to closure of the ‘SCSSV. Factors that directly influence response time are contro ine langth, control line size (determined by wal thickness), Nid viscosity, and wel temperatures, amid other considerations. (Lower viscosity fluis may need to be considered in unusually cola ‘environments, of for completions where excessively long control lines are utilized.) Temperature Effects ~ Primarily temperature effects alter the viscosity of the hydraulic Nuid, however, the fid ‘selected must also remain thermally stable if elevated temperatures are a factor At extreme temperatures, oll based hydraulic fuids may tend to break down, leaving deposits on wetted ‘components. “Therefore, ensure the fuid selected is stable beyond the operating temperature for which it will be exposed. Woeter-Based Hydraulic Fluid ~ Control line fuids that primarily consist of 50-75% water, 25-60% glycol, and between (0-10% corrosion additives. Water based fuids are widely used in sub sea applications for environmental consideration and for low viscosities, to control response time in longer sub sea control ines. However, metallic components exposed to water-based control line fuids may corrode, therefore, careful selection of ‘metallurgy exposed to the fluid in combination wth corrosion inhibitors added to the ‘uid will minimize correctional effec. ‘Special Considerations ‘Water-based control line fuids require special handling to prevent contamination either by debris or from ‘other hydraulic control fluids. Avoid cross contamination of water-based control line fuid with hydrocerbon-based fuids (oil, grease, diesel, etc.) if a new SCSSV is required to utiize a water-based hydraulic fuid, the safety valve manufacturer must be notifed in advance of the intent to use a water- based hydraulic fluid to ensure proper SCSSV preparation (See API 14ANSO 104321909 Annex F. Checklist of Suggested Ordering Information for SSSV Equipment). For redress of SCSSVs, only those lubricants spectied by the fluid manufacturer should be used in or around the hydraulic control fuid ‘chamber.

Hyerastate prossutes must be coretdored when detarmning the opening Sina closing pressures atthe valve 2. Verify/Test the instrumentation measuring the opening and closing pressures to ensure its accuracy 3. Coafim the valve has been fuly equalzed. Ifa dfeertial pressure exists (/e. upstteam pressure trapped below the Flapper in excess of downstream pressure), the opening pressure of the vate vill increase. With the valve fully equalized, open and close the valve five (5) tres recording the ful open hydrautic pressure each time. ifthe average opening pressure &s unacceptable, contact the nearest WCS service center Flapper Falls to Open Pressure control line and check for Piston movement. (If Control Line fails to hold pressure, see paragraph one; Control Line Looses Pressure and or Will Not Retain Pressure) 1. Instantaneous control line pressure increase. ‘a if a console is being used for vaNe operation, system check the consol to ensure it is ‘operating property. Bypass the console by connecting a hand pump directiy to the wellhead Apply full working pressure to the contol line to open the valve (Refer to the Operational Data Module in this manual for maximum control line pressures) b. Check for blockage at the wellhead connection. Install a new wellhead fitting and try to re- pressurize. c._ Verify that the wellhead has been driled correctly and that the correct port is being used d._ Determine if the wellhead or control ine is blocked from debris, 1. Apply maximum control line pressure to the valve (Reference the Operational Data Module for maximum control line pressure), ji. Blood the control line pressure into @ reservoir other than that of the hand pumps, to measure returns, Repeat at least twenty times, taking care to measure retums accurately. If blockage is moving, returns will stat to increase in volume. 'v. Continue unti valve either starts to function or contol ine blockage ceases to move. When ether point is reached, continue to pressurize control line twenty more times, ¥. If control ine blockage remains, discuss pulling the valve and replacing the contro! line with the company man 2. If the hydraulic control ine system pressures normally, yet the valve remains closed the Flapper may have difforontial prossure across it ft 6 not an equalizing vale ‘a To equalze the Flapper, apply tubing pressure from the wellhead until there are indications ‘hat the pressure has exceeded that below the Flapper (i. pumping through the Flapper) . Apply maximum control ine pressure to the system (Refer to the Operating Data Module). i Monitor pressure for Piston movement. Ji. If valve remains closed, continue to hold tubing pressure and pressurize the control line twenty times. ii, Ifthe valve stil remains closed, pull the valve and inspect an the nig floor 41. Attach a hand pump to the valve and actuate open and closed. 2 Ifthe vate fails to actuate, return the valve to the nearest WCS service center for repair 3. If the contro! line pressures normally and Piston moves normally, the completion may be a dual or tandem completion. Very that pressute is actuating the desired SCSSV. Welhheads can be ported backwards, Fallure to Close 1. Scale or other forms of debris may have accumulated in and around the moving parts of the valve. Flow the well to attempt to clean the tubing ofthis debris. 2 Pressurize the control line to determine if there is any Piston movement. ‘a. If there is no free Piston movernent i. Apply maximum control fine pressure to the system (Refer to the Operating Data Module), and bleed twenty times. li. Monitor the fluid retums for any increase in volume, which would indicate Piston ‘movernent. i, If ths falls, pull the valve and replace i with another SCSSV, vw Weatherford’ 13.0 Field Repair General Requirements 4. Replacement of items other than those specified in the redress procedure is considered a field repair Reference the Redress section ofthis manual 2. All replacement parts. shall be qualified parts. Qualifed parts are those parts that nave been manufactured in accordance with the WCS quality assurance program, and must meet or exceed the performance requiremonts of the orginal part Note: Repairs to API regulated safety vaives and related equipment are to be performed by qualified personnel, at an authorized WCS service center. Field Repair as defined by API RP 14B, is an activity involving disassembly, reassembly and functional testing of SSSV equipment with or without the replacement of qualified parts. Field repair ‘does not under any circumstances include machining, welding, heat treat or any other manufacturing process. Redressing a valve does not constitute a field repair (Refer to the redress section of this manual) ‘Qualified Personnel as defined by API RP 14B are those individuals with the characteristics or abilties gained through training or experience or both as measured against established requirements, such as performance standards or tests that enable the individual to perform a required function. Records of these standards and or tests are to be placed in the individual's training fle and maintained at the authorized service center. Field Repair Procedure Disassemble per disassembly instructions, (Refer to the Disassembly Procedure in this manual). 1 2 Thoroughly clean and inspect ail parts prior to reassembly 3. Replacement part must mest or exceed the performance requirements of te original part. 4. Replace any damaged metal part that cannot be salvaged, with a qualified part listed in the parts list ‘Al burs, rough spots, or other iregularties must be removed prior to reassembly. 5. Replace al item identified in the Repair Kit 6 Reassemble per assembly instructions. (Refer to the Assembly Procedure in this manual} Post Field Repair Testing Following Field Repa, the folowing tess must be permed ‘The valve must be bench tested in accordance with the Bench Testing Procedures outlined in the Functional Test Data module ofthis manual, to assure smooth operation during both the opening and closing cycle. If any obvious abnormality is observed, the valve should be disassembled and Inspected (Refer to Functional Test Data module) 2.
