Dril-quip’s SingleBore™ Completion System is a
time-saving alternative to expensive traditional
subsea completion system designs.

Tension Joint

The SingleBore Completion System eliminates the need

to run and retrieve a wireline plug to open and close the

Tree
Control annulus. It employs these unique components:
Running Tool Umbilical
• Dril-Quip’s patented annulus
valve, the SB-Valve™

• SingleBore Tubing Hanger System

SingleBore Tree • SingleBore Subsea Tree

The performance and reliability of the SingleBore

SingleBore
Tubing
Completion System and its components are backed

by a team of experienced engineering, field service,
System
manufacturing and management specialists.

The SingleBore Completion System is designed
for use with ROVs.
• All valves can have ROV overrides and
visual position indicators
• Unique, low-cost ROV-assisted flowline
connection system is available
Unique Design = Less Cost
The unique design allows the SingleBore Tubing
Hanger, SingleBore Tree and Tree Cap to be run on
drill pipe or tubing, which lowers cost in two ways:
• Simplifies or eliminates many traditional
components; completion riser, multiple bore riser
spiders and complex lower riser packages are
not required
• Compact envelope dimensions and simpler
equipment offer maximum rig selection flexibil-
ity and make installation and operation easier
and faster
Safe and Dependable
The SingleBore Completion System offers all the
safety features of the traditional dual bore
completion system.
• Design allows for cleaning subsurface safety
valves (SSSV), chemical injection and electric
stabs before making tree connection
• Dril-Quip’s exclusive field-proven tubing hanger
sealing system is metal-to-metal
• The annulus SB-Valve is field proven
• The SingleBore Tubing Hanger and SingleBore
Tree components are field proven

• Additional Downhole Safety Valves

Unique Patented SB-Valve
and Annulus Access
The Singlebore Tubing Hanger • Allows larger production bore and the
System with Sb-Valve provides addition of downhole equipment
the Following benefits:
• Hydraulically opened and closed
• The SingleBore Tubing Hanger allows downhole safety through the workover control system
valve control, injection line connections, downhole
temperature and pressure monitoring, and a submersible • Replaces the need for a wireline plug in
pump power cable, if required the annulus bore of the tubing hanger

• The tubing hanger is available for H2S and severe service • Metal-to-metal sealing throughout;
of special note are metal-to-metal seals
• Tubing sizes up to 7" can be accommodated while between ball and seat seal, and between
maintaining a 2" annulus access
seat seal and tubing hanger body
• Dril-Quip‘s patented sb-Valve replaces annulus plug
• Sealing area is hard banded for
profile in the tubing hanger and the necessity for dual
bore running string long, durable life and reliable
sealing performance
• The Sb-Valve is pressure balanced so that pressure in the
annulus will not accidentally open or close the bore • Resilient seal backup

• The annulus SB-Valve system is testable from above to • Provides a 2" annulus access
confirm sealing integrity
• Field-proven performance

Control fluid in Port A provides pressure

Pressure in the annulus will not close the

Partially Closed
Control fluid in Port B starts the

Sb-valve Closed
Control fluid in Port B shifts the piston up,
moving the Sb-Valve annulus ball into the
closed position and blocking annulus access.
Pressure in the annulus will not arbitrarily
open the Sb-Valve, but instead will assist in
sealing the ball against the seat.

 The Singlebore Tree
the unique features of the Singlebore Tree
enable operators to save time and money

Singlebore Tree in Systems Integration Testing (SIT) • The SingleBore Tree requires less time for installation and
workover than all other tree types

• The SingleBore Tree is more compact, shorter and more

cost-effective than an equivalent dual bore or horizontal
completion tree

• The workover riser system and surface tree for the SingleBore
Tree are simpler and less expensive than systems for traditional
dual bore trees

• Since no wireline plug is required for the annulus, vertical ac-

cess to the annulus is not needed; the only vertical bore through
Singlebore Tree after blast and paint
the SingleBore Tree is the production bore

• The design can accommodate tubing diameters in the range of

2 3/8" to 7"; the production bore is normally set off-center to
accommodate control line connections

• Since only one vertical bore exists, the SingleBore Tree can be
run on tubing or drill pipe with an umbilical; the SingleBore
Tree design eliminates the need for an expensive dual bore
completion riser system

• Flow through the tree to and from the annulus occurs in a series
of connected bores; annular flow from downhole exits from
the side of the tree through the annulus master valve; during
running or retrieving, or during workover, a 1-inch O.D. high-
pressure line run with the workover control umbilical provides
access to the annulus

workboat onto the rig
• The SingleBore Tree and Tree Cap Running and Retrieving Tool
replace an expensive lower riser package and an emergency
disconnect system

• The SingleBore Tree is available for through-tree pigging

• The SingleBore Tree maintains all safety features of a dual

bore tree

• The SingleBore Tree body incorporates integral production mas-

ter and production swab valves and an annulus master valve
