Auto Y-TooI - Features

 Outside dimensions as per existing Y-Tools

 Standard logging plugs can be deployed
 Functional at all deviations
 Function testing prior to installation
 Easily redressed
 ESP cables can be deployed both sides
 Can be utilized in Dual ESP installations

Section 3e Haward Technology Middle East 17

 ESP Application Engineering

Auto Y-TooI - Applications

 All existing standard By-Pass installations

 Bull heading of fluids while automatically closing off
the ESP from harmful chemicals
 Dual ESP installations do not require plugs to be set
for ESP switch over (especially applicable to subsea
wells)
 Automatic conversion to gas-lift or natural flow of
wells through By-Pass tubing after ESP failure or
blockage
