Model “L” Sliding Sleeve For H2S Service

Product No. 810-12

Introduction
The Model “L” Sliding Sleeve for H2S Service is
a down-hole sleeve valve used to establish com-
munication, when desired, between the tubing and
annulus. It is designed for use in wells with any
measurable percentage of H2S. All parts are alloy
steel, heat treated to 22 Rc maximum, per
N.A.C.E. 1F166. Selective and/or Top No-Go
Locking Devices are available for use with the
Sleeve. It has seal bores above and below the
ports and a Top No-Go Shoulder and Locking
Groove. The shoulder and groove are utilized in
Top No-Go landing and the groove, only in Selec-
tive locating and landing. The “L” Sliding Sleeve lo-
cates, seals and retains Flow Control Accessories
that have either Top No-Go or Selective Locks.
Refer to Flow Control Systems units for those
Accessories which may be landed only in the up-
per bore of the "L" Sliding Sleeve.
Important:
When any Accessory is landed in a Model
“L” Sliding Sleeve using a Model “E” Running
Tool, Product No. 811-17, the Running Tool
must be dressed so that only the downfacing
Locks open during the initial setting operation.
When the Accessory is run on a “C-1” Running
Tool, Product No. 811-06, with Dogs trailing,
the Running Tool must be dressed to locate on
the Sliding Sleeve bore. (Refer to Running Tool
units.)

WARNING
Use of Baker equipment contrary to
manufacturer’s specification may result in
property damage, serious injury or fatality.
Shifting Tools
1. Standard Shifting Tools - May be used to shift
most sizes of Model "L" Sliding Sleeves. (See
Shifting Tool Chart.)
2. Model “D-2” Shifting Tool, Product No. 810-72
Specifically designed for the Model “L” Sliding
Sleeve to provide safe, selective, and con-
trolled shifting. Locates, shifts, and indicates
any number of a series of “L” Sleeves (same
size) in a tubing string in any order without dis-
turbing the others.
In conjunction with the “L” Sleeve, the “D-2”
Shifting Tool is designed to open the Closing
Sleeve without seal damage or being blown up
the hole, even under extreme differential pres-
sure from the annulus.
Features / Benefits
• Closing Sleeve Seals - Upper seals are
designed to accommodate elastomer swell, to
prevent pressure trapping, and to require only a
moderate and consistent shifting force.
• Lower seals have all the above features, and in
addition are integrally mold-bonded to the
Closing Sleeve. This, plus their dynamically
determined shape, permits the "L" Sliding
Sleeve to be opened against severe differential
from either the casing or tubing side without
seal damage.
• Collet Lock on Closing Sleeve - Provides a
uniform shifting force requirement. Immune to
solids.
• Closing Sleeve Skirt - Provides insurance
against being blown up the hole during an
opening operation. This is accomplished by
placing the flow path above the engaging
members of any shifting tool.
• Seal Bores - Contoured and polished to pass
Chevron Packing without damage.
• Integral Locking Groove.
• Recourse - If, for some reason, the Closing
Sleeve cannot be closed, the ports can still be
blanked off with an appropriate Accessory.
• Versatility - Depending upon the bore size used
and the tubing size, the "L" Sliding Sleeve will
function in Top No-Go and/or Selective
systems. In the closed position it can be
considered and used as a Non-Ported Seating
Nipple. In the open position it can be
considered and used as a Ported Seating
Nipple.
• Severe-Service Chevron Packing - Standard
on all Accessories.
• Performance Properties - See table on page 2.
• Material Selection - Equipped with Upper and
Lower Subs of alloy steel. Materials are heat-
treated based on National Association of
Corrosion Engineers Specification 1F166
(hardness is 22 Rc MAX). The Housing, coated
to prevent corrosion, provides a smooth
surface for the Closing Sleeve Seals.
Cold Weather Surface Testing
When making surface tests in cold weather, a
false leakage may be indicated due to the low tem-
perature of the seals. At low temperatures (not en-
countered in the hole) the seals lose their elastic
ability and therefore are unable to follow the bal-
looning effect of the housing during high pressure
surface testing. To prevent a false leakage indica-
tion, heat the Sleeve prior to testing, being careful
not to damage the seals.
Assembly and Disassembly
Refer to Drawing No. 188-285.
CAUTION
Minimum make-up torque for the two straight
threads should meet the API requirements for
the tubing size and weight required for each
Sliding Sleeve. Under no circumstances
should this torque be transmitted through the
Sleeve Housing as this may cause distortion in
the area of the communication ports.
1. The Closing Sleeve is always assembled or
disassembled via the lower end of the housing.
2. Upper and Lower Subs are bumped up the
same as equivalent size tubing joints.
3. Lubrication: Apply Baker Down-Hole Grease
No. 1, Product No. 499-21, on Housing ID and
Closing Sleeve OD during assembly. Coat all
threads with Bakerseal, Product No. 899-20.
CAUTION
Minimum make-up torque for the two
straight threads should meet the API
requirements for the basic tubing size of
each Sliding Sleeve.

having a coupling with a larger OD than that shown, then the maximum OD would be greater.
** Otis Shifting Tools with Selective Keys can be run to any depth and shift open any Sleeve in a string, but by their design can close only the
uppermost Sleeve.
• For this size, Tool and Keys must be turned down to 2.718 diameter.
