“CMPA”TM Non-Elastomeric Circulating Sliding Sleeve
Product No. 810-81

Description
The Model “CMPA” Circulating Sliding Sleeve
is a high performance, non elastomeric equalizing
sliding sleeve which allows communication be-
tween the tubing and annulus for circulation. The
Circulating Sliding Sleeve allows hydraulic setting
of packers and verifies the seal integrity between
the packer and the tubing. After the tubing pres-
sure test is performed, annulus pressure shifts the
outer circulating sleeve downward to the full open
position. This feature allows for circulation of
heavy completion fluids out of the annulus string
while the well is flanged up, permitting safer com-
pletion of the well and eliminates the need to make
a wireline trip in the heavy fluid. When desired, the
sleeve can be shifted closed using standard wire-
line methods with a standard shifting tool. A lock-
ing profile is included in the upper sub of the sleeve
with a polished seal bore above and below the
ports, to except a variety of wireline locks, packing
and accessories.
