Wellhead Solutions

Solutions for wellhead integrity challenges today.

Well integrity assurance is a fundamental need throughout the lifecycle of all wells. Definitions vary,
but the universally adopted rule to facilitate this is:

“At least two tested independent (primary and secondary) barriers between a hydrocarbon source
and the environment shall exist at all times”

Well Integrity Management

It has been reported that Sustained Annulus Pressure (SAP) is a challenge in over 40% of today’s
global well stock. Many wells are prematurely shut in as a result

Most commonly the SAP is un-planned, and a result of down-hole completion, casing or
cementation failure. In other cases, where lift gas is being injected or vent gas is being produced via
the annulus, the SAP is planned. Irrespective, both scenarios pose a significant risk to personnel and
facilities as the double barrier rule has been compromised in these wells. Specifically, the annulus
line gate valves, ring gaskets, instrument flanges and pressure gauges provide only a single barrier
between the hydrocarbon source and the environment.

Continuous monitoring of the annulus with SAP and its outer counterpart is critical for safe opera-
tions. A method for the safe management and bleed off of pressure in the event that it approaches
the casing or tubing design limits is also necessary.

Historically there was no optimum solution to these challenges. PTC have now developed unique
technologies, which fully address the issues. These are now field proven and increasingly adopted by
OPCO’s worldwide.

Annulus Pressure Monitoring

Continuous annulus pressure and temperature (P&T) monitoring, with enhanced well integrity using
PTC’s unique VR Sensor system. The system eliminates the need for wellhead gate valves and in-
strument flanges. It is also designed to maintain well integrity even upon impact or collision.

Annulus Pressure Management

PTC’s Master Surface Annulus Safety Valve (MSAS) is installed in the wellhead VR profile. It can be
used as an actuated (fail-safe closed) barrier valve in gas lift applications, or safety / bleed valve in
wells where SAP or annulus production needs to be managed.

Autonomous Annulus Pressure Management

The integration of PTC's VR sensor, Master Surface Annulus Safety Valve (MSAS) and Hydraulic
Control & Power Unit (HCPU) provides a system for autonomous and controlled annulus pressure
management. The system, called A-Pro, can be configured to both autonomous and human interven-
tion modes. The system can be self-sustained or connected to an external power source.

 Gas Lift Solutions

Solutions for todays Gas Lift challenges

Little has changed over the past decades to prepare the industry for the gas lift challenges being
faced today. These include:
• Deeper, longer, and more highly deviated wells.
• Higher pressures / temperatures and more corrosive / scaly environments
• Increased focus on well integrity
• Increased recognition of production inefficiencies due to multipointing
• The need to retrofit new or upgrade existing gas lift systems without recompletion
• The need to reduce the number of well interventions

To address these challenges, PTC has developed the next generation of gas lift technologies,
which are now widely used by most OPCO’s worldwide.

The increased reliability, flexibility and longevity these technologies offer, has also led to the de-
velopment of a unique life of field approach to gas lift system design.

Today's Gas Lift Valve Technology

The Gas Lift Valve (GLV) has historically been the component most prone to malfunction and fail-
ure in a gas lift system. Scale, erosion, chattering, and unloading valve bellows fatigue or dome
charge valve leakage, are widely reported causes.

PTC has designed, qualified and incorporated many revolutionary features in our Lift-family GLV’s
that has greatly improved reliability and operational efficiency. These include:
• Proprietary barrier certified orifice and back-check valve system, which is less prone to chat-
tering, and erosive wear of the metal to metal sealing surfaces
• Unique low load rate / long stem travel dual operating bellows type Injection Pressure Operat-
ed (IPO) valves. These valves can be reliably used as operating valves, eliminating the need
for interventions to change lift gas injection depth. The bellows are rated to 12 500 psi and
have been tested to 50 000 full open/close cycles.
• Shear activated GLV’s that allow operators to run multiple valves (unloading and orifice) in the
same completion string and shear them open in one operation.
• Anti-scale valve design providing longevity in scaley environments.

Side Pocket Mandrel Technology

Today, side pocket mandrel ‘s (SPM’s) are the only welded upper completion component. This
introduces a range of QA QC repeatability risks and a number of failures have been reported.

In March 2015, PTC launched the NexLift family of unwelded SPM’s which are machined from
a single piece of steel. These are especially suited to high Cr and Ni alloy applications, where
welding becomes increasingly challenging.

16
GoLift retrofit Gas Lift Straddles

PTC’s GoLift through tubing gas lift straddle system offers a cost effective alternative to work-
overs where there is a need to retrofit new or upgrade existing gas lift systems, without compro-
mising well integrity.

Life of Field Gas Lift Design

Traditionally decisions regarding the optimum number and setting depths of valves in gas lifted
wells have been made considering only a small number of operating scenarios. As a result, wells
often do not perform as expected.

PTC’s unique life of field design process considers a wider range of life-cycle operating con-
ditions and data uncertainties. It therefore provides a more robust design to ensure maximum
production, and reliability over the life of the well.

17
 Barrier series gas lift orifice valves

Unsurpassed reliability and enhanced well integrity

The reverse back-check valve is fully qualified as a barrier, providing a positive

seal between the tubing and casing annulus. The unique check valve design
results in a valve that does not chatter under normal operation.

Challenge
Change out of gas lift valves (GLV) due to valve failures
or non-optimum gas lift design can be costly, especially in
offshore and subsea environments.
Interruption of, or non-optimum gas lifted production
has a negative impact on field economics. Furthermore,
leaking GLV’s often lead to downgrading of the wells
integrity level.
Solution
Petroleum Technology Company´s (PTC) SafeLift and
IsoLift orifice valves have a proprietary orifice and
back-check system, which eliminates chatter and
wear. This design has proven to have unsurpassed
longevity and reliability, which reduces intervention costs.
In addition to the valve geometry, PTC offers a unique
life of field (LOF) gas lift design process, which ensures
optimum design for all phases of the well.

 Injection Pressure Operated (IPO) valve

Unsurpassed reliability and enhanced well integrity.

SafeLift & IsoLift IPO valves employ unique bellows technology, which ensures
reliable operation throughout the life of the field.

Challenge
Unloading valve reliability issues often arise as traditional
bellows systems have major limitations when it comes to
pressure, open & close cycles and temperature. These
effects are more pronounced in deeper, hotter wells.
Solution
PTC has developed a revolutionary dual operating
bellows system that once installed in a gas lift valve can
be charged to more than 12 500 psi. The system is built
such that the stem tip is lifted a full ¼" off the seat during
unloading operation, not a fraction of an inch, which is
typical in the industry. This enables SafeLift & IsoLift IPO
valves to be used as operating valves.

 Tubing pressure activated
gas lift valve

ShearLift-T valves facilitate standard completion operations (annulus/

tubing pressure tests) without the need for a wireline intervention.

Multiple ShearLift-T valves can be opened in a single operation by pressuring up the

tubing.

Challenge
When completing new gas lift wells the standard
practice is often to install dummy valves in all side
pocket mandrels. These dummy valves provide a
barrier between the annulus and the tubing during
the well completion phase. Before the wells can start
producing, the dummy valves need to be replaced with gas
lift valves. These intervention operations are often time
consuming and costly.
Solution
Petroleum Technology Company’s ShearLift-T valve has a
unique design, which utilizes the barrier technology from
the standard SafeLift. The ShearLift-T valve provides a
barrier between the tubing and annulus when installed in
a side pocket mandrel.
The check valve is held in the closed position by a shear
device located in the nose section of the valve. Increasing
the tubing to annulus differential pressure, to a predeter-
mined level, shears open all ShearLift-T (IPO & Orifice)
valves in the tubing string. This allows communication from
annulus to tubing.
Costly change out of dummy valves in new completions
can be avoided by using ShearLift-T.
Features
• A shear system that can be utilized in wells with
multiple GLV´s (IPO & Orifice valves) in the tubing
string
• Act as a dummy valve until shear open
• All ShearLift-T valves open during one operation
• True metal-to-metal back check seal
• Patented shear design
• The check valve design eliminates vibration and
chattering
• Barrier qualified
• Premium metallurgy
• CFD simulations and erosion tested
• Suitable for harsh environments (H2S and CO2)
• Square-Edge, Stealth and Venturi orifices available
Benefits

required prior to production start up
• Best in class reliability and longevity ensures

 Scale resistant barrier qualified
Orifice and IPO gas lift valve

Improved longevity and well integrity in wells with scaling issue.

The DuraLift gas lift valve was designed to operate in wells with scaling issues,
while providing reliable barrier function. The geometry of the valve has a unique
feature that prevents produced fluid that may create scale, from entering the
check-valve area.

Challenge
Failure of gas lift valves as a result of scale deposition
has been an issue that has plagued the industry for
decades. In certain fields GLV´s have to be changed
several times per year.
Interruption of, or non-optimum gas lift assisted produc-
tion will have a negative impact on field economics.
Solution
Petroleum Technology Company’s (PTC) DuraLift has a
unique geometry to ensure that fluid, which could cause
scale deposition does not enter the check-valve area,
both during gas-lift operation or when well is shut in.
Additionally, a special coating has been applied to the flow
wetted parts, both on the GLV and latch, to further reduce
the potential for scale to build.
Qualifications
The DuraLift builds on the same geometry as our
SafeLift series which is used as a well barrier by most
major operating companies. It was designed, built and
tested in accordance to API 19G part 2 and leak tested in
accordance to ISO 14310-V1/V0.

 Chemical Injection Solutions

Solutions for Todays Chemical Injection Challenges

Wells with scale or corrosion issues often require the continuous injection of treatment chemicals.
The most common method employs the use of control lines to place the chemicals at the desired
injection point in the well. Issues associated with the stable flow of chemicals through the control
lines (no u tubing), testing of control lines and well integrity have plagued the industry for decades.

To address these challenges, PTC has developed their SureFlo range of barrier certified chemical
injection systems.

PTC has also developed their own proprietary software to simulate the entire chemical injection
systems performance over the life of the well.

32
Today's Chemical Injection Technology

Chemical injection systems have historically had issues when reservoir pressures fall (are) below
the threshold required to maintain a stable column of chemical injection fluid in the control line. This
U tubing effect is often the root cause of chemical injection system failure. Failure to properly size
the control line based on fluid, hardware and well environment constraints has also been an issue.

 Completion Solutions

Solutions for todays Completion challenges

Today as operators move into more challenging enriornments there is increased pressure to re-
duce costs while improving well integrity and reliability. PTC, founded with the vision to improve
the existing technologies in response to specific client requests has over the years developed
many innovative completion solutions which save money and improve well integrity.

SaveFlo Autonomous Annulus Bleed off System

Annulus pressure build up during well start up or due to leaks or gas venting is common. Annu-
lus pressure, if not managed carefully, can collapse or burst tubular strings, exacerbate integrity
issues or damage ESP cable (ED). Effective bleed off rate control using subsea or dry tree
valves is almost impossible and requires human intervention.

PTC’s SaveFlo bleed off valve provides automatic pressure relief with bleed off rate control.
SaveFlo is installed and run as an integral part of the tubing sting. It will be set up to open and
close at predetermined annulus to tubing pressure differentials, allowing annulus pressure vent-
ing into the tubing.

Annular Safety Valve (ASV) Packer

Gas lifted wells typically have a large volume of explosive lift gas contained in the A annulus
of the well. Major damage to the wellhead can result in the uncontrolled escape and ignition of
the lift gas with catastrophic consequences for both personnel and equipment. Designing a re-
trievable ASV packer capable of containing the lift gas over the life of the well has been a major
challenge for the industry.

PTC’s ASV packer features a solid mandrel design with cut to release functionality, providing a
gas tight barrier in an easily retrievable packer.

38
JetLift Artificial Lift Technology
The commonly used well pumping methods (ESP, PCP, Rod Pumping) often suffer short run
life requiring workover, especially in harsher environments ( High deviation, high temperature,
solids production, scale deposition etc). They also tend to gas lock in high GOR wells.

PTC’s JetLift Systems are reliable in all wells including harsh environment wells and can handle
high gas fractions.

Water Injection Valves

Water injection wells with damaged tubing or no requirement for SSSVs must still maintain a
barrier against reservoir inflow. Cost effective systems that can be retrofitted to producing wells
are almost nonexistent.

PTC’s WIVs feature metal to metal seals tested in accordance with ISO 10432 leakage rates for
SSSVs. The valves are designed to be cost effective and easy to retrofit when run on wireline
locks or bridge plugs.

39
 Bleed Off Valve

Downhole Autonomous Annulus

Pressure Management System

Safe and controlled bleed off of the annulus pressure.

SaveFlo was designed to operate in wells where annulus pressure build up needs
to be vented in controlled manner. The field proven and barrier accredited design
provides a simple and cost effective way to protect tubular strings and ESP cables.

Challenge
Annulus pressure build up during well start up or
due to leaks or gas venting is common. Annulus
pressure, if not managed carefully, can collapse or burst
tubular strings, exacerbate integrity issues or damage ESP
cable (ED). Effective bleed off rate control using subsea
or dry tree valves is almost impossible and requires
human intervention.
Features
• Autonomous open and close function
• Tubing mounted
• Adjustable bleed off rate
• Barrier qualified back check valve (tubing to casing)
• PTC Dual Bellows operated open and close function

Benefits
Solution • Protects casing and tubing from bust and collapse
Petroleum Technology Company’s (PTC) SaveFlo bleed • Protects annular elastomers from explosive
off valve provides automatic pressure relief with bleed off decompression
rate control. SaveFlo is installed and run as an integral
part of the tubing sting. It will be set up to open and close
at predetermined annulus to tubing pressure differen-
tials, allowing annulus pressure venting into the tubing.
The open/close functionality is achieved using PTC’s high
reliability dual bellows syetem. A Well barrier accredited
check valve prohibits tubing to annulus flow and the shear
module facilitates annulus pressure testing.

PTC’s proprietary in-house simulation software models

the set up parameters and subsequent testing of every
system validates functionality.

Retrofit artificial lift system with Enhanced Well Integrity

Jet Pumps are widely recognised as one of the most flexible and reliable well
pumping methods. An integral flow control valve, now addresses a previously
recognised drawback.

Challenges
The commonly used well pumping methods (ESP, PCP,
Rod Pumping) often suffer short run life requiring work-
over, especially in harsher environments ( High deviation,
high temperature, solids production, scale deposition etc).
They also tend to gas lock in high GOR wells.
Tubing to annulus communication can occur when the
power fluid is not being pumped. This breaches the well
management policy of many OPCO’s.
Features
• Jet Pump contains no moving parts
• Installed / retrieved using wireline
• Power fluid delivered to pump via the annulus
• Treating chemicals can be added to the power fluid
• Production delivered via the tubing
• Integral power fluid controlled flow control valve
• User friendly design software

User friendly jet pumped well simulation software is also Benefits

not readily available to OPCO engineers.
Solution
PTC’s Jet Pump Systems are reliable in all wells
including harsh environment wells and can handle high
gas fractions.
• Reliable lift method
• Ideally suited for harsh environments
• No gas locking at high gas fractions
• Low cost well interventions to install system
• Ideal for temporary lift applications

The system incorporates an integral power fluid

operated flow control valve, located immediately below the
pump. It closes when the power fluid pressure is bled off.
Consequently the possibility of tubing to annulus flow
when the well is not being jet pumped is eliminated.

User friendly well performance simulation software is

freely accessible via our website.
