Landing Nipples * Small sub into which flow-control devices can be installed * ID slightly smaller that tubing ID * Seating area for pump-down and wireline flow-control devices * ID's vary according to the tools they receive * Larger ID’s used near the surface than at bottom to allow tools with different ID’s to be set in the same string * Usually have a locking device to hold the tool in place Oil and Gas Technology ProgramSeating nipples * Provide a place in which flow- control devices can be installed and retrieved by wireline * Can be used to set: * Blanking plugs for shutting in the well or testing the tubing string * Circulating blanking plugs * Equalizing check valves + Velocity-type safety valves * Chokes to reduce surface flowing pressures * Instrument hangers for pressure ro temperature recorders Oil and Gas Technology Program
