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 sec-
ondary) 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 todays
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.

Reliable data and continuous monitoring of the annulus with SAP and its outer counterpart is critical
for safe operations. 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 were no optimum solutions to these challenges. PTC have now developed unique
technologies, which fully address the issues. These are now field proven and increasingly adopted by
OPCOs worldwide.

Annulus Pressure Monitoring Technologies

PTC's unique VR Sensor System is installed in the wellhead VR profile. It enables continuous and re-
liable annulus pressure and temperature (P&T) monitoring, thus enhancing well integrity. The system
eliminates the need for wellhead gate valves and instrument flanges. Furthermore, it eliminates the
need and cost associated with human intervention. It is also designed to maintain well integrity even
upon impact or collision.

Annulus Pressure Management Technologies

PTCs 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 Technologies

The integration of PTC's VR sensor, Master Surface Annulus Safety Valve (MSAS) and Field Cabinet
provides a system for autonomous and controlled annulus pressure management. This system, the
A-Pro, can be configured to both autonomous and human intervention modes. The system can be
self-sustained or connected to an external power source.

Gas Lift Solutions
Solutions for today's 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 OPCOs 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 GLVs
that have 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 GLVs 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 scaly environments.

20
www.ptc.no
Side Pocket Mandrel Technology

Today, side pocket mandrels (SPMs) are the only welded upper completion component. This in-
troduces 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 SPMs which are machined from a
single piece of steel. These are especially suited to high Cr and Ni alloy applications, where supe-
rior strength is required

PTC's novel Nexlift-RO series SPM offers innovative design and reduced number of orbital welds.
Utilization of modern manufacturing techniques provides unrivaled quality.

GoLift retrofit Gas Lift Straddles

PTCs 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.

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

SafeLift & IsoLift TM

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, leak-
ing GLVs often lead to downgrading of the wells integrity
level.
Solution
Petroleum Technology Companys (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.

ShearLift-T TM

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 man-
drels. 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 interven-
tion operations are often time consuming and costly.
Solution
Petroleum Technology Companys 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.

DuraLift TM

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 GLVs 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 Companys (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. Ad-
ditionally, 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.

Life of Field Gas Lift Design Tool

Unique proprietary software tool

Unique processes and proprietary software tools, providing optimized design

decisions and equipment specifications

Challenge
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.
A lack of rigor also often exists when checking the suit-
ability of proposed valve set up specifications over the ex-
pected life of well operating conditions. This often means
that injection of all available lift gas at the deepest possible
location cannot be achieved.
Solution
A more rigorous well life-cycle design process is avail-
able, incorporating both Petroleum Experts Prosperand
proprietary Petroleum Technology Company software. It
facilitates the consideration of a wider range of life-cycle
operating conditions and data uncertainties and checks for
life-cycle design resilience.
Benefits
Well reliability is enhanced and life-cycle productivity is op-
timized, this is as a result of:
The impact of design compromises and uncertainties
are addressed to better facilitate informed decisions
regarding valve numbers and depths.

Solutions for Todays Chemical Injection Challenges

Wells with scale or corrosion issues often require the continuous injection of treat-

the chemicals at the desired injection point in the well. Issues associated with the sta-
ble flow of chemicals through the control lines have plagued the industry for decades.

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

Completion Solutions
Solutions for todays Completion challenges
Today as operators move into more challenging enriornments there is increased pressure to reduce
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. 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.

PTCs 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 predeter-
mined annulus pressure, allowing annulus pressure venting 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 retrievable ASV packer
capable of containing the lift gas over the life of the well has been a major challenge for the industry.

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

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.

PTCs 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.
