Video GeoGuard Safety Valves: Superior Reliability at Extreme Depths
Patented seal technology and stringent qualification enable the valves to exceed API Spec 14A requirements.
Our API Spec 14A–certified SSV portfolio offers operational flexibility to overcome any challenge in the industry. Multiple actuation options are available for shallow-set, deepset, and ultradeepset applications.
Standard spring valves are suitable for shallow-set (100 ft below the surface or mudline) and deepset (up to 6,000-ft TVD) applications. These valves use actuation systems that are tubing-pressure sensitive and remain fail-safe closed without requiring tubing-pressure assist in closure.
For deepset (6,000- to 10,000-ft TVD) and ultradeepset (beyond 10,000-ft TVD) applications, both balanced-line and nitrogen-charged hydraulic actuation systems are available. These unique systems are tubing-pressure insensitive, so they can be operated at pressures below tubing pressure while remaining fail-safe closed.
