Safety Valves

Reliability when it really counts

Subsurface safety valves are an integral part of the well completions that protect production installations against uncontrolled flow from producing wells in case of catastrophic damage to wellhead equipment.

Our surface-controlled subsurface safety valves use the innovative rod piston hydraulic-actuation system developed by Schlumberger. All valve series contain a rugged, metal-to-metal INCONEL flapper closure mechanism, together with a secondary soft seal, and meet leakage-acceptance criteria substantially more stringent than API and ISO specifications.

Critical to the durability and reliability of safety valves are appropriate valve design, material, and selection. We offer multiple valve styles, ranging from basic to the most technologically advanced designs available in the industry.

Approximately 44% of these 500 safety valves are set in deep or ultradeep water.

Safety valve in Gulf of Mexico well provides operating redundancy, well integrity, and long-term reliability at a depth previously unattainable.
