The test lasted 72 hours with no shut-ins. The choke opening was gradually increased from 8/64 in to 18/64 in. During this time, the choke withstood pressures ranging from 3,950 psi to 2,875 psi. After the test, the choke valve was removed and subsequently disassembled and thoroughly inspected in the workshop. There were no signs of erosion, corrosion, damage, or wear, even in the lowest part of the seat, which is exposed to the most severe conditions due to high fluid velocities and large debris; the seat and FS trim were in as-new condition. The seals were replaced and the choke valve swiftly returned to service so that production could continue through the flowback tree, a common practice in the Eagle Ford.
