Peak Family flow-activated safety valve

Cost-effective insert safety device

Overview

The flow-activated safety valve (FASV) of Peak Family™ flow control and well intervention tools is a cost‑effective insert safety device to run below any suitable lock mandrel or nippleless retrievable bridge plug of the SIM™ sealing integrity management system.

Applications

When surface communication is no longer available between the surface control panel and the tubing-retrievable, surface-controlled subsurface safety valve

In high-flow-rate wells

For shallow or deepset applications

Benefits

Streamlined deployment on slickline
Compatibility below any lock mandrel or SIM system retrievable bridge plugs
Safer, nitrogen-free operation
Optimized flow path for less turbulence

Features

Carbide choke design
Threaded connections to suit most applications
All surfaces treated to 55 Rockwell C hardness to resist erosion
Metal-to-metal flapper seal
Integral equalizing device

How It Works

The FASV is deployed with the flapper valve in the open position, and the valve closes once the velocity of produced fluids across the internal choke exceeds a predetermined value defined by the choke size. Chokes are supplied in ¹⁄₆₄‑in increments to suit customer requirements. The FASV has an integral device to enable quicker and safer equalization across the closed flapper when no pump or pressure facility is available at the wellhead.
