Down Hole Flow Control
Side Door Sleeve SDS is used together tubing which when open, allows flow between the well tubing and the annular area. Which can be opened or closed by standard slickline methods to gain communication between the tubing/casing annulus. It is designed with a landing nipple profile in the top sub, packing bores in both the top and bottom sub, and a non-elastomer seal package and with full tubing flow through the nipple and the sleeve.
This circulation & production sleeve is installed as an integral part of the main tubing string and any number of pieces can be run in a single tubing string. It can be run in either the open or closed position. The closing sleeve may be placed in three positions: open, equalizing, or closed. This operation is done with a positioning tool attached to a standard slickline tool string.
Features and Benefits
• Nipple profile available
• Non-elastomer seals
• Polished pack off area
• Circulation/production area equals the tubing area
• Several pieces of equipment can be run in a single tubing string
• All the pieces can be shifted on a single trip of the slickline, and individual sleeves can also be opened or closed selectively as desired
• Inner sleeve can be shifted repeatedly, opens up or down
• Packing does not move when the sleeve is shifted
• The sleeve can be kept in full open, equalizing or full closed position by three-position collet lock
• Equalizing ports in the inner sleeve allow equalizing at high differential pressure
Application
• Circulating completion or kill fluids
• Single selective production and injection completions
• Tubing pressure test by running a plug inside
• Washing above packer

The Chemical Injection System is designed to inject and control the amount of chemicals or fluids into the tubing to control corrosion in wells, treat paraffin, salt and/or hydrate formation. Which can optimize flow assurance, reduce expensive intervention costs, and ultimately optimize production. The system includes Chemical Injection Mandrel (CIM) and Chemical Injection Valve (CIV). The chemicals or fluids are injected through a control line from surface. The check valve in CIV provides absolute protection for the check valves during installation in the well and provides a barrier between the production tubing and the annulus.
Features and Benefits
• Optimize flow assurance and production performance
• Reduce costly intervention
• CIM are eccentric non-welded mandrels, can absorb shock without damage
• CIV with check valve and rupture disc feature
• Land Nipple profile is available
Gas Lift Mandrel (GLM), which made up as part of the tubing string when preparing a well for gas lift production, chemical injection, waterflood or other special applications. Facilitates the operation of running tools, pulling tools and kickover tools that are used to install and retrieve the flow control devices.
Features and Benefits
• Field proved reliable
• Heat treated for two different types of service, sweet, and H2S service
• Accept standard 1” top and bottom latch equipment &〔
• Designed with a round cross section and are available in a -
variety of tubing sizes and thread types
Gas lift valve (GLV) is slickline retrievable, designed to be installed in series side pocket mandrel, production pressure operated and be used in continuous flow gas lift installations. The valve is used to enhance production by injecting high-pressure gas from the casing/tubing annulus into the production fluid.
Dummy Valve (DV) is slickline retrievable, and designed to be installed in series side pocket mandrel. The Dummy Valve is available for standard or high-temperature service to suit individual well conditions. Multi-purpose tool used to blank off the mandrel pocket to allow production by natural flow before installing gas lift valves, blank off the side pocket mandrel to allow pressure to be applied to the tubing to set a hydraulic-set packer and isolate tubing flow from annular flow for test purposes during multi-point waterflood or gas injection.
Landing Nipple and Lock Mandrel
Landing nipples are down hole components, fabricated as a short section of heavy wall tubular with a machined internal surface that provides a seal area and a locking profile. The Landing Nipples are included in most completions at a pre-determined intervals to enable the installation of flow-control devices, such as Plugs and Chokes.
Three basic types of Landing Nipples are commonly used: No-Go Nipples, Selective-Landing Nipples and Ported Safety Valve Nipples. The Landing Nipples have the same Packing Bore ID for a particular tubing size and weight. 'LNX' and 'LNXN' Landing Nipples are designed for use with standard weight tubing. ‘LNR' and ‘LNRN' Landing Nipples are for heavy weight tubing. The 'N' designation is for No-Go Nipples.
The completion can have as many LNX and LNR selective nipples with the same ID in any sequence as desired on the tubing string. This versatility result in an unlimited number of positions for setting and locking subsurface flow controls. The flow control, which is attached to the required lock mandrel, is run in the well via the selective running tool on the slickline.
Features and Benefits
• Large bore for minimum restriction
• Universal nipple with one internal profile
• Lock mandrel locks design to holds pressure from above and below
• Extra large ID for high flow rate
• Simple operation
• Versatility helps reduce completion and production maintenance costs
• Multiple options when running, setting, or retrieving subsurface flow controls
• Field proven
• Versatility helps reduce completion and production maintenance costs
Applications
• Gauge hangers for bottom hole pressure/temperature surveys
• Almost unlimited locations for setting and locking subsurface flow controls
• Lock Mandrel with plugs holds pressure from above and below
• Setting packers
• Killing the well
• Removing the wellhead

Flow couplings are thick-walled tubular components normally utilized in completions and located adjacent to changes in the tubing ID. They are an important part of life-of-the-well completion planning and used where erosional turbulence caused by changes in the tubing ID. We recommends flow couplings to be installed above and below landing nipples, safety valve landing nipples or any other restrictions that may cause turbulent flow. Flow couplings are generally connection OD and are available in 3, 4, 6 and 8 ft lengths.
Features and Benefits
• Wall thickness greater than tubing and normal connection OD
• Available in various lengths
• Available in various materials
• Helps extend the life of the well completion
• Installed above and below landing nipples, safety valve landing nipples or any other restriction that may cause turbulent flow
