Gas Lift Conventional IPO Valves

Conventional IPO Valves

The conventional Injection Pressure Operated (IPO) gas lift valves are primarily controlled by injection gas pressure. The valves are installed in a side pocket mandrel and used to control injection gas pressure and its flow from either the annulus or tubing based on the porting of the mandrel.

The valve is designed with a sealed chamber and 3 ply bellows that contains a nitrogen charge, which provides the closing force of the valve. When injection gas pressure exceeds the closing force, the bellows compresses, lifting the ball stem off of the seat and allowing gas to be injected through the valve into the producing area.

APPLICATIONS:
For continuous flow or intermittent gas lift, tubing of annular flow applications.

FEATURES/BENEFITS:
• Stainless steel or premium materials available
• Three-ply nickel-copper alloy bellows
• Mechanical stop prevents bellows over stroke
• Bellows dampening fluid to prevent fatigue and stem-seat pounding
• Tungsten carbide ball
• Replaceable floating seat (Tungsten Carbide available)
• Integral reverse flow check valve to prevent casing to tubing flow
• Pressure rating up to 1,800 psi (124 bars) test rack opening pressure
• Integral reverse flow check valve with resilient and metal to metal seals
• Temperature rating of 250° F (121°C) (standard service)
• Standard neoprene packing with other materials available

REVERSE FLOW IPO VALVES

The JM-RF-BK and JM20-RF-R valves are wireline retrievable, reverse flow injection pressure operated gas lift valves used for annular flow. They are primarily controlled by injection gas pressure from tubing to annulus. The valves feature a crossover seat and integral reverse flow check which allows them to be used for annular flow applications when installed in a standard side pocket.

The valve is designed with a sealed chamber and 3 ply bellows that contains a nitrogen charge, providing the closing force of the valve. When injection gas pressure exceeds the closing force, the bellows compresses, lifting the ball stem off the seat and allowing gas to be injected through the valve into the producing area.

APPLICATIONS:
For continuous flow or intermittent gas lift, annular flow applications.

FEATURES/BENEFITS:
• Stainless steel or premium materials available
• Three ply nickel-copper alloy bellows

Waterflood Application - Service company had a project requiring a specific, non-standard length regulator to be installed in existing completions.

"JMI was able to engineer and manufacture the required quantity on time and within the AFE constraints. Fieldwide installation was completed without delays.”

Dump Kill Application - service company requested unique dump kill valve not available from other suppliers.

"JMI designed to specification and manufactured valves to meet our rig schedule. Wells were completed and sheared at desired pressure saving days of rig time.”

Capillary Injection - service company had difficulties matching various CIV nozzles and noses at the wellsite before running in hole.

"JMI provided a well thought out suite of capillary CIV nozzles and noses that could be easily changed out on wellsite as we changed the work program.”
