Valve Types

This document discusses different types of valves used in oil and gas production, including: - Gate valves, ball valves, and choke valves which are used on oil wellhead trees from manufacturers like Gray and Cameron. - Safety valves like subsurface safety valves (SSSV) and surface safety valves (SSSV) from manufacturers like Otis, Barber, and AVA that automatically shut off production from the tubing, wellhead, or flowline. - Surface controlled subsurface safety valves (SCSSSV) that are either ball valve or flapper types and can be tubing or wireline retrievable.

Valve Types

Gate valves, Ball valves, & Choke valves.


Gate valve: used on oil producer wellhead tree. (2 manufacturers Gray &
Cameron).
Ball valve: only by Cameron.
Choke valve: 2 designs: one like arrow & the other cylinder with holes.

SSV & SSSV & UG: used to automatically shut off the production
form (tubing below the surface, or wellhead on surface, or flowline).
Different manufacturers: Otis, Barber, and AVA. (some need panel to control
old and other new designs are self contained.

Water Supply
This shows a high
volume water supply
well with an ESP.
Only one valve
because low pressure
and no hydrocarbons
present.

The tree is a series of

Power Water Injector
Option 1: no tubing
spool because there
is no tubing in some
power water injectors.
Option 2: with tubing
spool (no picture)
because they need
tubing and packer in
the injection well.
