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.

section with the
valves is called the
wellhead tree or
Christmas tree).

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
valves that control flow

Crown valve is used
only when doing wireline

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.
