Valve Types: - Gate Valves, Ball Valves, & Choke Valves

This document discusses various types of valves used in oil and gas production, including: gate valves used on oil wellhead trees, ball valves only used by one manufacturer for injection wells, and choke valves that come in two designs. It also mentions safety valves like subsurface safety valves (SSSVs) and surface safety valves (SSSVs) from different manufacturers that are used to automatically shut off production. Surface controlled subsurface safety valves can be 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.

Safety Valves Subsurface &


Surface

SCSSSV or SSSV
Surface controlled
sub surface safety
valves are either ball
valve type or flapper
type.
They can be either
tubing retrievable or
wireline retrievable

Wellheads
Shown here is the
wellhead of an oil
producer (note the
section with the
valves is called the
wellhead tree or
Christmas tree).

WELLHEAD

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

Wellhead Tree
The tree is a series of
valves that control flow
from the well and allow
access to the well
Crown valve is used
only when doing wireline
or coiled tubing work
Wing valve controls flow
The master valve is last
line of defense

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.
