Back Pressure Valves

Back pressure valves are installed in tubing hangers to hold pressure from below during operations like installing or removing the blowout preventer stack, Christmas tree, or replacing the master valve. The most common types are the Cameron Type 'H' and Petroline 'ABC'. A back pressure valve is set using a special tool and holds pressure from below while allowing flow from above, functioning like a check valve. A two-way check valve that fits in the same profile is used to test the tree and blowout preventer assembly by holding pressure from both directions.

Back Pressure Valve

Back pressure valves are installed in the tubing hanger to hold pressure from below
during the following operations:
• Nipple down and up the drilling BOP stack.
• Nipple up or down Christmas tree.
• Test the Christmas tree (2-way check).
• Replace the master valve.
The most common types of BPV are the Cameron Type ‘H’ BPV and Petroline ‘ABC’. A
BPV is set in a profile provided in the tubing hanger using a special tool and lubricator
assembly for threaded BPV models, or by slickline for profile set models. The BPV holds
pressure from below to isolate well pressure, but allows flow from above to permit killing
of the well if necessary in an emergency, i.e., the BPV functions as a check valve. A two
way check valve is designed to fit the same profile as the BPV. It holds pressure from
both directions while allowing equalization when required and is used to test the tree
and BOP assembly.
