TRSV Lock Out Tool Data Sheet
TRSV Lock Out Tool Data Sheet
The NOV TRSV Lock-Out Tool (LOT) is wireline deployed accessory tool designed to permanently lock-open
tubing retrievable downhole safety valves that are no longer fully functional. Once the safety valve is locked
open, a separate Communication Tool can be used to establish hydraulic communication and facilitate the
insertion of a wireline deployed, hydraulically controlled, secondary safety valve.
The LOT is deployed with standard wireline equipment (spang jar and weight bars) until it lands on the “no-go”
shoulder within the safety valve. Mechanical jarring locates dogs within the safety valve internal lock profile and
expands another set of dogs above the flow tube. Continued jarring compresses the power spring and drives
the flow tube and flapper into the fully opened position. All power spring compression and flow tube movement
is captured with internal ratchets during the operation. Once the safety valve is fully open, continued jarring
permanently deforms the flow tube below the square face of the hydraulic chamber housing preventing the flow
tube from moving back into the closed position. Additional jarring collapses the tool for recovery.
The LOT is a simple, proven, and robust accessory tool for permanent safety valve lock-open operations. It does
not require fluid within the well or additional wellbore hydraulic pressure to successfully function. The tool design
removes all lock-open specific features within the safety valve, ultimately increasing the long-term reliability by
