Subsurface Safety Valves

This course introduces the purpose, operation, and application of Subsurface Safety Valves. Case studies demonstrate the need for setting the valves at certain depths. Environmental complications encountered in sub-sea installations, arctic conditions, extreme temperatures, and even earthquake-prone regions are covered. Surface and subsurface controlled downhole safety valves are described, accompanied by detailed animations and graphics demonstrating the valves’ operation. Students operate a surface control panel and see the effect of each action downhole.
