Brief of Lock Open Tester Valve

The Lock Open Tester Valve is the kind of full bore tester valve, which is an annulus pressure controlled to operate the ball valve. During the cased hole testing and perforating operations, the lock open tester valve is designed to allow multiple cycles .The tester valve is fully balanced to annulus pressure and will be kept in the closed position while tripping in hole. 

Specification of the downhole tester valve

Application of the Lock Open Tester Valve

* Made of the alloy steel, the Lock Open Tester Valve is applied for standard well testing operation, work in H2S above 175^oF according to NACE MR0175.

* Made of the Inconel steel, the Lock Open Tester Valve is applied for full H2S well testing operation.

* Tubing perforating opeation.

* Well flow testing operation.

Operation of the Lock Open Tester Valve

The lock open tester valve is designed with a spring loaded normally closed ball valve.The spring force holds the ball valve in the closed position, and the lock open tester valve is opened and kept open by applying additional pressure to the annulus. When applied annulus pressure is released, the ball valve will be closed. Fluid at hydrostatic pressure is trapped behind the nitrogen chamber acting against a piston, compressing the nitrogen to hydrostatic pressure. The nitrogen then acts against the lower piston, the same hydrostatic pressure that is acting against the lower piston is also passing through pressure ports, located in the upper outer housing acting against the upper piston. Both the upper and lower piston have the same cross-sectional area, thus keeping the ball valve balanced

Techcore insist on the traceability of each Drill stem testing tools and related DST parts  from the raw

material to the finished products to meet on requirements of onshore and offshore standards.

All the raw materila will be test by SGS at the thrid party testing lab, SGS made the mark and keep the traceability of each DST tools parts.

The drill stem testing tools are applied in cased hole, open hole and slim hole, the main DST tool string includes RTTS packer, circulating valve, safety joint, select tester valve, omni valve, hydraulic jar, shock absorber, RD safety circulating valve, high pressure retrievable packer with bypass, IPO valve, tubing string test valve, and so on.
