COMPLETION OFF RIGHT

SmartStart PLUS® Time Delay Test + Frac Valve is a time delayed pressure-activated sliding sleeve that eliminates the need for tubing-conveyed perforating when completing the toe stage of horizontal wells. This allows the operator to meet maximum casing pressure test requirements.

Checklist

Key Features:


  • Optional Time Delay setting of 15,30,45, or 60 minutes allows operator to exceed regulatory casing integrity test requirements.

 

  • Improves efficiencies further by operating two or more tools and fracture the first stage of the well.

 

  • Port Jettings while highly overbalanced, improves injectivity to formation

Additional Features:

  • One piece Mandrel design provides a very robust tool design that withstands burst pressures in excess of 20,000 psi.

 

  • Opening sequence is controlled by a fit for purpose Rupture Disc that is designed to resist plugging or bridging at the membrane.

 

  • Mandrel design helps maintain casing string integrity and yield torque ratings. The tool can be "through torqued" onto the casing string for ease of make up.

 

  • Available with blanked ends for ease in matching any number of today's high torque casing connections.

 

  • Exceeds all safety and environmental standards.

The GEODynamics SmartStart PLUS® Time Delay Test + Frac Valve provides the operator with an initial point to break down the formation and establishes a pump-in port for use in long horizontal completions. The device is comprised of an Opening Piston and a Fluid Metering Chamber. This Metering Chamber allows adequate time for two or more of these devices to be actuated prior to the opening of the valve. In addition, this delay sequence between activation of the device and actual opening of the ports allows time for the operator to reach a predetermined casing test pressure. The SmartStart PLUS® Time Delay Test + Frac Valve Tools are run as an integral part of the casing string and may be utilized in both cemented and un-cemented well bores. The actuating pressure for this device is controlled by a special rupture disc. Upon reaching the actuation pressure, there is a lapse of approximately fifteen or thirty minutes before opening. Opening the SmartStart PLUS® Time Delay Test + Frac Valve Toe Valves at maximum casing test pressures dramatically improves connectivity to the formation.
