OMNI
Te OMNI DT circulating valve is a next-generation annulus pressure-operated,
recloseable circulating valve.
Te OMNI DT circulation was designed and tested to be more debris tolerant than previous
recloseable circulating valves. Te OMNI DT valve consists of a nitrogen section, an oil system,
a circulating valve, and a ball valve. Troughout the operation, the tool is repeatedly cycled up to
a predetermined annulus pressure and then released. Te nitrogen section contains the nitrogen
gas that counterbalances the hydrostatic and annulus pressures. Te amount of nitrogen in the tool
depends on well hydrostatic conditions (mud weight and depth) and downhole temperature. Tis
information must be known to properly prepare the tool for running in. Te OMNI DT circulating
valve is a next-generation annulus pressure-operated, re-closeable circulating valve.

Note that for certain completion fuids, the mud weight at the surface can be signifcantly
diferent from the actual mud weight downhole.
Te operating and control mechanisms are contained in a closed oil system activated by annulus
pressure acting on the nitrogen chamber, allowing an unlimited number of pressure cycles.
Te circulating valve and the ball valve work together to keep circulating pressure of the formation.
Te ball valve will close before the circulating valve opens. Te ball valve closes of the work string.
Features and Benefits
Permits well testing, pressure testing, and fuid circulation
Allows unlimited number of pressure cycles
Operation
Te well can be fow tested when the valve is in the well test position. When in this position, the circulating
ports are closed and the ball valve is opened. During a downhole closure drillstem test, the OMNI valve is in
the well test position during fow and shut-in periods. Te work string can be pressure-tested in the blank
position because the ball valve closes before the circulating valve opens. Fluid can be pumped in either
direction through the tool in the circulating position. Te tool does not require any specifc fow rate
to operate. In this position, the circulating ports are open and the ball valve is closed.
Before the tool is run, the hydrostatic pressure at the specifed tool depth must be known.
Tis information is required to obtain the proper nitrogen charging pressure.

Meets NACE-0175 requirements (>175F / 79C).
Maximum Diferential Operating Pressures for 5-in Tools:
From bottom of the ball when opening: 2,000 psi (13.8 MPa)
From top of the ball when opening: 5,000 psi (34.5 MPa)
For operating the circulating ports: 6,000 psi (41.4 MPa) OD to ID (annulus to tubing)
0 psi (0 MPa) ID (tubing to annulus)
Maximum Diferential Operation Pressures 7-in. tool:
From bottom of the ball when opening: 1,000 psi (6.90 MPa)
From top of the ball when opening: 2,500 psi (17.24 MPa)
For operating the circulation ports: 2,500 psi (17.24 MPa) OD to ID (annulus to tubing)
0 psi (0 MPa) ID to OD (tubing to annulus)
* Service temperature up to 450F (232C) (dressed with high-temperature O-rings and backup seals)
** Te values of tensile, burst, and collapse strength are calculated with new tool conditions, Lames formulas with Von-Mises
Distortion Energy Teory for burst and collapse strength, and stress area calculations for tensile strength.
*** Pressure rating is defned as the diferential pressure at the tool. (Diferential pressure is the diference in pressure between
the casing annulus and the tool ID.)
Tese ratings are guidelines only. For more information, consult your local Halliburton representative.
