Surface Safety Valve Ps

Surface Safety Valve
Fail-safe gate valve for testing wells with

high flow rates, high pressures, or H2S
Applications
Testing oil and gas wells with high flow

rates, high wellhead pressures, or the
presence of H2S
Wells with hazard operational analysis
needing a surface pressure barrier in
addition to the primary ormaster valve
Benefits
Prevent overpressure conditions

on downstream equipment
Provide immediate well closure in the
event of downstream equipment failure
Ensure reliable shut-in during harsh
environment operations
Reduce personnel exposure
in emergencies
Comply with environmental regulations
and reduce environmental risk
Features
Fail-safe remote activation and automatic well closure when loss of control
pressure occurs
Double metal-to-metal seals for
reliability in harsh environments
Surface safety valve.
Normally equipped with hammer

unions, but can be fitted with Grayloc
or API-6A flanges
The surface safety valve (SSV) is a hydraulically actuated fail-safe gate valve for testing oil and
gas wells with high flow rates (>8,000 bbl/d [>1,280 m3/d] or 30,000,000 ft3/d [>850,000 m3/d]), high
pressures (>5,000 psi [>34 MPa]), or the presence of H2S. The SSV is used to quickly shut in
the well choke manifold upstream in the event of overpressure, failure, a leak in downstream
equipment, or any other well emergency requiring an immediate shut-in.
Compliance with API-6A (PSL-2 or 3,

PR2), H2S (NACE MR0175), and
Fluid Class DD specifications
The SSV is remotely operated by an emergency shutdown device (ESD), which can be triggered
automatically by high- or low-pressure pilot actuators. If an emergency occurs, this feature
reduces the possibility of personnel injuries.
A number of SSV models are available for different well conditions (pressures, temperatures,
and flow rates) and with various connections, such as Grayloc or API-6A flanges. All SSV
models have interchangeable crossover connections and are protected by a compact,
removable lifting frame.
The SSV uses a proven metal-to-metal, double-sealing design for harsh environment operations
and complies with all applicable environmental requirements. All SSVs are manufactured under
Type Approval or Design Verification Review and provided with a Certificate of Conformity and
full quality file.
