The 400 series of the Trident MLE with 4 AWG conductor has the same OD as the Maximus system. The
Trident MLE with 1 AWG conductor has a 61⁄4-in [16-cm] overall OD at the thickest point, which meets the
requirement for high-horsepower applications in 75⁄8-in [19-cm] and larger casings. The OD of the motor
head is also compatible with dual-pod ESP completions in 95⁄8-in [24-cm] and larger casings, with both
systems enclosed in 75⁄8-in individual pods.

By securing the leads tightly within the OD of the system, the Trident MLE ensures that cables and
pothead connectors are protected from mechanical impact and damage while the system is being lowered
in the well.

■ Isolation sleeves
The tool is automatically closed by the flow produced by the downhole
pump. The diverter, which starts off the flow path of the pump, will hinge
over and seal off the bypass tubing. The pressure generated by the pump
will keep the diverter closed while the pump is running.

The diverter can be locked in the open position by landing a logging plug
into the nipple below, which extends up into the Y-tool and prevents the ESP system
diverter from closing. This allows logging to be performed while the pump
is running.

Additionally, no access to the wellbore is required to switch between the


upper and lower ESPs. Simply stopping one ESP and starting the other will
cause the diverter to switch positions, allowing production from which-
ever ESP is required while eliminating fluid recirculation.

Alternative Deployment

Increasing life cycle value


Alternative deployment systems provide a convenient, inexpensive way to
manage wellsite operations. ESPs are often selected as the optimum artificial
lift method but, when run on heavy jointed tubing, their finite run lives
require frequent rig or hoist interventions to replace failed systems. There are
also significant safety and environmental risks associated with heavy well
interventions. Schlumberger’s alternative deployment technologies enable
ESPs to be quickly replaced without a rig or hoist—minimizing operating
expenses and production deferment.

intake and discharge, as well as a bypass valve to allow fluid bypass on
system retrieval.

Shuttle installation procedure


The ZEiTECS Shuttle system is initially installed during a rig-supported
workover in three main phases:
■ The docking station is run to a shallow depth on jointed tubing with
cable banded or clamped to the outside, similar to a conventional
ESP installation
■ The retrievable ESP string with motor connector is assembled
■ The motor connector is lowered through the tubing into the docking
station at surface. The complete ZEiTECS Shuttle system (docking
station and ESP string with motor connector) is then lowered to pump
setting depth.

Ideally, a deep set packer is run below the docking station to extend the run
life of permanent components by keeping the annulus, and thus the power
and control lines, free of corrosive well fluid.

Rigless ESP retrieval and replacement


The retrievable ESP string is quickly unplugged from the docking station
and retrieved in a few hours. A GS tool is lowered on wireline, coiled
tubing, or sucker rod and latched to the retrievable ESP string, which
is then retrieved through the tubing. After service or replacement, the
retrievable ESP string is redeployed using the same means by which it was
pulled. Upon deployment, the motor connector automatically orientates and
connects to the docking station with specially designed alignment petals.

ESP system optimization


Rigless ESP deployment technologies increase the average production
profile and extend the economic cutoff for wells. Since there is no time
wasted waiting on a rig to move to location or hoist up, operators can
benefit from the following production optimizations:
■ A test system deployed to clean up the well or measure reservoir
productivity is upgraded to a system optimized for the well conditions
■ Quicker and more cost-effective responses to ESP failure
■ Options to develop a preventative maintenance program to eliminate
unplanned failures and further increase the average production profile
of the well.

Design and operation


The outdoor SpeedStar MVD VSD features innovative safety and enclosure designs and power section
topology with no moving parts. For input voltages between 3.3 kV and 6.6 kV, the input transformer
section is dry-type convection cooled, with heat dissipated through passive vents at the top of the drive.
The dry-type input transformer is available in sizes up to 13.8 kV with additional high-voltage input
sections. For other voltages, an optional liquid-filled transformer suitable for outdoor installations can
be used for input voltages between 0.38 kV and 34.5 kV. This flexible alternative input voltage design
ensures there is never a need for an additional input transformer to minimize losses, improving system
efficiency.

The SpeedStar MVD VSD is the first MVD with a standard design featuring an integral main isolation
switch for lockout and tagout. The switch includes KIRK® key coordination and precharge circuitry, which
ensures an infinite number of MVD starts while maintaining transformer and overall equipment reliability.
The inverter section power modules are mounted on heat sinks on the back of the unit to dissipate heat to
the atmosphere.

Barrier Series
Designed to meet the challenges of demanding environments
Barrier Series gas lift valves are manufactured using state-of-the-art
technology and corrosion-resistant materials to meet the challenges of
demanding environments, accommodating a variety of critical operating
conditions and pressure ranges. The 13⁄4-in XLift* high-pressure gas lift
system’s IPO gas lift valve and the standard R-20-02 IPO valve enable well
unloading. Multiple models of the XLift system valve and traditional orifice
valves facilitate continuous-flow gas lift operations.

Strict quality, leak-rate, and performance criteria


The positive-sealing check valves are designed qualified to meet strict
quality, leak-rate, and performance criteria as defined by the Statoil TR2385
standard, API 19G2 and ISO 17078-2. With a test pressure rating of 10,000
psi [68,947 kPa], the check valve forms a metal-to-metal barrier between
the tubing and casing annulus that prevents undesired communication or
reverse flow, and mitigates the risks associated with typical gas lift valve
check systems.

Barrier Series gas lift systems extend the capabilities and range of existing gas lift
systems to even the most challenging environments.

MMRG-LTS series has an integral connection extending from the surface
wellhead connection. This standard connection is a 1⁄8-in [3.2-mm] box that
accepts a 1⁄4-in [6.4-mm] OD injection conduit. LTS mandrels are used when
two or more fluids being injected into the well must be kept separate until
they are commingled in the flow stream. In this type of installation, the
LTS mandrel leaves the annulus free for other production uses. In chemical
injection applications, injected chemicals enter the mandrel pocket through
the injection conduit and flow through the chemical injection valve and into
the tubing.

MMRG series mandrels are available in a range of fully traceable materials


and can be heat treated to comply with NACE specification MR0175 for
stress-cracking resistant metallic materials.

nitrogen pressure in the bellows. Injection gas enters
the valve and acts on the effective bellows area. As the
injection gas pressure overcomes the precharged pressure,
the bellows compresses and lifts the stem tip off the seat.
Injection gas then flows through the seat, past the reverse-
flow check valve, and into the production tubing.

APPLICATIONS NOVA* gas lift valves feature a computer-generated flow profile that enables
■ Continuous flow production maximum gas passage with minimal differential across the valve. The NOVA
valve flow regime virtually eliminates any effect of tubing pressure on the gas
BENEFITS
injection rate and stabilizes the gas injection pressure. Stable injection rates
■ Maximizes efficiency
can result in more stable tubing pressure, increased production, and reduced
■ Reduces costs operating expenses.
■ Improves productivity
The NOVA valve series replaces conventional orifice valves that have
FEATURES inherently unstable injection rates because of the effect of tubing pressure.
■ Computer-generated flow profile Even slight variations in the tubing flow regime can lead to wide fluctuations
■ Stabilized, lower injection pressure in the tubing pressure and result in unsteady injection rates, instability, and
slugging.
■ Simple, versatile, field-proven design
Conventional flat-faced orifice valves require an approximately 40% pressure
drop to achieve critical flow; in most cases, operating with such excessive
pressure loss is not practical. NOVA valves achieve critical flow with a pres-
sure drop of 10% or less. Injection rates are constant when operating in the
critical flow regime because the tubing pressure does not affect the injection
volume.

Higher productivity and lower costs are achieved with innovative engineering,
a field-proven design, and the same number of moving parts as a typical
flat-faced gas lift orifice valve. In addition, NOVA valves fit in any existing side
pocket mandrel.

Operation
The NOVA valve uses an orifice venturi check valve for continuous flow
operations. Injection fluid or gas enters through the entry ports and then
flows through the orifice venturi. Injection pressure moves the check valve
off the seat, allowing gas to enter the tubing. Reverse flow pushes the check
valve closed, preventing tubing fluids and pressure from flowing back into the
casing.

For injection of gas from the tubing to the casing annulus, the valve is installed
in a mandrel with a type EC pocket, which has tubing ports between the seal-
bores in the mandrel pocket. Injection gas flows out the bottom of the valve,
through the mandrel snorkel into the casing or tubing annulus.

This line of valves includes 5⁄8-in [15.9-mm] OD J-50 valves,
valve seat design
1-in [25.4-mm] OD J-40 valves, and 11⁄2-in [38.1-mm] OD J-20
valves. The J-50 valves have an integral reverse-flow check
valve while the J-40 and J-20 valves have floating valve seats.
The J-40 and J-20 valves operate with either production
or injection pressure. When used with the appropriate
conventional mandrel and reverse-flow check valve, the
J-40 and J-20 series valves can be used for either tubing or
annular flow.

Port sizes
The port sizes available for the 5⁄8-in OD J-50 valves are 1⁄8, 5⁄32, 13⁄64,
and 1⁄4 in [3.2, 3.9, 5.1, and 6.4 mm].

Port sizes are available for the 1-in OD J-40 valves in 1⁄16-in [1.6-
mm] increments from 1⁄8 to 3⁄8 in [3.2 to 9.5 mm].

Port sizes are available for the 11⁄2-in OD J-20 valves in 1⁄16-in
increments from 3⁄16 to 1⁄2 in [4.8 to 12.7 mm].

Operation
In injection-pressure-operated gas lift applications, injection
gas enters the valve and acts on the effective bellows area. As
injection pressure overcomes the precharged nitrogen pressure
in the bellows, the bellows is compressed and lifts the stem tip
off the seat. Injection gas then flows through the seat, past the
reverse-flow check valve, and into the production conduit.

Conventional Production-Pressure-

or intermittent tubing flow applications. A nitrogen-charged, multi-ply

or injection pressure
This line of valves includes 5⁄8-in [15.9-mm] OD JR-50, 1-in [25.4-mm] OD
■ Integral reverse-flow check valves
JR-40, and 11⁄2-in [38.1-mm] OD JR-20 valves. The JR-50, JR-40, and JR-20
or floating valve seat design
valves have crossover seats that allow production pressure to act on the
bellows. JR-50 valves have an integral reverse-flow check valve. When
used with the appropriate conventional mandrel and reverse-flow check
valve, JR-40 and JR-20 valves can be operated by either production or
injection pressure and used for either tubing or annular flow.

Port sizes
The port size available for the 5⁄8-in OD JR-50 valves is 3⁄32 in [2.3 mm].

The port sizes available for the 1-in JR-40 OD valves are 1⁄8 and 3⁄16 in
[3.2 and 4.8 mm].

The port sizes available for the 11⁄2-in OD JR-20 valves are 1⁄8, 3⁄16,
and 1⁄4 in [3.2, 4.8, and 6.4 mm].

Operation
In production-pressure-operated gas lift applications, production fluid
enters the valve and acts on the effective bellows area. The production
pressure necessary to compress the bellows of JR-50, JR-40, and JR-20
valves is controlled by precharged nitrogen pressure. As production
pressure overcomes the precharged nitrogen pressure in the bellows or the
preset spring force, the bellows is compressed and lifts the stem tip off the
seat. Injection gas then flows through the seat, past the reverse-flow check
valve, and into the production conduit.

The power section of the 1-in OD BP-2 valves has a flow area equivalent to a
■ Floating valve seats 3⁄8-in [9.5-mm] port. The port sizes for the BP-2 pilot section are available in
1⁄16-in [1.6-mm] increments from 3⁄16 to 3⁄8 in [4.8 to 9.5 mm].

The power section of the 11⁄2-in OD CP-2 valves has a flow area equivalent to a
9⁄16-in [14.3-mm] port. The port sizes for the CP-2 pilot section are available in
1⁄16-in increments from 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 in [6.4 to 12.7 mm].

Operation
Injection gas enters the valve pilot section and acts on the effective bellows area.
As injection pressure overcomes the precharged nitrogen pressure in the bellows,
the bellows is compressed and lifts the stem tip off the seat to open the pilot
section. Injection gas then flows through the valve until it overcomes the
preset spring force of the power section. As the power section opens, injection
gas flows through the valve, past the reverse-flow check valve, and into the
production conduit.

■ Reliable ported or dual-bore systems products in tubing strings above and
production packer below a ported or dual-bore production packer.
■ Real-time downhole monitoring with the Conventional or side pocket gas lift mandrels
Phoenix* artificial lift monitoring systems are installed in the upper tubing string. Internal-
gauge mount gas lift mandrels and valves are sized
and installed on the lower tubing string across
the perforated zone. During system operation,
gas is injected down the upper tubing-string
annulus and into the lower tubing string through
the packer to lift the fluid column across the
perforated zone. Liquids then travel to the
surface through the production string.

Monitor lift conditions in real time


The Phoenix system can be installed with the
PerfLift system to monitor liquid encroachment
and differential pressure in the wellbore at the
deepest point of gas injection. The gauge is
placed immediately above the lower-most gas lift
mandrel to provide real-time information that can
be used to optimize production.

The PerfLift system is the only gas lift system with


the proven capability to lift below the packer to the
perforated depth of the well.

Quick turnaround
Production is critical for operators, and Schlumberger is committed to delivering reliable artificial
lift equipment safely and on-time. Each ART center and regional distribution center maintains the
inventory and equipment needed to minimize production downtime for operators while their ESP
systems are being repaired.

Dismantle, inspection, and failure analysis


ESP systems fail for many reasons, and it is critical to understand and address the root causes
of failure to consistently meet and exceed run life and production targets. Expert product failure
analysis is an integral part of the Schlumberger ART center’s continuous improvement philosophy,
and Schlumberger engineers and technicians use sophisticated processes and state-of-the-art
equipment to determine why an ESP component fails and to implement the most effective
mitigation and preventative measures. ART center failure analysis investigations are thorough
and provide specific, practical recommendations to operators.

Best-in-class ESP testing, quality assurance, and quality control


In an effort to eliminate potential costly delays during installation and ensure maximum run life,
Schlumberger maintains a global fleet of calibrated horizontal pumping test systems to hydraulically
test individual components—such as main cable systems, motors, pumps, and sensors—and confirm
that design specifications are met. Schlumberger conducts comprehensive factory acceptance tests
for ESP subsystems and offers additional full system integration testing when recommended.

Schlumberger ESP system integration testing is available at ART center locations in Singapore;
Bartlesville, US; and Inverurie, UK. Each system integration test involves assembling the ESP system
within a fully instrumented test well and running the ESP under rigorous test conditions to validate
component functionality and operation.

Highly trained and experienced ART center technicians


Schlumberger makes substantial investments in employee training to guarantee we have the best
technical staff in the industry. Our technical competency assurance program and standardized
tools, processes, and procedures enable us to deliver high-quality ESP systems that run longer and
maximize production.
