Type of Gas Lift Valve

Dummy Valve

Production Pressure Operated Valve

Gas Lift Valves

Injection Pressure Operated Valve

Pilot Valve

Dummy Valve
Installed in SPM as a nonequalizing isolation tool To blank off the tubing for production until gas lift valves are required To remove dummy valve, we used standard wireline retrieval method

Injection Pressure Operated Valve

Dome is charged to a specified pressure by using Nitrogen The bellow serves as a flexible or responsive element Not using spring, depend on the pressure in the dome Buildup of injection pressure open the port, a reduction in injection pressure close it

Production Pressure Operated Valve

The port is exposed to the injection pressure The bellow is exposed to the production pressure Double element valve The dome of this valve maybe charged or not charged by nitrogen. Depends on the condition

Pilot Valve
Normally used to kick-off or unload the well (intermittent) It has both small port to control the spread and large port to ensure efficient gas flow
