Drill Stem Testing Tools Oil and Gas Well Select Tester Valve
Operation
How to operate the select tester valve.
The select tester valve is a kind of downhole tester valve in
Halliburton type, which is used to drill stem testing operation in
oil well / gas well.
Under normal operating conditions the tool would be run in the well
in the closed position. Once the packer is set, pressure is applied
to the annulus to operate the tester valve.
To operate the select tester valve, the metering cartridge delays
the transmission of this pressure to the bottom side of the power
cartridge. This creates the differential pressure that acts across
the power cartridge area to produce the force necessary to open the
ball.
After a specific time (which is dependent upon bottom hole
conditions and applied pressure), the nitrogen pressure increased
by the amount of pressure applied to the annulus. When the applied
annulus pressure is released to close the ball valve, the metering
cartridge delays the release on this pressure from the nitrogen
section.
At this point differential pressure passes through the power
cartridge and acts across the operating piston area which will move
the operating mandrel up and close the ball valve. To activate the
lock-out feature the normal applied operating pressure is increased
by 1300～1500 psi.
After the nitrogen pressure has been allowed time to stabilize, a
minimum of 10 minutes is required, the annulus pressure is released
