Well unloading valve for petrochemical well tubing
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11851988B2) discloses a well unloading valve designed for petrochemical well tubing. The valve includes a flow passage connecting the annulus outside the tubing with the inside of the tubing, a lock-out sleeve that can be closed by hydraulic pressure, an electrically activated motor module for moving a seal to open a hydraulic connection, and a check valve for controlling the flow direction between the annulus and tubing. Additionally, the valve features a bi-directional sealing device, a shearing device for actuation, and a spring for biasing the sealing device to the open position.
The operation method of the well unloading valve involves electrically activating the motor module to move the seal, open the hydraulic connection, apply hydraulic pressure to close the lock-out sleeve, and ultimately close the flow passage. Prior to these steps, predetermined pressure is applied to the tubing, the shearing device is activated, and the sealing device is moved to the open position to allow fluid flow. The method also includes sensing the fluid temperature and elapsed time to initiate the motor module activation. The check valve within the flow passage ensures the proper flow direction, allowing fluid from the annulus into the tubing while blocking flow in the opposite direction. Overall, the patented well unloading valve and its method of operation aim to efficiently control fluid flow in petrochemical well tubing using a combination of hydraulic and electrical mechanisms.
