A novel approach using computational fluid dynamics techniques provides a way for determining the characteristics of gas passing through a gas-lift valve. In the method, CFD calculations numerically ...

Identify components to test: casing head, tubing head, tree body, master/swab/wing valves, chokes, flanged connections, annulus outlets, VR plug threads. Define barriers: primary (tree + tubing hanger ...

Check valves are installed in many piping systems. Their purpose is to allow flow in only one direction, which can be critical for plant safety and to protect equipment from damage. There are a few ...
