Interventek Subsea Engineering has awarded a sole license for its new surface well intervention valve to international energy services specialist, Hunting. The product will join Hunting’s pressure control equipment portfolio and will be called the Ezi-Shear Seal.
The valve is equipped with Interventek’s ‘Revolution’ technology and provides a compact, reliable and fast mechanism for the shearing of slickline, wireline, and coiled tubing to isolate or seal the wellbore. It also offers a cutting and sealing capability for standard, offshore or high-pressure applications, where an additional level of pressure barrier contingency is required.
The compact design allows for deployment through a standard offshore intervention hatch cover, negating the need to remove main hatch covers. Its use also reduces heavy lifting and potential shutting in of adjacent producing wells.
