Interventek Subsea Engineering has signed a two year exclusive deal with Louisiana based Professional Rental Tools LLC (PRT) to supply its innovative in riser Revolution valve for well intervention operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Interventek will supply its 6.375” 15,000psi valves to PRT this summer.
Interventek’s Revolution shear and seal valve will be used to enhance PRT’s existing subsea systems offering. The PRT Subsea Spanner Joint System interfaces with the rig BOPs, subsea tree vendor tubing hanger running tool (THRT) and downhole functions during installation, workover or removal of subsea completions. The system is designed for deep water and high working pressure applications. The addition of the Revolution valve enables the user to cut wire or coiled tubing introduced into the well and provides a seal from below after the cut. The valve also offers pump through capability to facilitate well kill operations.
Interventek’s Revolution valve has multiple well control applications. In a single compact device the valve uniquely provides the capability to quickly and reliably cut all types of intervention media whilst protecting the integrity of its seal. The technology uses separate cutting and sealing components so that the seal is never compromised.
