Description

The TRAC-4-STD-P safety valve is tubing retrievable and hydraulically controlled

from the surface through an external control line. The control line extends from the
safety valve to the surface. This valve is designed for use in annular control systems
and in applications in gas bypass for gas lifting. The main use of the TRAC-4-STD-P is
to provide control of the annulus.
This particular design has an additional feature. A 1/4" control line may be routed
through the valve to enable hydraulic/electrical communication from above to below
the AC system. The valve must be used in conjunction with a specially designed HAP
packer to allow this communication.
This safety valve is a normally closed valve. The helical compression spring forces a
set of pistons and a flow tube upward, allowing the flow tube to close and seat.
When hydraulic pressure is applied from the surface through the control line, the set
of pistons and the flow tube are forced downward. Loss of hydraulic fluid pressure
in the control line allows the power spring to close the valve. Since Camco directly
links the pistons to the flow tube assembly, the force created by the annular pressure
acting on the area of the pistons will be added to the power spring force to lift the
flow tube to the fully closed position. Although an advantage, do not consider this
feature when calculating fail-safe setting depth.

Features and Benefits

• Industry preferred rod piston actuation

• Large, straight-through bore
• Large annular flow area
• Additional hydraulic/electrical line by-pass and cutter mechanism
• Isolation of tubing flow from annular flow at the valve
• Available in straight-pull release option

valve may then be retrieved.
Valve Closing Procedure
Follow these steps to close or test the safety valve:
1. Record the hydraulic control line pressure and
isolate the control system from the well to be
tested.
2. Shut off the injection gas flow.
3. Bleed the hydraulic control line pressure to
close the safety valve. Allow sufficient time to
assure valve closure. Confirmation of valve
closure is made by venting the annular pressure
to zero gauge pressure.
Note:
Note The fail-safe design of surface controlled
subsurface safety valves with single control lines
may be tested by bleeding the control line pressure
to the casing pressure. At this pressure, the safety
valve should be closed.
Opening pressures may vary slightly from valve to
