range of tubing sizes seat to ensure exceptional system performance in any well conditions.
I Pressure rating up to 15,000 psi
Each check valve has a tapered ID above the valve seat and a series of
I External slots (bypass grooves) lands and grooves on the OD opposite the tapered ID section. The valve
I Safety screen sub (optional) is slipped into a reamed countersunk check valve port in the mandrel, and
a tapered pin is pressed into the tapered ID, causing controlled expansion
of the lands and grooves. This expansion allows the lands to form an
independent, self-retaining, metal-to-metal seal with the ID of the check
valve port. The result is a positive, reliable, leakproof seal for both liquids DCIN-II chemical injection nipple.
and gases.
Check valve integrity can be verified at any time by applying internal
pressure to the tubing and monitoring this applied pressure in the
injection line.
The DCIN-II is also equipped with external bypass slots that are designed
to accommodate standard sizes of encapsulated hydraulic and/or
electrical lines for intelligent completion applications.
OPERATION
The nipple is made up in the tubing string at the desired chemical
injection point, and a stainless steel chemical injection line is attached
to the nipple with the HDMC connection. The DCIN-II and injection
line are then run to the desired injection depth with the completion.
