Gas lift valve with dual fortress seal
11242732 · 2022-02-08 ·

A GLV-gas lift valve that uses dual “Fortress™” seals on both sides of the bellow 19 to protect said bellow from both high dome pressure 3 acting against outside bellow surface and high injection pressure acting against bellow 19 internal surface. When valve is in closed position, after dome pressure 3 is applied, upper-dome side “Fortress™” seal is engaged and prevents high dome pressure reaching said bellow 19 external surface. When valve is in fully open position, when injection pressure 14 is applied, lower seal 10 is engaged and prevents access of high injection pressure into bellow acting against bellow internal surface. This principle allows much higher pressures to be applied in valve dome section and injection section by reducing differential pressure across the bellow 19. In addition, lower “Fortress™” seal allows very high injection pressure 14 more than 10 KSI to be applied without damage to bellow or gas lift valve components.

FOAM DELIVERY SYSTEM

A stillwell/siphon system may be attached or integrated into a foam delivery bucket. When pouring foam additive into the bucket, foam/bubbles may form in the foam additive. The stillwell may fill from the bottom to prevent the foam/bubbles from getting inside the stillwell tube so one can easily ascertain the level of foam in the container. The stillwell also blocks air pockets, formed from pouring foam into the container, from entering the outlet tube, which is positioned inside the stillwell.

Injection pressure operated gas lift valve and methods of use

An IPO gas lift valve. The IPO gas lift valve may include a dome assembly, a bellows system coupled to the dome assembly, a valve assembly, and a check valve assembly coupled to the valve assembly. The bellows system may include a liquid-filled scaled chamber, a piston positioned within the sealed chamber and dividing the sealed chamber into a dome side and a valve side, a first bellows assembly positioned within the dome side of the sealed chamber, and a second bellows assembly positioned within the valve side of the sealed chamber. The valve assembly may be operable to shift the IPO gas lift valve between an open position and a closed position.
