Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Dual safety valve apparatus is utilized to-automatically shut in one or a pair of producing well zones upon a reduction in control fluid pressure.
  • a tubing hanger is run into the well on a setting tool and supports a dual tubing string when the hanger is set in the well casing.
  • the setting tool is removed and a dual, full opening shutoff valve assembly is run into the well and seats in the tubing hanger.
  • Control fluid pressure supplied from the top of the well holds the shutoff valves open.
  • Each shutoff valve has a full bore opening therethrough in the open position.
  • a shifting tool is operable by fluid pressure to mechanically open the shutoff values and when mechanically opened by the shifting tool, the valves can receive a secondary wireline retrievable shutoff valve operable by control fluid pressure.
  • the dual shutoff valve is retrievable and the tubing hanger is then retrievable by a tstriaiaaleeh.-- .6
