Restore oil and gas wells and recover production after a safety valve failure

With the decline in number of operating wells in recent years due to shut-in or temporary plugging, restoration is crucial to return this well stock to operation or risk permanent abandonment.

The GEM-Valve retrievable wireless subsurface safety valve system helps operators restore wells and resume production after an SSSV failure in

GEM-Valve system enables remediation without relinquishing control of subsurface safety shut-in equipment via wireless surface control of the valve, allowing reliable and regulatory compliant production of oil and gas wells.

Installed as a temporary safety valve solution, the system eliminates production deferral while workover intervention planning and sourcing activities take place. Installed as a permanent solution, it eliminates significant workover repair and recompletion costs, which might not be justifiable for old producing wells in mature fields.

Controlled to stay open from surface, the GEM-Valve safety valve system is largely tolerant to downhole flow and pressure variations, which are responsible for frequent undesired valve closures of alternative remediation solutions such as subsurface-controlled safety valves.

Fully certified grade V3 plugs provide a debris-tolerant retrievable barrier with no nipple profile needed. View
