15 BALANCE PORTED VALVE ADVANTAGES
MAXIMUM INJECTION PRESSURE - OPTIMUM DEPTH OF INJECTION. EFFICIENT AND PREDICTABLE GAS PASSAGE - THROUGH UPSTREAM CHOKE. MINIMIZES EROSION OF SEAT AREA - PRESSURE DROP TAKEN ACROSS UPSTREAM CHOKE. REDUCES FREEZING - MINIMUM Dp ACROSS SURFACE INJECTION GAS CHOKE. NO PRESSURE DROP - VALVE IDEAL FOR DUAL GAS LIFT WELLS.

16 CONCLUSIONS WELL LIFTING AT DEEPEST POSSIBLE POINT AT PRESENT INJECTION GAS RATE. BALANCE PORTED TYPE VALVE ALLOWS WELL TO UNLOAD AND PRODUCE AT OPTIMUM RATE WITH INITIAL DESIGN AND SINGLE POINT INJECTION. COULD NOT BE ACHIEVED WITH IPO OR PPO VALVES WITH INITIAL DESIGN. $51,000 MONTHLY REVENUE INCREASE REALIZED FROM UTILIZATION OF BALANCE PORTED GAS LIFT VALVES ($19.00/BBL).

18 PRODUCTION OPTIMIZATION UTILIZING BALANCED PORTED VALVES
Prepared by Altec sales group for ASME Gas Lift Workshop, February 6, 2002 Abstract With most current production and artificial lift modeling programs, it is possible to compare properly gathered empirical pressure and well test data with calculated correlations. It is important that a wide selection of calculated correlations be available for comparison so that best correlation for user conditions and parameters can be identified. Once the correct correlation is identified, results will mimic existing conditions. Subsequent sensitivity simulations will produce accurate projections as to how the well will respond to facility revisions, reservoir stimulation or artificial lift revisions. When Gas Lift is the means of artificial lift, the choices for equipment types are usually limited to injection pressure operated valves, producing pressure operated valves and a small selection of other type valves. In many cases, the user is not aware of the advantages of other type valves and does not consider them in evaluating the maximum potential. One such type valve is the balance ported valve. Balance ported valves are ported and choked so that opening and closing forces are equal. This is accomplished by preventing the ball stem’s seating area from sensing casing pressure when the valve is in the open position. Balance ported valves have been in service for many years under several different trade names and porting configurations. Altec Gas Lift Inc. has ran thousands of one such type valve since 1984, the Constant Flow(R) Valve protected under U.S. Patent No. 4,625,941. This presentation will cover a project that illustrates the advantages of proper modeling techniques and utilization of balance ported valves.
