Abstract

A modular downhole safety valve system comprising a plurality of valve modules being selectable in the field, the valve modules being connectable to one another in the field to define a modular safety valve having desired parameters and is ready for downhole deployment without additional certification.

Claims (15)

  1. What is claimed is: 1. A modular downhole safety valve system (10) characterized by a plurality of valve modules (16) being selectable in the field, the valve modules (16) being connectable to one another in the field to define a modular safety valve (18) having desired parameters and is ready for downhole deployment without additional certification.
  2. 2. The modular safety valve system (10) of claim 1, wherein more than one of a same type of the valve modules (16) can be employed to define the desired parameters.
  3. 3. The modular safety valve system (10) of claim 2, wherein the valve modules (16) are spring modules (16A, 16D, 16E, 16H), and biasing forces of the more than one spring modules (16A, 16D, 16E, 16H) are additive.
  4. 4. The modular safety valve system (10) of claim 1, wherein each of the modules (16) includes a first threaded end and a second threaded end, the first threaded end and the second threaded end of one of the valve modules (16) being configured to threadably engage with threaded ends of other of the valve modules (16) in a daisy-chain fashion.
  5. 5. The modular safety valve system (10) of claim 1, wherein the valve modules (16) are selectable from the group comprising: a nipple adapter module (16K), a control module (16C, 16J), a spring module (16B, 16D, 16E, 16H), a flapper module (16A, 16G), and a bottom sub module (16F).
  6. 6. The modular safety valve system (10) of claim 1, wherein the desired parameters including at least one of a valve closure mechanism and a valve operating mechanism.
  7. 7. The modular safety valve system (10) of claim 6, wherein the valve closure mechanism includes at least one of an equalizing mechanism and a non-equalizing mechanism.
  8. 8. A plurality of valve modules (16) for a modular downhole safety valve (18) ready for downhole deployment comprising at least a first valve module and a second valve module both being selected from the plurality of valve modules (16) such that assembly of the first valve module to the second valve module defines the modular downhole safety valve (18) having selected parameters and being ready for downhole deployment without additional certification.
  9. 9. The valve module (16) of claim 8 wherein the first valve module and the second valve module each include a first threaded end and a second threaded end, the first threaded end and the second threaded end being configured to threadably engage with threaded ends of other module in a daisy-chain fashion.
  10. 10. The valve module (16) of claim 8 wherein the first valve module is a first spring module (16B) configured to be connected in the field to the second valve module that is a second spring module (16D) to define a total valve biasing force
  11. 11. A method of setting parameters of a downhole safety valve (18) in the field characterized by: configuring a plurality of valve modules (16), each of the valve modules (16) being connectable to others of the valve modules (16) such that assembly of a first of the valve modules to a second of the valve modules defines the downhole safety valve having selected parameters and being ready for downhole deployment without additional certification; and providing the plurality of the valve modules (16) for selection in the field
  12. 12. The method of setting parameters of a safety valve (18) of claim 11, further comprising certifying each of the plurality of valve modules (16) in an API 14A facility
  13. 13. The method of setting parameters of a safety valve (18) of claim 11, further comprising configuring the plurality of valve modules (16) to be connectable to others of the valve modules (16) in an end-to-end daisy-chain fashion
  14. 14. The method of setting parameters of a safety valve (18) of claim 11, further comprising configuring the plurality of valve modules (16) to be connectable to others of the valve modules (16) such that an operating parameter of the safety valve (18) is determined by a number of a same type of the valve modules (16) assembled .
  15. 15. The method of setting parameters of a safety valve (18) of claim 11, further comprising configuring the plurality of valve modules (16) to be connectable to others of the valve modules (16) such that at least one of a valve closure mechanism and a valve operating mechanism of the downhole safety valve (18) is defined by which of the valve modules (16) are assembled in the field.
