Abstract
Provided is a safety valve. The safety valve, in one aspect, includes a valve body defining a central bore extending axially through the valve body, a sliding sleeve disposed in the central bore, and a flow tube disposed relative to the sliding sleeve. The safety valve, in this aspect, further includes a piston operable to transmit force to one or the other of the sliding sleeve or flow tube, a valve closure mechanism disposed on a distal end of the valve body, and an activation channel coupling the piston and a pressure downhole of the valve closure mechanism for providing the force to the one or the other of the sliding sleeve or flow tube.
Claims (20)
1. A safety valve, comprising: a valve body defining a central bore extending axially through the valve body; a sliding sleeve disposed in the central bore; a flow tube disposed relative to the sliding sleeve; a piston operable to transmit force to one or the other of the sliding sleeve or flow tube; a valve closure mechanism disposed on a distal end of the valve body; and an activation channel coupling the piston and a pressure downhole of the valve closure mechanism for providing the force to the one or the other of the sliding sleeve or flow tube.
2. The safety valve as recited in Claim 1, wherein the activation channel couples the piston and the pressure downhole of the valve closure mechanism through the valve body.
3. The safety valve as recited in Claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the activation channel comprises an annulus between the valve body and tubing disposed thereabout.
4. The safety valve as recited in Claim 3, wherein the tubing is production tubing.
5. The safety valve as recited in Claim 3, wherein the tubing is a portion of a surface-controlled subsurface safety valve.
6. The safety valve as recited in Claim 1, further including a magnetic assembly movable with the sliding sleeve or flow tube, the magnetic assembly operable to couple to a fixed electromagnetic assembly in tubing disposed thereabout to prevent the sliding sleeve or flow tube from moving.
7. The safety valve as recited in Claim 6, wherein the magnetic assembly comprises a ferromagnetic material.
8. The safety valve as recited in Claim 1, wherein the valve body defines a portion of an insert safety valve, and further wherein no power is routed to the insert safety valve.
9. A well system, comprising: a production string having a production string central bore located in a wellbore; and a safety valve positioned within the production string central bore, the safety valve including; a valve body defining a central bore extending axially through the valve body; a sliding sleeve disposed in the central bore; a flow tube disposed relative to the sliding sleeve; a piston operable to transmit force to one or the other of the sliding sleeve or flow tube; a valve closure mechanism disposed on a distal end of the valve body; and an activation channel coupling the piston and a pressure in the production string downhole of the valve closure mechanism for providing the force to the one or the other of the sliding sleeve or flow tube.
10. The well system as recited in Claim 9, wherein at least a portion of the activation channel comprises an annulus between the valve body and production string.
11. The well system as recited in Claim 10, wherein the production string includes a surface-controlled subsurface safety valve, and further wherein the at least a portion of the activation channel comprises an annulus between the valve body and the surface-controlled subsurface safety valve.
12. The well system as recited in Claim 11, wherein the production string has a fixed electromagnetic assembly coupled thereto, and further wherein the safety valve includes a magnetic assembly movable with the sliding sleeve or flow tube, the magnetic assembly operable to couple to the fixed electromagnetic assembly to prevent the sliding sleeve or flow tube from moving.
13. The well system as recited in Claim 12, wherein the magnetic assembly comprises a ferromagnetic material.
14. The well system as recited in Claim 9, wherein power is routed to the fixed electromagnetic assembly but no power is routed to the safety valve.
15. A method for operating a well system, comprising: positioning a production string having a production string central bore in a wellbore; positioning a safety valve within the production string central bore, the safety valve including; a valve body defining a central bore extending axially through the valve body; a sliding sleeve disposed in the central bore; a flow tube disposed relative to the sliding sleeve; a piston operable to transmit force to one or the other of the sliding sleeve or flow tube; a valve closure mechanism disposed on a distal end of the valve body; and an activation channel coupling the piston and a pressure in the production string downhole of the valve closure mechanism for providing the force to the one or the other of the sliding sleeve or flow tube; applying downhole pressure from the production string below the valve closure mechanism to the piston via the activation channel to move the piston and assist in opening the safety valve.
16. The method as recited in Claim 15, wherein the production string additionally includes a fixed electromagnetic assembly coupled thereto, and further wherein the safety valve includes a magnetic assembly movable with the sliding sleeve or flow tube, the magnetic assembly operable to couple to the fixed electromagnetic assembly to prevent the sliding sleeve or flow tube from moving uphole.
17. The method as recited in Claim 16, further including energizing the fixed electromagnetic assembly to fix the magnetic assembly to the fixed electromagnetic assembly to prevent the sliding sleeve or flow tube from moving uphole.
18. The method as recited in Claim 17, further including equalizing a pressure across the valve closure mechanism after energizing the fixed electromagnetic assembly, thereby allowing the flow tube to open and extend past the valve closure mechanism.
19. The method as recited in Claim 18, further including cutting power to the energized fixed electromagnetic assembly, thereby causing the flow tube to move uphole past the valve closure mechanism and close the safety valve.
20. The method as recited in Claim 15, wherein the safety valve is an insert safety valve that has no power routed thereto.
